The Human Genome Project
Started ~1985
The U.S. government agreed to invest $200,000,000 U.S. per year for 20 years.
One base per second = 216 years!
~3,400,000,000 bp per haploid genome ~6,800,000,000 bp per haploid genome

Why is the human genome so large?
One base per second = 216 years!
~3,400,000 bp per haploid genome ~6,800,000 bp per haploid genome
Discussion questions:
~2% or less codes for proteins.
Why is the human genome not finished yet?

The “C-value paradox”
The genome size of an organism is defined as the amount of haploid DNA in a genomic set (e.g., an egg or sperm nucleus). This is also referred to as the "C-value"; the "C" means "constant" or "characteristic", since the size of a genome is usually constant for a given species.
The large difference in genome sizes without any seeming relation to an organism’s complexity, is called
the C-value paradox.

The approximate size and characteristics of genomes was characterised in the 1960s, in a classic study of the kinetics of DNA reassociation by Britten and Kohne (1968).
1. foldback DNA2. highly repetitive DNA
3. middle-repetitive DNA4. single-copy DNA
The repetitive DNA can either be localised to discrete regions, or dispersed.
They found that the DNA could be divided into four fractions:

Highly repetitive DNADispersed - e.g., Alu family
• about 300 bp long • 500,000 copies in humans • (about 5% of the human genome) • dispersed throughout the chromosomes
Localised highly repetitive sequences • about 2-10 bp long • present in millions of copies, often in large blocks • (about 6% of the human genome) • associated with heterochromatin • usually very high A+T content

Often, satellite DNA consists of long tandem arrays of repeated sequences, all localised to one or a few discrete regions in the chromosomes. For example, in the kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii), more than 50% of the genome consists of three families of repeated sequences:
(AAG)n, where n = ~2.24 x 10
9
(TTAGGG)n, where n = ~2.2 x 10
9
(ACACAGCGGG)n, where n = ~1.2 x 10

Middle repetitive DNA
• makes up more than 40% of the human genome
• position varies due to transposable elements
• Includes the following types of sequences:
- Dinucleotide repeats - microsatellite DNA - TRInucleotide repeats
- associated with many diseases - (e.g., Fragile X, muscular distrophy)

Theoret.Biol. 113 719 (heading) Tumor escape from immune elimination... R. J. De Beer, Bioinformatics Group,University of Utrecht. 1986 Philos. Trans. Royal Soc. A. 317 324 The area of modelling mutants from aknown structure has been revolutionized by the latest tools of molecular graphics... This is a key elementin the whole technology and has attracted much interest (for example, the recent E.E.C. ‘Bioinformatics’programme). 1987 Science 4 Sept. 1108/3 One of the latest developments [at the European MolecularBiology Laboratory] has been the creation of a new research program in bioinformatics. This is intendedto bring together research in computing science, structural biology, and molecular genetics. 1996 FastCompany Aug.-Sept. 32/3 A lot of breakthroughs in medicine will come out of the efforts of bio-informatics. 2001 N.Y. Times 4 Jan. B6/2 The hope..is to make New York a leader in cutting-edge fieldslike bioinformatics, in which computers are used to decipher genes and proteins.
The science of information and information flow in biological systems, esp. the use of computational methods in genetics and genomics.

Summary
1. A “genome” is sum of all the DNA sequences (chromosomes) in an organism.
2. The sizes of genomes range about 100,000,000 fold - from small viruses to very large amoebas.
3. Many eukaryotic genomes contain large fractions of repeated DNA sequences, and there is no apparent correlation between the size of an organism and its biological complexity (”C-value Paradox”)
4. Sequence databases are growing faster than computational power!
