Nature
|November 7, 2012
Resumen
El Proyecto 1000 Genomas mapeó la variación genética humana en 14 poblaciones. Este recurso revela perfiles genéticos específicos de la población y el impacto de la selección en la distribución de variantes, ayudando a la investigación de enfermedades.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La genómica es la genómica.
- Genética Humana Genética Humana.
- Genética de la población Genética de la población.
Sus antecedentes:
- Comprender la variación genética humana es crucial para identificar los factores genéticos que contribuyen a las enfermedades.
- Los esfuerzos anteriores han proporcionado vistas parciales de la diversidad genética humana.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Caracterizar el espectro geográfico y funcional de la variación genética humana.
- Para crear un recurso integral para el estudio de la base genética de la enfermedad.
Principales métodos:
- Secuenciación de 1.092 individuos de 14 poblaciones diversas utilizando secuenciación de genoma completo y exoma de baja cobertura.
- Integración de datos de múltiples algoritmos y fuentes para crear un mapa de haplotipo validado.
- Caracterización de los polimorfismos de un solo nucleótido (SNPs), las inserciones/deleciones (indels) y las deleciones más grandes.
Principales resultados:
- Se generó un mapa de haplotipos de 38 millones de SNPs, 1,4 millones de indels y más de 14,000 deleciones más grandes.
- Se observó una diferenciación geográfica significativa en las variantes de baja frecuencia, influenciada por la selección purificadora.
- Cada individuo lleva cientos de variantes no codificantes raras en sitios conservados.
Conclusiones:
- Las poblaciones humanas exhiben perfiles distintos de variantes genéticas raras y comunes.
- La conservación evolutiva y el impacto funcional son factores clave de la selección de las variantes.
- Este recurso permite un análisis detallado de la variación genética en poblaciones diversas y mezcladas.

Genomic DNA in Eukaryotes
45.9K
Eukaryotes have large genomes compared to prokaryotes. To fit their genomes into a cell, eukaryotic DNA is packaged extraordinarily tightly inside the nucleus. To achieve this, DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, which are packaged into nucleosomes that are joined by linker DNA and coil into chromatin fibers. Additional fibrous proteins further compact the chromatin, which is recognizable as chromosomes during certain phases of cell division.

Genomics
35.5K
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...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons
5.8K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs
14.6K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Human Genetics
2.0K
Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.

Genetic Variation
1.7K
Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences found among individuals of the same species. This diversity is crucial for a species' survival because it helps organisms adapt to environmental changes. Genetic variation begins with fertilization, where an egg and sperm cell merge. Each of these cells carries 23 chromosomes, up to 46 in the fertilized egg. Chromosomes are long DNA strands that contain genes, the basic units of heredity.
