Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project Mapping The Human Genome • The goals of the Human Genome Project were to determine the nucleotide sequence of the entire human genome and map the location of every gene on each chromosome. • This information will advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human genetic disorders.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project Mapping The Human Genome, continued • Important Insights – The Human Genome Project yielded important information about human genes and proteins. – For example, there are far fewer protein-encoding human genes than once believed but far more proteins because of the complex way they are encoded.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project Mapping The Human Genome, continued • Model Species – The Human Genome Project included sequencing the genes of many model species to provide insights into gene function.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project Mapping The Human Genome, continued • Applications – Information from the Human Genome Project has been applied to medical, commercial, and scientific purposes.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project The Future of Genomics • Bioinformatics – Bioinformatics uses computers to catalog and analyze genomes.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project The Future of Genomics, continued • Proteomics – Proteomics studies the identities, structures, interactions, and abundances of an organism’s proteins.
Chapter 13 Section 2 The Human Genome Project The Future of Genomics, continued • Microarrays – DNA microarrays, two-dimensional arrangements of cloned genes, allow researchers to compare specific genes such as those that cause cancer.
Chapter 13 Section 3 Genetic Engineering Objectives • Discuss the uses of genetic engineering in medicine. • Summarize how gene therapy is being used to try to cure genetic disorders. • Discuss cloning and its technology. • Describe two ways genetic engineering has been used to improve crop plants. • Discuss environmental and ethical issues associated with genetic engineering.
Chapter 13 Section 3 Genetic Engineering Medical Applications • Genetic engineering is being used to provide therapies for certain genetic diseases.
Chapter 13 Section 3 Genetic Engineering Medical Applications, continued • Gene Therapy – Gene therapy refers to treating genetic disorders by correcting a defect in a gene or by providing a normal form of a gene. – Researchers hope that gene therapy can be used to cure genetic disorders in the future.
Chapter 13 Section 3 Genetic Engineering Medical Applications, continued • Cloning – In cloning by nuclear transfer, a nucleus from a body cell of one individual is introduced into an egg cell (without its nucleus) from another individual. – An organism identical to the nucleus donor results.
