Genomics

40.8K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

37.2K
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...

Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes

9.2K
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.

Comparing Mitochondrial, Chloroplast, and Prokaryotic Genomes

16.4K
The present-day mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes have retained some of the characteristics of their ancestral prokaryotes and also have acquired new attributes during their evolution within eukaryotic cells. Like prokaryotic genomes, mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes neither bind with histone-like proteins nor show complex packaging into chromosome-like structures, as observed in eukaryotes. Unlike mitotic cell divisions observed in eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts...

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes00:46

Genomic DNA in Prokaryotes

48.7K
The genome of most prokaryotic organisms consists of double-stranded DNA organized into one circular chromosome in a region of cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The chromosome is tightly wound, or supercoiled, for efficient storage. Prokaryotes also contain other circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. These plasmids are smaller than the chromosome and often carry genes that confer adaptive functions, such as antibiotic resistance.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Privacy Law

Background:

  • Genetic information uniquely predicts current and future health for individuals and relatives.
  • Decreasing DNA sequencing costs fuel large genomic data repositories across research, healthcare, and consumer sectors.
  • Genomic data fuels discovery but carries risks, as deidentified data can be reidentified.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the current landscape of genomic privacy and confidentiality in the US.
  • To identify and describe current and future risks to genomic privacy.
  • To address the increasing importance of reidentification and inference risks with expanding genomic databases.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current US genomic privacy and confidentiality practices.
  • Analysis of reidentification techniques combining genomic data with public databases.
  • Examination of case studies demonstrating DNA profile and genealogy database integration.

Main Results:

  • Standard deidentification methods are insufficient to protect genomic data privacy.
  • Publicly available demographic and genealogy databases facilitate genomic data reidentification.
  • Law enforcement success in solving cold cases highlights the power of combined DNA and genealogy data.

Conclusions:

  • Genomic data privacy is a growing concern due to increasing data accessibility and reidentification capabilities.
  • The potential for reidentification and inference of genetic information for relatives will escalate.
  • Proactive strategies are needed to safeguard genomic privacy in the face of technological advancements.
