Evoluzione questa sconosciuta
Evoluzione cosa significa?
in italiano: processo graduale attraverso il quale qualcosa si
trasforma in altra piu’ complessa e/o migliore . E’ spesso
considerato sinonimo di sviluppo.
in biologia: cambiamenti nel pool genomico di una popolazione che nel
corso delle generazioni, attraverso l’azione del caso e della selezione
naturale portano alla nascita di nuove specie
quindi non c’e’ un tendere verso qualcosa di migliore. Questo e’ quello
che ha disturbato e continua a disturbare molti.

Il genoma umano
Quanti geni nell’uomo?

Completamento della
sequenza del genoma umano
cosa ci dice?
Il numero di geni stimato nel genoma umano ~30.000 intesi come sequenze
codificanti per proteine
SNP’s:Eterozigosi media per il DNA genomico umano: ~0,0037
(0,37%). Cio’ significa che in due alleli circa 1:250-1:1000 basi sono
diverse
microsatelliti: variazioni di lunghezza del DNA identificabili
PCR....

Lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (LPH) enzyme
hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose
LPH declines rapidly after weaning.
However, some individuals maintain the ability to digest
milk and other dairy products into adulthood.

… Finally, the high level of instability at the alpha-globin locus
contrasts with the rarity in most populations of chromosomes
carrying duplications or deletions, pointing to strong selective
constraints that maintain alpha-globin gene copy number in
human populations.

Structure of Chromosomal Duplicons and their Role in
Mediating Human Genomic Disorders
Genome Research Vol. 10, Issue 5, 597 -610, May 2000
Analysis of long stretches of available sequence from human chromosomes 22
and X suggest that 5% -10% of the genome may be duplicated (Mazzarella and
Schlessinger 1998; Dunham et al. 1999). Sequence homology between duplicated
DNA segments provides a chance for misalignment during meiosis, leading to
unequal exchange and chromosome rearrangement, by either inter - or
intrachromosomal or sister chromatid homologous recombination.
This process with divergence between duplicated segments
is essential to the generation of diversity and new genes
over evolutionary time, although the more typical, shortterm effect is genetic disease.
