  • MOLECULAR G EN ETICS of the January, HUMAN X
    MOLECULAR GENETICS OF THE HUMAN X CHROMOSOME BY DAVID ANDREW HARTLEY a thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London January, 1984 Department of Biochemistry St. Mary's Hospital Medical School London W2 IPG 1 Abstract The comparison of frequency of recombination with chromosomal position has been possible only in Drosophila melanogaster but it is known that chiasma distribution in the human male (and many other species) is not random. A number of cloned DNA sequences have been isolated from a library enriched for X chromosome DNA by flow cytometry. The chromosomal loci complementary to these cloned sequences have been investigated by hybridization to somatic cell hybrid DNAs and by direct hybridization 1 in situ' to human metaphase spreads. In this way a cytological map of the X chromosome defined by DNA sequence markers has been constructed. Genetic distances complementary to the physical separations determined have been estimated by determining the segregation of DNA sequence variants at each locus in three generation p e d i g r e e s . The sequence variation is manifested as altered restriction fragment migration in agarose gels. It is intimated from these analyses that the pattern of recombination frequency along the human X chromosome mirrors the non-random chiasma distribution seen along male autosomes. This supports the chiasmatype theory and has implications on the availability of genetic components of the X chromosome to recombination. 2 To ray father in the hope of convincing him of life outside o f E.coli 3 ...scientists getting their kicks when deadly disease can do as it pleases results ain't hard to predict Gil Scott-Heron 4 Ack n ov; ledgements To my supervisor Bob Williamson for support.

However, the intrinsic molecular and subcellular characteristics of these oocytes have not yet been investigated. Here, we aim to identify molecular and functional markers associated with oocyte developmental potential when selected based on G6PDH activity. Immature compact cumulus–oocyte complexes were stained with brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) for 90 min. Based on K C their colouration, oocytes were divided into BCB (colourless cytoplasm, high G6PDH activity) and BCB (coloured cytoplasm, low G6PDH activity). The chromatin configuration of the nucleus and the mitochondrial activityof oocytes were determined by fluorescence labelling and photometric measurement. The abundance and phosphorylation pattern of protein kinases Akt and MAP were estimated by Western blot C K analysis.

Recent studies have combined these two types of data using different strategies, but focusing on finding gene-based relationships. However, it has been proposed that these data can be used to identify key genomic regions, which may enclose causal genes under the assumption that disease-associated gene expression changes are caused by genomic alterations. Results: Following this proposal, we undertake a new integrative analysis of genome-wide expression and copy number datasets. The analysis is based on the combined location of both types of signals along the genome. Our approach takes into account the genomic location in the copy number (CN) analysis and also in the gene expression (GE) analysis. To achieve this we apply a segmentation algorithm to both types of data using paired samples. Then, we perform a correlation analysis and a frequency analysis of the gene loci in the segmented CN regions and the segmented GE regions; selecting in both cases the statistically significant loci. In this way, we find CN alterations that show strong correspondence with GE changes.

  • Candidate Genes for Alcohol Preference Identified by Expression
    Liang et al. Genome Biology 2010, 11:R11 http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/2/R11 RESEARCH Open Access Candidate genes for alcohol preference identified by expression profiling in alcohol-preferring and -nonpreferring reciprocal congenic rats Tiebing Liang1*, Mark W Kimpel2, Jeanette N McClintick3, Ashley R Skillman1, Kevin McCall4, Howard J Edenberg3, Lucinda G Carr1 Abstract Background: Selectively bred alcohol-preferring (P) and alcohol-nonpreferring (NP) rats differ greatly in alcohol preference, in part due to a highly significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 4. Alcohol consumption scores of reciprocal chromosome 4 congenic strains NP.P and P.NP correlated with the introgressed interval. The goal of this study was to identify candidate genes that may influence alcohol consumption by comparing gene expression in five brain regions of alcohol-naïve inbred alcohol-preferring and P.NP congenic rats: amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, caudate putamen, and frontal cortex. Results: Within the QTL region, 104 cis-regulated probe sets were differentially expressed in more than one region, and an additional 53 were differentially expressed in a single region. Fewer trans-regulated probe sets were detected, and most differed in only one region. Analysis of the average expression values across the 5 brain regions yielded 141 differentially expressed cis-regulated probe sets and 206 trans-regulated probe sets. Comparing the present results from inbred alcohol-preferring vs. congenic P.NP rats to earlier results from the reciprocal congenic NP.P vs. inbred alcohol-nonpreferring rats demonstrated that 74 cis-regulated probe sets were differentially expressed in the same direction and with a consistent magnitude of difference in at least one brain region.

  • Identification and Analysis of Programmed Cell Death Genes in Drosophila Melanogaster and Human Cancer Using Biotnformatic Analysis of Gene Expression Data
    IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH GENES IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER AND HUMAN CANCER USING BIOTNFORMATIC ANALYSIS OF GENE EXPRESSION DATA by ERBSf DAEL PLEASANCE B.Sc, The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Medical Genetics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December 2005 © Erin Dael Pleasance, 2005 Abstract Programmed cell death (PCD), or cell suicide, encompasses multiple pathways including apoptosis and autophagy and is essential for development, cellular homeostasis, and prevention of cancer cell growth. I describe here the development and use of bioinformatic methods to identify and analyze genes involved in PCD, both in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster and in human cancer, by analysis of large-scale gene expression data. An approach was developed to correctly identify genes from serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) data, distinguish the set of genes not accessible to the SAGE method, and determine the optimal set of enzymes for Drosophila, C. elegans, and human SAGE library construction. In Drosophila metamorphosis the salivary gland undergoes autophagic PCD, whereby cellular components are engulfed and degraded by cytoplasmic vacuoles, with additional hallmarks of apoptosis. This is an excellent model in which to study the genes involved in PCD. Transcriptional profiling of this tissue by expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) identified many genes differentially regulated prior to cell death, including genes known to be death regulators, genes in related pathways, genes of no known function, and potentially novel unannotated genes.
