The essential characteristic of Molecular Genetics is that
gene products are studied through the genes that
encode them. This contrasts with a biochemical
approach, in which the gene products themselves are
purified and their activities studied in vitro.

• Genetic heterogeneity
This is the term used to describe a condition which may

Tuberous sclerosis again provides a good example of
this, the identical disease is produced by mutations in
either of two unrelated genes, TSC1 on chromosome 9
or TSC2 on chromosome 16. In such cases, presumably
both genes act at different points in the same
biochemical or regulatory pathway. Or perhaps one
provides a ligand and one a receptor.
• variable expressivity
The degree to which a disease may manifest itself can
be very variable and, once again, tuberous sclerosis
provides a good example. Some individuals scarcely
have any symptoms at all whereas others are severely
affected. Sometimes very mild symptoms may be
overlooked and then a person may be wrongly classified
as non-affected. Clearly this could have profound
implications for genetic counselling.

• Uniparental disomy
Although it is not possible to make a viable human
embryo with two complete haploid sets of chromosomes
from the same sex parent it is sometimes possible that
both copies of a single chromosome may be inherited
from the same parent (along with no copies of the
corresponding chromosome from the other parent.) Rare
cases of cystic fibrosis (a common autosomal recessive
disease) have occurred in which one parent was a
heterozygous carrier of the disease but the second
parent had two wild type alleles. The child had received
two copies of the mutant chromosome 7 from the carrier
parent and no chromosome 7 from the unaffected
parent.

106
Molecular Biology and Applied Genetics
Euchromatin
Euchromatin is threadlike, delicate.
It is most abundant in active, transcribing cells.
Thus, the presence of euchromatin is significant
because the regions of DNA to be transcribed or
duplicated must uncoil before the genetic code can
be read.
Euchromatin stains weakly and is more open (less
condensed).
Euchromatin remains dispersed (uncondensed)
during Interphase, when RNA transcription occurs.
As the cell differentiates, the proportion of
heterochromatin to euchromatin increases, reflecting
increased specialization of the cell as it matures.

LINKAGE
Specific learning objectives
At the end of this chapter, students are expected
to
⇒ describe methods used for analysis of
linkage
⇒ explain the mechanism underlying
linkage
⇒ describe role of Linkage in genetic make
up
⇒ describe how linkage between genes or between
genes and markers can be established in human
populations
⇒ discuss risk assessment of X-linked recessive,
autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant
disorders using linked markers.
⇒ discuss the limitations of a marker analysis.
⇒ describe genetic recombination and discuss its
effects on genetic analysis and testing.
125
Molecular Biology and Applied Genetics
6.0. Introduction
Linkage occurs when genes are on the same
chromosome. When genes occur on the same
chromosome, they are inherited as a single unit.
Genes inherited in this way are called Linked.
Genes are located on specific regions of a certain
chromosome, termed the gene locus (plural: loci). A
gene therefore is a specific segment of the DNA
molecule.
Linkage groups are invariably the same number as
the pairs of homologous chromosomes an organism
possesses. Recombination occurs when crossing-
over has broken linkage groups, as in the case of
the genes for wing size and body color that Morgan
studied.
Chromosome mapping was originally based on the
frequencies of recombination between alleles.

PEDIGREE ANALYSIS
Specific learning objectives
145
Molecular Biology and Applied Genetics
7.1. Introduction
A pedigree is a diagram of family relationships that uses
symbols to represent people and lines to represent
genetic relationships. These diagrams make it easier to
visualize relationships within families, particularly large
extended families. Pedigrees are often used to
determine the mode of inheritance (dominant, recessive,
etc.) of genetic diseases.

They are only around for a few minutes.
Continuous synthesis of protein requires a
continuous synthesis of mRNA. This helps the
prokaryotic cell respond quickly to a fluctuating
environment and fluctuating needs.
The mRNA of prokaryotic cells is polycistronic (one
transcript can code for several different proteins).
In eukaryotic cells
The mRNA are stable for 4-24 hrs.
The mRNA of eukaryotic cells is monocistronic
(each transcript only encodes a single protein)

The trp operon (see Fig 10.2. below) encodes the genes
for the synthesis of tryptophan. This cluster of genes,
like the lac operon, is regulated by a repressor that
binds to the operator sequences. The activity of the trp
repressor for binding the operator region is enhanced
when it binds tryptophan; in this capacity, tryptophan is
known as a corepressor. Since the activity of the trp
repressor is enhanced in the presence of tryptophan,
the rate of expression of the trp operon is graded in
response to the level of tryptophan in the cell.

are various things that one can do with the DNA that has
been transferred to a recipient cell. Note that the
transferred DNA may be from the same species or from
a different species than the recipient. Such successfully
transferred DNA is said to be cloned.

I. Nulease
There are two types of nucleases.
A. Exonucleases -
- Cleaves nucleotide one at a time from the end of
a nucleic acid
B. Endonucleases
- Cleaved bonds within a contiguous molecule of
nucleic acid.
1. Restriction enzymes
- Endonucleases:- cleave dsDNA,
- do not cleave ssDNA or RNA
- Each recognizes a specific nucleotide sequence,
often palindromic.
Palindromic is a state where both strands have the
same nucleotide sequence but in anti-parallel directions
1. 6- cutters - recognize 6 nucleotide sequences
- less frequent sites within DNA, in 4100bp
e.g. Bamtel Gl GATCC
EcoRI GlAA TTC
2. 4- cutters - recognize 4 nucleotide sequences
- More frequent, in 256bp
e.g- Sau3A GATC,
Haelll GGCC

337
Molecular Biology and Applied Genetics
3. Joining DNA
Donor DNA and vector DNA are digested with the same
restriction enzyme and mixed in a test tube in order to
allow the ends to join to each other and form
recombinant DNA. At this stage the sugar-phosphate
backbones are still not complete at two positions at each
junction.

II. Manipulation
Directed manipulation of DNA sequences (via synthetic
DNA) are the preferred route to modifying protein and
RNA sequences as well. Since production of RNA is
primarily in vitro cloning of the variant DNA sequences is
usually not required.
III. Selections
The ability to generate large populations of molecules of
different sequence coupled with a method for linking
their replication to their ability to function creates new
opportunities to identify functional molecules that may
never have arisen in nature. Comparing these novel
macromolecules to each other and to their natural
counterparts may enable us to overcome the limitations
imposed by the patchy, historical sampling of possible
sequences which occurred during evolution and achieve
new insights on the rules underlying the function of
proteins and nucleic acids.

D. Cassette mutagenesis
A double strand synthetic DNA cassette with
ends complimentary to existing restriction sites is
required.
E. Combinatorial mutagenesis
With either technology, mixtures of DNA bases can
replace pure solutions at selected positions in the
sequence to be synthesized. The result is a
population of individual molecules, each with a
different sequence. Upon transformation of E. coli
individual DNA molecules give rise to pure clones. In
this way many different variants can be obtained in a
single experiment. If the randomization was such
that small number of variants are expected

The dideoxy method gets its name from the critical role
played by synthetic nucleotides that lack the -OH at the
3′ carbon atom (red arrow). A dideoxynucleotide
(dideoxythymidine triphosphate — ddTTP — is the one
shown here) can be added to the growing DNA strand
but when it is, chain elongation stops because there is
no 3′ -OH for the next nucleotide to be attached to. For
this reason, the dideoxy method is also called the chain
termination method.

end will appear. In PAGE, the shortest fragments will
migrate the farthest. Therefore, the bottom-most band
indicates that its particular dideoxynucleotide was added
first to the labeled primer.

Biological Evidence
FBI and police labs around the U.S. have begun to use
DNA fingerprints to link suspects to biological evidence -
blood or semen stains, hair, or items of clothing - found
at the scene of a crime. Since 1987, hundreds of cases
have been decided with the assistance of DNA
fingerprint evidence.
436
Molecular Biology and Applied Genetics
Personal Identification
Because every organ or tissue of an individual contains
the same DNA fingerprint, the U.S. armed services have
just begun a program to collect DNA fingerprints from all
personnel for use later, in case they are needed to
identify casualties or persons missing in action. The
DNA method will be far superior to the dogtags, dental
records, and blood typing strategies currently in use.

TRANSCRIPTION/TRANSLATION REACTION - An in
vitro series of reactions, involving the
synthesis (transcription) of an mRNA from a
plasmid (usually with T7 or SP6 RNA
polymerase), followed by use of the mRNA to
program translation in a cell-free system
such as a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The
polypeptide product of translation in usually
labelled with [35S]-methionine, and
examined in an SDS-PAGE gel with or
without prior immunoprecipitation. This series
of reactions permits the synthesis of a
polypeptide from DNA in vitro.
