Concept 21.1: New approaches have
accelerated the pace of genome sequencing
The most ambitious mapping project to date hasbeen the sequencing of the human genome
Officially begun as the Human Genome Projectin 1990, the sequencing was largely completedby 2003
The project had three stages
Genetic (or linkage) mapping
Physical mapping
DNA sequencing

Three-Stage Approach to Genome
Sequencing
A linkage map (genetic map) maps the location
of several thousand genetic markers on each
chromosome A genetic marker is a gene or other identifiable
DNA sequence
Recombination frequencies are used to
determine the order and relative distancesbetween genetic markers

A physical map expresses the distance betweengenetic markers, usually as the number of base
pairs along the DNA
It is constructed by cutting a DNA molecule into
many short fragments and arranging them in
order by identifying overlaps

Whole-Genome Shotgun Approach to
Genome Sequencing
The whole-genome shotgun approach was
developed by J. Craig Venter in 1992
This approach skips genetic and physical mappingand sequences random DNA fragments directly
Powerful computer programs are used to order
fragments into a continuous sequence

Both the three-stage process and the whole-genome shotgun approach were used for the
Human Genome Project and for genome
sequencing of other organisms
At first many scientists were skeptical about the
whole-genome shotgun approach, but it is now
widely used as the sequencing method of choice
The development of newer sequencingtechniques has resulted in massive increases in
speed and decreases in cost

Technological advances have also facilitatedmetagenomics, in which DNA from a group of
species (a metagenome) is collected from an
environmental sample and sequenced
This technique has been used on microbial
communities, allowing the sequencing of DNA of
mixed populations, and eliminating the need to
culture species in the lab

Concept 21.2 Scientists use bioinformatics
to analyze genomes and their functions
The Human Genome Project established
databases and refined analytical software to make
data available on the Internet
This has accelerated progress in DNA sequence
analysis

Identifying Protein-Coding Genes and
Understanding Their Functions
Using available DNA sequences, geneticists can
study genes directly in an approach called reverse
genetics
The identification of protein coding genes within
DNA sequences in a database is called gene
annotation

Gene annotation is largely an automated process Comparison of sequences of previously unknown
genes with those of known genes in other species
may help provide clues about their function

How Systems Are Studied: An Example
A systems biology approach can be applied todefine gene circuits and protein interactionnetworks
Researchers working on the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae used sophisticatedtechniques to disable pairs of genes one pair at atime, creating double mutants
Computer software then mapped genes to
produce a network-like functional mapof theirinteractions
The systems biology approach is possiblebecause of advances in bioinformatics

Application of Systems Biology to Medicine
A systems biology approach has several medicalapplications
The Cancer Genome Atlas project is currently
seeking all the common mutations in three types
of cancer by comparing gene sequences andexpression in cancer versus normal cells
This has been so fruitful, it will be extended to
ten other common cancers
Silicon and glass chipshave been produced
that hold a microarray of most known human
genes

Concept 21.3 Genomes vary in size,
number of genes, and gene density
By early 2010, over 1,200 genomes were
completely sequenced, including 1,000 bacteria,
80 archaea, and 124 eukaryotes
Sequencing of over 5,500 genomes and over 200
metagenomes is currently in progress
2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution
33/106
Genome Size
Genomes of most bacteria and archaea rangefrom 1 to 6 million base pairs (Mb); genomes of
eukaryotes are usually larger
Most plants and animals have genomes greater
than 100 Mb; humans have 3,000 Mb
Within each domain there is no systematic
relationship between genome size and phenotype

Number of Genes
Free-living bacteria and archaea have 1,500 to7,500 genes
Unicellular fungi have from about 5,000 genes
and multicellular eukaryotes up to at least 40,000
genes
2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution
36/106
Number of genes is not correlated to genome size For example, it is estimated that the nematode
C. elegans has 100 Mb and 20,000 genes, while
Drosophilahas 165 Mb and 13,700 genes
Vertebrate genomes can produce more than one
polypeptide per gene because of alternative
splicing of RNA transcripts

Gene Density and Noncoding DNA
Humans and other mammals have the lowestgene density, or number of genes, in a given
length of DNA
Multicellular eukaryotes have many introns within
genes and noncoding DNA between genes
2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
-
7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution
38/106
Concept 21.4: Multicellular eukaryotes
have much noncoding DNA and many
multigene families
The bulk of most eukaryotic genomes neither
encodes proteins nor functional RNAs Much evidence indicates that noncoding DNA
(previously called junk DNA) plays importantroles in the cell
For example, genomes of humans, rats, and miceshow high sequence conservation for about 500noncoding regions

Sequencing of the human genome reveals that98.5% does not code for proteins, rRNAs, ortRNAs
About a quarter of the human genome codes for
introns and gene-related regulatory sequences

Intergenic DNA is noncoding DNA found betweengenes
Pseudogenes are former genes that haveaccumulated mutations and are nonfunctional
Repetitive DNAis present in multiple copies inthe genome
About three-fourths of repetitive DNA is made up
of transposable elements and sequences relatedto them

Transposable Elements and Related
Sequences
The first evidence for mobile DNA segmentscame from geneticist Barbara McClintocksbreeding experiments with Indian corn
McClintock identified changes in the color of cornkernels that made sense only by postulating thatsome genetic elements move from other genomelocations into the genes for kernel color
These transposable elements move from onesite to another in a cells DNA; they are present inboth prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Retrotransposons Eukaryotic transposable elements are of two
types
Transposons, which move by means of a DNA
intermediate

Sequences Related to Transposable
Elements Multiple copies of transposable elements and
related sequences are scattered throughout the
eukaryotic genome
In primates, a large portion of transposable
elementrelated DNA consists of a family of
similar sequences calledAlu elements
ManyAlu elements are transcribed into RNAmolecules; however their function, if any, is
unknown

The human genome also contains manysequences of a type of retrotransposon called
LINE-1 (L1)
L1 sequences have a low rate of transposition
and may help regulate gene expression

Other Repetitive DNA, Including Simple
Sequence DNA
About 15% of the human genome consists of
duplication of long sequences of DNA from one
location to another
In contrast, simple sequence DNA contains
many copies of tandemly repeated short
sequences
2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
-
7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution
52/106
A series of repeating units of 2 to 5 nucleotides iscalled a short tandem repeat (STR)
The repeat number for STRs can vary among
sites (within a genome) or individuals
Simple sequence DNA is common in
centromeres and telomeres, where it probably
plays structural roles in the chromosome

Genes and Multigene Families
Many eukaryotic genes are present in one copyper haploid set of chromosomes
The rest of the genes occur in multigene
families, collections of identical or very similar
genes
Some multigene families consist of identical DNA
sequences, usually clustered tandemly, such as
those that code for rRNA products

Concept 21.5: Duplication,
rearrangement, and mutation of DNA
contribute to genome evolution
The basis of change at the genomic level is
mutation, which underlies much of genomeevolution
The earliest forms of life likely had a minimal
number of genes, including only those necessary
for survival and reproduction The size of genomes has increased over
evolutionary time, with the extra genetic material
providing raw material for gene diversification 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Duplication of Entire Chromosome Sets
Accidents in meiosis can lead to one or moreextra sets of chromosomes, a condition known as
polyploidy
The genes in one or more of the extra sets can
diverge by accumulating mutations; thesevariations may persist if the organism carrying
them survives and reproduces

Alterations of Chromosome Structure
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, whilechimpanzees have 24 pairs
Following the divergence of humans andchimpanzees from a common ancestor, two
ancestral chromosomes fused in the human line Duplications and inversions result from mistakes
during meiotic recombination
Comparative analysis between chromosomes ofhumans and seven mammalian species paints ahypothetical chromosomal evolutionary history

The rate of duplications and inversions seems tohave accelerated about 100 million years ago
This coincides with when large dinosaurs wentextinct and mammals diversified
Chromosomal rearrangements are thought tocontribute to the generation of new species
Some of the recombination hot spotsassociatedwith chromosomal rearrangement are alsolocations that are associated with diseases

Duplication and Divergence of Gene-Sized
Regions of DNA
Unequal crossing over during prophase I of
meiosis can result in one chromosome with a
deletion and another with a duplication of a
particular region
Transposable elements can provide sites for
crossover between nonsister chromatids

Evolution of Genes with Related Functions:
The Human Globin Genes The genes encoding the various globin proteins
evolved from one common ancestral globin gene,
which duplicated and diverged about 450500
million years ago
After the duplication events, differences between
the genes in the globin family arose from the
accumulation of mutations

Subsequent duplications of these genes andrandom mutations gave rise to the present globin
genes, which code for oxygen-binding proteins
The similarity in the amino acid sequences of the
various globin proteins supports this model ofgene duplication and mutation

Evolution of Genes with Novel Functions
The copies of some duplicated genes havediverged so much in evolution that the functionsof their encoded proteins are now very different
For example the lysozyme gene was duplicated
and evolved into the gene that encodes-lactalbumin in mammals
Lysozyme is an enzyme that helps protectanimals against bacterial infection
-lactalbumin is a nonenzymatic protein thatplays a role in milk production in mammals

Rearrangements of Parts of Genes: Exon
Duplication and Exon Shuffling
The duplication or repositioning of exons has
contributed to genome evolution
Errors in meiosis can result in an exon being
duplicated on one chromosome and deleted from
the homologous chromosome
In exon shuffling, errors in meiotic recombination
lead to some mixing and matching of exons,either within a gene or between two nonallelic
genes

How Transposable Elements Contribute
to Genome Evolution
Multiple copies of similar transposable elements
may facilitate recombination, or crossing over,
between different chromosomes
Insertion of transposable elements within a
protein-coding sequence may block protein
production
Insertion of transposable elements within aregulatory sequence may increase or decrease
protein production
2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
-
7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution
76/106
Transposable elements may carry a gene orgroups of genes to a new position
Transposable elements may also create new
sites for alternative splicing in an RNA transcript
In all cases, changes are usually detrimental but
may on occasion prove advantageous to an
organism

Comparing Distantly Related Species
Highly conserved genes have changed very littleover time
These help clarify relationships among speciesthat diverged from each other long ago
Bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes diverged fromeach other between 2 and 4 billion years ago
Highly conserved genes can be studied in onemodel organism, and the results applied to otherorganisms

Comparing Closely Related Species
Genetic differences between closely relatedspecies can be correlated with phenotypic
differences
For example, genetic comparison of several
mammals with nonmammals helps identify what ittakes to make a mammal

Human and chimpanzee genomes differ by 1.2%,at single base-pairs, and by 2.7% because of
insertions and deletions
Several genes are evolving faster in humans than
chimpanzees
These include genes involved in defense against
malaria and tuberculosis and in regulation of
brain size, and genes that code for transcriptionfactors

Humans and chimpanzees differ in the expressionof the FOXP2 gene, whose product turns on
genes involved in vocalization
Differences in the FOXP2 gene may explain why
humans but not chimpanzees communicate byspeech

Comparing Genomes Within a Species
As a species, humans have only been aroundabout 200,000 years and have low within-
species genetic variation
Variation within humans is due to single
nucleotide polymorphisms, inversions, deletions,and duplications
Most surprising is the large number of copy-
number variants
These variations are useful for studying human
evolution and human health

Comparing Developmental Processes
Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo,is the study of the evolution of developmental
processes in multicellular organisms
Genomic information shows that minor differences
in gene sequence or regulation can result instriking differences in form

Genes Among Animals
Molecular analysis of the homeotic genes inDrosophilahas shown that they all include asequence called a homeobox
An identical or very similar nucleotide sequencehas been discovered in the homeotic genes ofboth vertebrates and invertebrates
Homeobox genes code for a domain that allows aprotein to bind to DNA and to function as atranscription regulator
Homeotic genes in animals are called Hox genes

Related homeobox sequences have been foundin regulatory genes of yeasts, plants, and even
prokaryotes
In addition to homeotic genes, many other
developmental genes are highly conserved fromspecies to species

Sometimes small changes in regulatorysequences of certain genes lead to major
changes in body form
For example, variation in Hox gene expression
controls variation in leg-bearing segments ofcrustaceans and insects
In other cases, genes with conserved sequences
play different roles in different species

Comparison of Animal and Plant
Development
In both plants and animals, development relies on
a cascade of transcriptional regulators turning
genes on or off in a finely tuned series
Molecular evidence supports the separate
evolution of developmental programs in plants
and animals
Mads-box genes in plants are the regulatoryequivalent of Hox genes in animals
