Now this represents the nucleus of a mosquito cell, and that tangle in the middle represents its genome, the sum total of its genes.
The
genome
is a composition of all the genetic information encoded by DNA in an organism.
Since we know the signatures of these cancer cells from all the different cancer
genome
sequencing projects, we can look for those signals in the blood to be able to detect these cancers early.
Then we use molecular biology methods to be able to enrich this DNA for areas of the
genome
which are known to be associated with cancer, based on the information from the cancer genomics projects.
We did sequence, also, one species many, many times ... human
genome.
To understand history, to understand what kind of learning process the
genome
has been through for the millions of years.
Seven years ago, I wrote an essay in "Science" to celebrate the human
genome'
s 10-year anniversary.
It started from 100 million dollars per human
genome.
Now, it's a couple hundred dollars for a human
genome.
This is the key to CRISPR’s power: just by injecting Cas9 bound to a short piece of custom guide RNA scientists can edit practically any gene in the
genome.
It’s also a powerful tool for studying the genome, allowing scientists to watch what happens when genes are turned off or changed within an organism.
From very primitive beginnings, with a very crude tool kit of stones, we now have a very advanced tool kit, and our tool use has really reached unprecedented levels: we've got buggies to Mars; we've mapped the human genome; and recently even created synthetic life, thanks to Craig Venter.
That was after we finished mapping the entire human
genome.
He asked, how big is the minimal
genome
that will give me a functioning microorganism?
Double strand again, but inside them, they're infected with a virus that has a nice, long, single-stranded
genome
that we can fold like a piece of paper.
This is part of that
genome.
And so computation is some very powerful way to reduce the number of molecules you need to build something, to reduce the size of the
genome
that you're building.
The first $200 full
genome
was announced yesterday by Veritas.
So this is what came first, how did it diversify, how did it branch, how large is that genome, on a single page.
Which is, all of us have about 10 places in our
genome
where we've lost a gene or gained another one.
If you tell me you're going to be the developer of the map of the human genome, you better know what a human
genome
is; I want you to have expertise.
And then the human
genome
said, maybe we only have 35,000 genes.
Well, let's take our own
genome
as an example.
Or maybe like the researchers at the Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, who have now developed a device that can complete human
genome
coding in just 26 hours.
One thing is, you know, you'll be hearing from a guy in the next session who said some time ago that he could sequence the human
genome
in half no time, and everyone said, "Well, it's obviously impossible."
The most important gift your mother and father ever gave you was the two sets of three billion letters of DNA that make up your
genome.
Sunlight, smoking, unhealthy eating, even spontaneous mistakes made by your cells, all cause changes to your
genome.
And children with progeria are born with a T at a single position in their
genome
where you have a C, with the devastating consequence that these wonderful, bright kids age very rapidly and pass away by about age 14.
Remarkable researchers including Emmanuelle Charpentier, George Church, Jennifer Doudna and Feng Zhang showed six years ago how CRISPR scissors could be programmed to cut DNA sequences of our choosing, including sequences in your genome, instead of the viral DNA sequences chosen by bacteria.
Cutting a DNA sequence in your
genome
also disrupts the function of the cut gene, typically, by causing the insertion and deletion of random mixtures of DNA letters at the cut site.
