And it prevents them from forming those chains, those mitotic spindles, that are necessary to pull the
genetic
material into the daughter cells.
And not only do these
genetic
males mate with other males, they actually have the capacity to lay eggs even though they're
genetic
males.
One thing that I think is a very surprising and strange thing is just how low the
genetic
diversity of sharks is.
Before 2006, we had no idea of the
genetic
variability of basking sharks.
And it's thought maybe it was a
genetic
bottleneck, thought to have been 12,000 years ago, and this has caused a very low diversity.
They found that there was no
genetic
differentiation between any of the world's oceans of basking sharks: even though they're found throughout the world, you couldn't tell the difference, genetically, from one from the Pacific, Atlantic, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa.
So, where do you get samples from for your
genetic
analysis?
Geneticists have developed a similar tool called
genetic
barcoding.
And in 1992, I participated in a
genetic
study, and found to my horror, as you can see from the slide, that my ascending aorta was not in the normal range, the green line at the bottom.
I'm an archeological geneticist at the Center for Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich, and I study the origins and evolution of human health and disease by conducting
genetic
research on the skeletal and mummified remains of ancient humans.
The most important health challenges today are not caused by simple mutations in our genome, but rather result from a complex and dynamic interplay between
genetic
variation, diet, microbes and parasites and our immune response.
And so what my team of researchers, what we wanted to do, is say, can we apply
genetic
and proteomic technology to go after DNA and proteins, and from this can we get better taxonomic resolution to really understand what's going on?
So what started out as an idea, is now being implemented to churn out millions of sequences that we can use to investigate the long-term evolutionary history of human health and disease, right down to the
genetic
code of individual pathogens.
We now know that viruses make up the majority of the
genetic
information on our planet, more than the
genetic
information of all other forms of life combined.
So basically we had automobiles, but we were unaware of the forms of life that make up most of the
genetic
information on our planet.
The first thing we would see is a tremendous amount of
genetic
information.
We know it's not anything that we've seen before; it's sort of the equivalent of an uncharted continent right within our own
genetic
information.
If you think 20 percent of
genetic
information in your nose is a lot of biological dark matter, if we looked at your gut, up to 40 or 50 percent of that information is biological dark matter.
And while the hypotheses for explaining the existence of biological dark matter are really only in their infancy, there's a very, very exciting possibility that exists: that buried in this life, in this
genetic
information, are signatures of as of yet unidentified life.
A little over a hundred years ago, people were unaware of viruses, the forms of life that make up most of the
genetic
information on our planet.
Well, autism is the most strongly
genetic
condition of all developmental disorders.
In fact, we believe there are going to be something between 300 and 600 genes associated with autism, and
genetic
anomalies, much more than just genes.
I click on chimpanzee, and I get our closest
genetic
relative.
Engineers, by moving around a small number of
genetic
changes, were able to weaponize it and make it much more easy for human beings to catch, so that not thousands of people would die, but tens of millions.
So, this guy, with all the cells in his body, all have the same
genetic
information.
It has the
genetic
information.
Now, how did these cells, all with the same
genetic
material, make all those tissues?
Now, ballet requires an extraordinary level of expertise and a high level of skill, and probably a level of initial suitability that may well have a
genetic
component to it.
We are all different, and a disease that I might have, if I had Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, it probably would affect me differently than if one of you had that disease, and if we both had Parkinson's disease, and we took the same medication, but we had different
genetic
makeup, we probably would have a different result, and it could well be that a drug that worked wonderfully for me was actually ineffective for you, and similarly, it could be that a drug that is harmful for you is safe for me, and, you know, this seems totally obvious, but unfortunately it is not the way that the pharmaceutical industry has been developing drugs because, until now, it hasn't had the tools.
But imagine a different scenario, where we could have had an array, a genetically diverse array, of cardiac cells, and we could have actually tested that drug, Vioxx, in petri dishes, and figured out, well, okay, people with this
genetic
type are going to have cardiac side effects, people with these
genetic
subgroups or
genetic
shoes sizes, about 25,000 of them, are not going to have any problems.
