Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

19.2K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

10.5K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

6.1K
PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

30.4K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial anomalies
    • Developmental biology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is a congenital condition characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis.
    • These features lead to severe neonatal respiratory obstruction and feeding challenges, impacting long-term growth and development.
    • While clinically recognizable, PRS exhibits significant etiological heterogeneity, complicating diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the underlying causes and developmental trajectories of Pierre Robin sequence.
    • To understand the heterogeneity in the etiology of PRS despite phenotypic similarities.
    • To provide insights into the diverse factors contributing to mandibular growth defects in PRS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical features and diagnostic criteria for PRS.
    • Analysis of etiological heterogeneity, including genetic and cytogenetic associations.
    • Classification of PRS natural history based on mandibular growth defects (primary vs. secondary).

    Main Results:

    • PRS is fundamentally a defect in mandibular growth, with two main developmental pathways: primary mandibular outgrowth issues and secondary impacts on mandibular growth.
    • Altered developmental trajectories are influenced by cartilage growth, neuromuscular function, and fetal constraint.
    • Numerous genetic and cytogenetic factors are associated with PRS, indicating diverse origins for this phenotype.

    Conclusions:

    • Pierre Robin sequence results from diverse etiological factors impacting mandibular development.
    • Understanding the heterogeneity is crucial for effective management and research into PRS.
    • The common endpoint of PRS can be reached through various genetic and developmental pathways.
