1. Catalyst: 3-17 What is gene therapy? How can it help people?

2. Genetic Diseases  Medical conditions caused by an error in a person’s genetic material  Some Show as Birth Defects  Others do not become evident until childhood or adult life.  Can be mild (color blindness) to life threatening

3. Gene Therapy Gene therapy refers to treating genetic disorders by correcting a defect in a gene or by providing a normal form of a gene.

4. This Little Light of Mine: This Little Light of Mine: Transform bacteria with a Jellyfish gene to make them glow

5. Aequorea victoria: Source of “glowing gene” for this experiment

6. Jellyfish Gene put into Other Critters

7. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN???

8. DNA TECHNOLOGY!!!

9. Recognize specific base sequences in DNA Cut DNA at those recognition sites Restriction Enzymes

10. Recombinant DNA: combination of DNA from 2 or more sources

11. Put Recombinant into bacteria cells and clone them… then put them where you want them!!!

13. SCIENCE IN THE NEWS: Seg 7 What is manic depression? What is its connection to the human genome project? How might the discovery of a genetic cause for manic depression help patients like Kay Redfield Jamison, the woman featured in the segment? According to Francis Collins, the second scientist interviewed, why are scientists excited about the Human Genome Project?

15. DNA Fingerprinting Determination of an individual’s unique collection of DNA restriction fragments

16. Collect Tissue Sample How to do DNA Fingerprinting The Big Picture >1000 cells RFLP / Southern blotPCR Analysis RFLP / Southern blot >20 cells

17. RFLP Analysis RFLP – Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism; for related DNA molecules, a difference in DNA fragment sizes after restriction enzyme digestion –Difference results from presence of different DNA sequences –Certain regions of genome are highly variable

18. AGATCT Wild-type allele Mutant allele TCTAGA A single nucleotide change can make a difference AGAGCT TCTCGA Restriction site Not a restriction site

19. Example: Sickle-cell allele destroys an MstII site

20. Need to Analyze only a Small Fraction of Genome Human genome is too big to analyze: 3 x 10 9 base pairs  65,536 bp between cuts = ~46,000 bands Most regions of genome are not suitable: 99.9% of DNA sequence is same from one person to the next Solutions: Limit analysis to a few genomic regions Focus on regions which are highly variable

21. How to Focus on Specific Regions of Genome Need a probe: A short single stranded DNA which is complementary to the region of interest CAGTATACACAAGTACCGTACCTGGCTCAGTTATACGCCGA A probe will base pair to the region of interest GTCATATGTGTTCATGGCATGGACCGAGTCAATATGCGGCT ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ATGGCATGGACC :::::::::::: probe

22. Southern Blotting

23. Simple Tandem Repeats (STRs)

24. Simple Tandem Repeats (STR’s) STR – region of DNA containing tandem copies of di-, tri- or tetranucleotide repeat units. Examples: Dinucleotide repeats: GTGTGTGTGTGT…… Trinucleotide repeats:ACGACGACGACG…… Tetranucleotide repeats:TATCTATCTATC……

25. More on STRs Number of repeats varies greatly between individuals STRs make up 10-15% of the mammalian genome STRs are also called “microsatellites” STRs are “junk DNA”

26. Regions of Chromosome Analyzed for DNA Fingerprinting Often Contain STRs ACTACT Person 1 ACTACT 100 ACT repeats EcoRI Person 2 ACTACT 400 ACT repeats EcoRI EcoRI fragment from Person 2 is 900bp longer than in Person 1

29. Building a Strand of DNA DNA polymerase – enzyme that synthesizes DNA DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3´ end of a strand DNA polymerase cannot build a new strand without a primer

30. DNA Polymerase Needs a Primer 3´5´ ss DNA + Nucleotides (dNTPs) + DNA polymerase = No DNA synthesis

31. DNA Polymerase Needs a Primer 3´5´ ss DNA + Nucleotides (dNTPs) + DNA polymerase = DNA synthesis 5´3´ primer

32. DNA Polymerase Needs a Primer 3´5´ ss DNA + Nucleotides (dNTPs) + DNA polymerase = DNA synthesis 5´ primer

33. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

34. Collect Tissue Sample How to do DNA Fingerprinting The Big Picture >1000 cells RFLP / Southern blotPCR Analysis >20 cells

35. PCR Purpose – Quickly make many copies of a region of a DNA molecule Method – Multiple rounds of DNA replication Components in PCR reaction – Target DNA, nucleotides, DNA polymerase, and primers Temperature cycling – DNA replication controlled by temperature…

36. Temperature Cycling in PCR Temperature cycling – PCR process uses a machine (thermocycler) in which PCR reaction goes through ~30 cycles of three different temperature changes: ~95ºC – Melting temperature 50-65ºC – Annealing temperature 72ºC – Extension temperature

37. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis 1). primers are designed to flank the region to be amplified in target DNA 2). primers are annealed to denatured DNA 3). DNA is synthesized using Taq polymerase (from Thermus aquaticus) 4). primers are annealed again and the process is repeated through 20-30 cycles, geometrically amplifying the target sequence 5). DNA is analyzed by gel electrophoresis 1). 2). 3).
