According to recent archaeological fi ndings, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been occupied by modern humans since the Palaeolithic period. The structure of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s human populations is very complex and specifi c, due to which it is interesting for various population-genetic surveys. The population of Bos- nia and Herzegovina has been the focus of bio-anthropological and population genetics studies since the 19th century. The fi rst known bio-anthropological analyses of Bosnia-Herzegovina population were primarily based on the observation of some phenotypic traits. Later examinations included cytogenetic and DNA based molecular markers. The results of all studies which have been done up to date showed no accented genetic difference among the populations (based on geo- graphical regions) with quite high diversity within them. Human population of Bosnia and Herzegovina is closely related to other populations in the Balkans. However, there are still many interesting features hidden within the existing diver- sity of local human populations that are still waiting to be discovered and described.

  • Information for Instructor
    Using a Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism to Predict Bitter-Tasting Ability 21 INFORMATION FOR INSTRUCTOR CONCEPTS AND METHODS This laboratory can help students understand several important concepts of modern biology: • The relationship between genotype and phenotype. • The use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in predicting drug response (pharmacogenetics). • A number of SNPs are inherited together as a haplotype. • The movement between in vitro experimentation and in silico computation. The laboratory uses several methods for modern biological research: • DNA extraction and purification. • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). • DNA restriction. • Gel electrophoresis. • Bioinformatics. LAB SAFETY The National Association of Biology Teachers recognizes the importance of laboratory activities using human body samples and has developed safety guidelines to minimize the risk of transmitting serious disease. ("The Use of Human Body Fluids and Tissue Products in Biology," News & Views, June 1996.) These are summarized below: • Collect samples only from students under your direct supervision. • Do not use samples brought from home or obtained from an unknown source. • Do not collect samples from students who are obviously ill or are known to have a serious communicable disease. • Have students wear proper safety apparel: latex or plastic gloves, safety glasses or goggles, and lab coat or apron. • Supernatants and samples may be disposed of in public sewers (down lab drains). • Have students wash their hands at the end of the lab period. • Do not store samples in a refrigerator or freezer used for food. The risk of spreading an infectious agent by this lab method is much less likely than from natural atomizing processes, such as coughing or sneezing.

Although approximately 75 Evolutionary biology per cent of the world population perceives this sub- stance as intensely bitter, it is virtually tasteless for the remaining 25 per cent of the population (Kim & Bitter taste perception in Drayna 2004). This is owing to a dominant ‘taster’ allele that shows a similar frequency to the recessive Neanderthals through the ‘non-taster’ allele. PTC itself is not found in any vegetable, but chemically similar substances that analysis of the TAS2R38 produce an identical response to PTC are present in gene many plant foods (including Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli and others).

  • Abstracts of Papers Presented at the Mammalian Genetics Group
    Genet. Res., Camb. (1982), 40, pp. 99-106 gg Printed in Great Britain Abstracts of papers presented at the Mammalian Genetics Group meeting, held at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School on 26 and 27 November 1981 Are patterns of cell differentiation reflected in mammalian gene maps? BY LARS-G. LUNDIN Department of Medical and Physiological Chemistry, Biomedicum, University of Uppsala, Box 575 S-751 23, Uppsala, Sweden There are two separate types of gene homologies. New genetic material can arise by gene duplication, either by regional duplication or by tetraploidization. Both these mechanisms of gene duplication give rise to paralogous genes through subsequent divergent evolution. Thus, paralogous genes exist within a species and have a common ancestral gene. Orthologous genes are found in different species and have diverged from their common ancestral gene as part of the process of speciation and separate evolution. Linkage conservation, as reflected by orthologous chromo- somal regions, has been demonstrated for quite extensive parts of mammalian chromosomes. Three possible groups of paralogous chromosomal regions in mouse and man will be suggested. The phenomenon of differential gene silencing and its consequence for our ability to detect paralogies will be described and exemplified. It is suggested that there may be a temporal relationship between closely linked genes. This will be exemplified by genes likely to be active in cells derived from the neural crest. Thus, it seems that genes for inner ear defects in the mouse are often closely linked to coat colour genes. Some other genes clustering around pigment genes will be discussed.

However, some studies do not support this role. This review describes common factors that can influence the characterization of this phenotype including: (1) changes in taste sensitivity with increasing age; (2) gender differences in taste perception; and (3) effects of smoking and obesity. We suggest that attention to these factors during PROP screening could strengthen the associations between this phenotype and a variety of health outcomes ranging from variation in body composition to oral health and cancer risk.

Emerson, Ph.D. Amherst College, Department of Biology, P.O. Box 5000, Amherst MA 01002 USA ([email protected]) This paper introduces a lab project developed for the Summer Teachers’ Workshop in Genomics at Amherst Col- lege, and is easily tailored to the weekly format of undergraduate laboratory courses in genetics, genomics, mo- lecular biology, or evolution. The project examines single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with human taste sensitivity to the bitter compound phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). Human cheek cell DNA is amplified and sequenced using PTC-specific primers, and sequence variations in the PTC gene are correlated with taste sensitivity to PTC strips. A ‘dry lab’ version of the activity can also be done using pre-obtained DNA sequences from individuals with known PTC genotypes.

    Anthropological Genetics Anthropological genetics is a field that has been in existence since the 1960s and has been growing within medical schools and academic departments, such as anthropology and human biology, ever since. With the recent developments in DNA and computer technologies, the field of anthropological genetics has been redefined. This volume deals with the molecular revolution and how DNA markers can provide insight into the processes of evolution, the mapping of genes for complex phenotypes and the reconstruction of the human diaspora. In addition to this, there are explanations of the technological developments and how they affect the fields of forensic anthropology and population studies, alongside the methods of field investigations and their contribution to anthropological genetics. This book brings together leading figures from the field to provide an up-to-date introduction to anthropological genetics, aimed at advanced undergraduates to professionals, in genetics, biology, medicine and anthropology.
