Gen201-What is DNA? by Sandra Adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt Introduction to genetics en-us 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC hello@padlet.com There is still much that we do not know about the genome and gene expression. And there are many ethical questions that must be considered when sequencing a human. sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167854 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167854 With the use of genome sequencing, we are understanding how all life on Earth is related. Let's explore the Tree of Life and see how we are all related sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167856 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167856 Exome sequencing (WES or WXS) is the technique used to sequence the genes that expressed. This is helping doctors diagnosis diseases caused by genetic mutations. sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167861 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167861 Based on genomic data, this what we think the human migration pattern looks like sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167865 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167865 Whole genome sequencing is helping us understand human migration. As our techniques become more powerful, we are able sequence DNA from material that we previously couldn't sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167868 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167868 Genome sequencing can tell us how every species is related on Earth, but not every gene is expressed all the time or in the same way in every individual. sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167871 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167871 So if mtDNA is inherited through the female chromosomes, what is Y-Line-DNA? sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167873 After you watch the video, can you guess how X-Line-DNA is inherited?]]> 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167873 What are the different types of inherited DNA? sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167876 We inherit many different types of DNA from our parents, but what are they and what can they tell us about ourselves?
Let's investigate mtDNA

How did he figure out that trait were inherited from parents and not just randomly obtained? sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167881 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167881 What about the whole genome? sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167884 Can we obtain the same information about ourselves from sequencing some DNA as the whole genome? How can we do this?]]> 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167884 Let's look at how all of these molecules work inside a cell sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167887 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167887 Chromosomes hadn't been discovered when Mendel was studding pea plants, but we now know that the patterns he saw are inherited on macro-molecules called DNA. DNA is the blueprint for everything that is living on Earth. sandye_adams https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167890 2017-07-21 04:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sandye_adams/tah52oe1ojxt/wish/179167890
