Combinatorial Gene Control02:33

Combinatorial Gene Control

8.4K
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression.
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Inheritance01:25

Inheritance

447
Gregor Mendel's pioneering work on the principles of inheritance fundamentally transformed our understanding of how traits are transmitted from generation to generation. His experiments with pea plants laid the groundwork for the discovery of genes, discrete units within organisms that control heredity.
Each gene exists in pairs, and the combination of these genes from both parents forms an individual's genotype. This genotype is a blueprint of potential traits. Examples of genotype...

In animals, gender is determined by the number and type of sex chromosome. For example, human females have two X chromosomes, and males have one X and one Y chromosome, whereas C.elegans with one X chromosome is a male, and the one with two X chromosomes is a hermaphrodite.
In addition to sexual development, the X chromosome has genes involved in autosomal functions such as brain development and the immune system. Therefore, males and females with  distinct numbers of X chromosomes will...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

34.9K
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...

Position-effect Variegation02:32

Position-effect Variegation

6.4K
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

7.0K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Population Genetics
  • Gene Regulation

Background:

  • Regulatory elements control gene expression.
  • Genetic variants in non-coding regions can alter gene expression by affecting DNA-binding proteins.
  • Understanding the impact of local ancestry on gene expression is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the aggregate impact of genetic variants on tissue-specific gene expression regulation.
  • Analyze the role of local ancestral structure in coding and regulatory regions.
  • Examine how genetic variations influence gene expression across different ancestries.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized paired whole-genome sequence and tissue-wide transcriptome data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project.
  • Determined local ancestral origins of coding and regulatory regions using RFMix and the 1000 Genomes Project reference panel.
  • Estimated inter-individual variation in gene expression explained by concordant or discordant local ancestry.

Main Results:

  • African descent exhibited more frequent local ancestral structure changes with shorter haplotype blocks compared to European descent.
  • The Adenosine Deaminase Like (ADAL) gene's expression level was significantly associated with admixed ancestral structure in regulatory regions across multiple tissues.
  • Local ancestry patterns in regulatory regions influence tissue-specific gene expression.

Conclusions:

  • Local ancestral structure in regulatory regions plays a role in human gene expression regulation.
  • Admixed ancestry patterns in regulatory regions can impact specific gene expression, such as ADAL.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the impact of local ancestral structure on gene expression in humans and other species.
