2. What is a Chromosome?
• It is a single piece of
coiled DNA
containing
many genes,
regulatory
elements and
other nucleotide
sequence
• Chromosomes vary
widely between
different organisms .
3. What is Gene
• Basic unit of
Hereditary in living
organism.
• It is a segment of
DNA, Located at
specific points of the
Chromosome.
• Genes contains
instructions for
making PROTEINS.
4. What is Genome
• It is the complete set of
chromosomes of an
organism.
• Every organism has a
specific Genome. i.e: The
number of chromosomal
pairs is specific for every
organism.
• Human genome has
23pairs of chromosomes.
5. GENOMICS
• The term genomics was first used by
Thomas Roderick in 1986
• GENOMICS is the Study of entire
Genomes, Sequences, Gene
organization & Mutations at the DNA
level.
• It is the study of Information Flow
within a cell & Functional Analysis.
6. PHARMACOGENOMICS
• It is the study of the inherited
variations in genes that control
the body’s response to drugs.
• The ways these variations can
be used to predict whether a
patient will have a good or bad
response to a drug, or no
response at all.
7. Importance
• Adverse drug reactions.
Patients with different genetic
variations may require different
amounts of a drug to achieve the
same effect.
• Drugs may be toxic in patients of one
genotype and helpful to patients of
another.
8. • The route to a new medicine is a long.
one Idea to Market new Drug need11-
15 Years.
• Exploratory Development of Full
Development on Phase I, Phase II,
Phase III &Phase IV
• Development on Choosing the Best
Targets, Better Understanding of Our
Targets, Improving Early Decision
Making, Predicting, Efficacy and
Safety.
Importance
9. Development on Genomics
• Now Genomics is being developed as
a sub-discipline of genetics which is
devoted to the mapping, sequencing
and functional analysis of genomes.
• It is a computer aided study of
structure and function of entire
genome of an organism.
10. Development on Genomics
• It deals with mapping of genes
on the chromosomes, functioning
of genes and metabolic pathways
in an organism.
• It deals with sequencing of genes
in an organism.
• It is a rapid and accurate
method of gene mapping.
11. • The genomic techniques are highly
powerful, efficient and effective in
solving complex genetic problems.
• Now the use of genomic techniques
has become indispensable in plant
breeding and genetics.
Development on Genomics
12. Tool Used in Genomics
• Molecular Marker Technology
• Microarray Chip Technology
• Comparative Genomics
13. Impact of GENOMICS on
MEDICINE
• How to characterize new
diseases?
• What are the new treatments
can be discovered?
• How do we treat individual
patients?
14. Main Applications
1. Structural genomics:
Finding out the sequences of genomes.
2. Functional genomics:
Probing the pattern of gene expression in a
given cell type at a given time.
3. Positional cloning:
Finding genes involved in genetic traits,
especially genetic diseases.
15. Structural Genomics
It deals with the study of the structure
of entire genome of an organism.
It deals with the study of the genetic
structure of the each chromosome of
the genome.
It determines size of the genome of a
species in Megabases (Mb) and also
the number of genes present in the
entire genome of a species.
16. • It involves High resolution genetic
and physical maps.
• Sequencing Complete set of proteins
in an organism Often, three-
dimensional structure of the
concerned protein.
Structural Genomics
20. Functional Genomics
• It deals with the study of function of
all genes found in the entire genome
of a living organism.
• It deals with transcriptome and
proteome.
• The transcriptome refers to complete
set of RNAs transcribed from a
genome and proteome refers to
complete set of proteins encoded by a
genome.
21. • Functional genomics assigns
functions to each and every gene
identified through structural
genomics.
• Thus functional genomics is more
complicated that structural
genomics
Functional Genomics
24. Implications for Biomedicine
• Physicians will use genetic
information to diagnose and treat
various disease.
• Faster drug development research
• Pharmacogenomics-
Individualized drugs All Biologists /
Doctors will use gene sequence
information in their daily work.
