    Overview: Reading the Leaves from the

    Tree of Life Complete genome sequences exist for a human,

    chimpanzee, E. coli, brewers yeast, corn, fruit fly,

    house mouse, rhesus macaque, and otherorganisms

    Comparisons of genomes among organisms

    provide information about the evolutionary history

    of genes and taxonomic groups

    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

    2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution

    18/106

    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

    19/106

    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

    Centralized Resources for Analyzing

    Genome Sequences

    Bioinformatics resources are provided by a

    number of sources

    National Library of Medicine and the NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH) created the National

    Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)

    European Molecular Biology Laboratory

    DNA Data Bank of Japan BGI in Shenzhen, China

    2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution

    21/106

    Genbank, the NCBI database of sequences,doubles its data approximately every 18 months

    Software is available that allows online visitors tosearch Genbank for matches to

    A specific DNA sequence

    A predicted protein sequence

    Common stretches of amino acids in a protein

    The NCBI website also provides 3-D views of allprotein structures that have been determined

    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

    2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution

    24/106

    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

    2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

  • 7/27/2019 21 Lecture Genome and Evolution

    25/106

    Understanding Genes and Gene

    Expression at the Systems Level

    Proteomics is the systematic study of all proteins

    encoded by a genome

    Proteins, not genes, carry out most of theactivities of the cell

    26/106

    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

  • 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

    37/106

    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

    39/106

    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

    Movement of Transposons and

    Retrotransposons Eukaryotic transposable elements are of two

    types

    Transposons, which move by means of a DNA

    Retrotransposons, which move by means of an

    RNA 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

    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

  • 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 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

    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

    Sometimes small changes in regulatorysequences of certain genes lead to major

    changes in body form
