The mouse provides a prospective surrogate. • Can’t do selections • Meager amounts of data Human geneticists typically rely upon statistical arguments as opposed to overwhelming amounts of data in drawing connections between genotype and phenotype. • Highly dependent on DNA-based maps and DNA-based analysis The unique advantages of human genetics: • A large population which is self-screening to a considerable degree • Phenotypic subtlety is not lost on the observer • The self interest of our species More specifically:
7.03 Lecture28-30 11/1703,11/19/03,11/21/03 Let's consider the types and frequency of polymorphisms at the dNa level in the human genome DNA polymorphisms are of many types, including substitutions, duplications, deletions types of dNa polymorphisms are of particular importance in human genetics today A locus is said to be polymorphic if two or more alleles are each present at a frequency of at least 1% in a population of animals 1)sNPs= single nucleotide polymorphisms single nucleotide substitutions In human populations Hnuc= average heterozygosity per nucleotide site =0.001 This means that, on average, at a randomly selected locus, two randomly selected human alleles chromosomes)differ at about 1 nucleotide per 1000. This implies that your maternal genome(the haploid genome that you inherited from your mother) differs from your paternal genome at about 1 nucleotide per 1000 Similarities and differences: This also implies that the genomes of any two individuals are 99.9% identical. Conversely, the genomes of two randomly selected individuals will differ at several million nucleotides.(Identical twins are a notable exception
7.03 Lecture 28-30 11/17/03, 11/19/03, 11/21/03 5 Let's consider the types and frequency of polymorphisms at the DNA level in the human genome. DNA polymorphisms are of many types, including substitutions, duplications, deletions, etc. Two types of DNA polymorphisms are of particular importance in human genetics today: This means that, on average, at a randomly selected locus, two randomly selected human alleles (chromosomes) differ at about 1 nucleotide per 1000. This implies that your maternal genome (the haploid genome that you inherited from your mother) differs from your paternal genome at about 1 nucleotide per 1000. Similarities and differences: This also implies that the genomes of any two individuals are 99.9% identical. Conversely, the genomes of two randomly selected individuals will differ at several million nucleotides. (Identical twins are a notable exception.) 1) SNPs = single nucleotide polymorphisms = single nucleotide substitutions Hnuc = A locus is said to be polymorphic if two or more alleles are each present at a frequency of at least 1% in a population of animals. In human populations: average heterozygosity per nucleotide site = 0.001
