Исследование индивидуальных генов дало глубочайшее преимущество практически во всех аспектах биологии, начиная с болезней и наследственности, до сельского хозяйства и эволюции. Однако, ответы на многие вопросы о том, как гены работают и развиваются, могут быть даны только на основе изучения всей ДНК организма его генома вместе в целом. Исследование полных геномов известно, как геномика.Это включает в себя рассмотрение последовательностей полных геномов для изучения их организации, функции, регулирования, и эволюции. Геномика находится на пересечении генетики, молекулярной биологии, и вычислительных наук. После того, как структура ДНК была определена в 1953 году, научные работники начали разработку методов секвенирования индивидуальных генов.Важный прорыв в секвенировании ДНК произошёл в 1977 году, когда Фредерик Сангер разработал метод, позволяющий секвенировать геномы полностью. Это привело к секвенированию геномов пекарских дрожжей и фруктовой мухи с помощью секвенирования методом дробовика. Проект Человеческий геном"который начался в 1990 году и включал 13 лет изучений, 2.7 миллиардов долларов, и международные усилия, и привёл к успешному секвенированию первого генома человека в 2003 году.Успех этого проекта вёл к инновациям в технологиях секвенирования, и геном человека теперь можно секвенировать за день, менее чем за тысячу долларов. Большое количество генерированных данных привело к появлению области биоинформатики, которая сочетает математические и компьютерные методы организации, анализа и сравнения огромных объёмов геномных данных. Геномика сейчас является центральным компонентом индивидуального медицинского подхода, например, при лечении рака, и продолжает играть ключевую роль в областях, как антропология, эволюция, криминалистика, сельское хозяйство, и многие другие.

Геномика

Genomics

Геномика - это наука о геномах: это изучение всего генетического материала организма. У человека геном состоит из информации, содержащейся в 23 парах хромосом в ядре, а также из митохондриальной ДНК. В геномике секвенируется и анализируется как кодирующая, так и некодирующая ДНК. Геномика позволяет лучше понять все живые существа, их эволюцию и разнообразие. Он имеет множество применений: например, для создания филогенетических деревьев, для повышения продуктивности и устойчивости сельскохозяйственных культур, для помощи в расследовании уголовных преступлений, для выявления генов, связанных с болезнями, или для нацеливания оптимального лечения онкологических больных. 

 За последние 30 лет произошли значительные технологические достижения в области секвенирования ДНК, в частности, благодаря усилиям международного проекта Human Genome Project. Сейчас существует технология, позволяющая секвенировать 60 миллиардов оснований ДНК, что в 20 раз превышает размер человеческого генома. Имея такое обилие информации и больших данных, компьютерные ученые и биоинформатики работают рука об руку с биологами, чтобы собирать, хранить и анализировать результаты секвенирования ДНК, обеспечивая при этом безопасный доступ к данным. 

 Успех геномики открыл путь для других крупномасштабных методов исследования биологических систем в целом. Геномные исследования теперь могут быть выполнены другими «омиками». исследования с целью сбора данных о живых множествах на всех уровнях: виды, популяции, особи, клетки, белки, РНК, ДНК. Транскриптомика - это исследование того, как общая экспрессия генов изменяется в различных экспериментальных или патологических условиях. Протеомика - это изучение всех белков, составляющих организм или систему. Метаболомика - это изучение всех метаболитов (сахара, жиров, других молекул), содержащихся в данной биологической системе, и их взаимодействия. Не отделимый от биоинформатики, «омикс»; позволяют получить глобальный взгляд на сложные жилые комплексы в их среде и, таким образом, прокладывать путь к персонализированной медицине.

ОСНОВНЫЕ ТЕРМИНЫ И ПОНЯТИЯ

genomics and dna sequencing

Genomics studies the full set of genetic material in an organism. In humans, that genome includes the DNA carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, along with mitochondrial DNA. Genomics looks at both coding DNA and non-coding DNA, which helps scientists study how living things are built and how they differ.

This field is useful in many areas of biology and medicine. Scientists use genomics to build phylogenetic trees, improve crop productivity and sustainability, help with criminal investigations, find genes linked to disease, and support better cancer treatment choices. It also gives researchers a clearer view of evolution and biological diversity.

DNA sequencing has changed genomics over the past 30 years. Major progress came from the international Human Genome Project, which helped drive faster and more powerful sequencing methods. Today, technology can sequence about 60 billion DNA bases, or around 20 times the size of a human genome.

That amount of data requires bioinformatics, the use of computers to manage and study biological information. Computer scientists and bioinformaticians work with biologists to collect, store, analyze, and secure DNA sequencing results. Their teamwork makes it possible to handle large-scale genomic data.

Genomics also led to other large-scale &quot;omics&quot; studies. Transcriptomics examines how gene expression changes under different experimental or disease conditions. Proteomics studies all the proteins in an organism or system, and metabolomics studies the metabolites, such as sugars, fats, and other molecules, and how they interact.

Together, these omics fields give a broad view of living systems at the level of species, populations, individuals, cells, proteins, RNA, and DNA. Because they rely on bioinformatics, they help scientists understand complex biology in context. They also support the growth of personalized medicine.

what is genetic engineering?

How Scientists Edit DNA for New Traits

Genetic engineering changes an organism’s DNA to add useful traits. Scientists use it in bacteria, plants, animals, and even viruses for research, medicine, agriculture, and industry. It can bring major benefits, but it also raises ethical concerns about humans and the food supply. This work is possible because DNA has the same basic structure and genetic code across life. That shared code lets scientists modify DNA in several ways. One method is CRISPR/Cas9, often called molecular scissors,...

dna isolation

Steps in DNA Extraction

DNA extraction is the process of removing and purifying DNA from cells. It is used in many biotechnology and research applications, including molecular cloning. The main goal is to free DNA from the cell and prepare it for later study or use. The first step is cell lysis, which means breaking cells open. Researchers may use a homogenizer, sonicator, or bead beater to physically lyse the cells. They also often add detergent to chemically disrupt the lipid-based cell membranes. This helps...

recombinant dna technology

Recombinant DNA in Cloning and GMOs

Recombinant DNA is made by joining DNA from different sources in the lab. Scientists often use it to clone genes and study them in cells that are easy to handle, such as bacteria. Organisms that carry recombinant DNA are called genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. This technology gives scientists new tools for research, medicine, and agriculture. To build recombinant DNA, researchers place a gene of interest into a vector, which is a DNA carrier that moves foreign DNA into a host cell. The...

PCR Cycle for DNA Amplification

PCR is a laboratory method for making many copies of a DNA segment. It can turn a small amount of DNA into millions or even billions of copies in just a few hours. The process uses a heat-resistant DNA polymerase inside a machine called a thermocycler. PCR was developed by Kary Mullis in 1983, and he received the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for it. The method is fast, relatively inexpensive, and precise. It has become useful for molecular cloning, gene mutagenesis, pathogen detection, gene...

complementary dna

From mRNA to cDNA for Gene Studies

Complementary DNA, or cDNA, is made from messenger RNA (mRNA) so scientists can study which genes are active in cells and tissues. Only genes that are transcribed into mRNA are expressed. By extracting mRNA from cells, researchers can compare gene expression across samples. cDNA is produced by reverse transcription. This process copies mRNA into DNA, which is useful because mRNA does not contain introns, or non-coding regions, and other regulatory sequences. As a result, cDNA can help...

antibiotic selection

Antibiotic Resistance in Cloning

Antibiotic resistance genes help scientists find bacteria that took up a plasmid with a gene of interest. In genetic engineering, this resistance is used as a marker, not just as a medical concern. The same process also connects to the growing problem of resistant bacteria in the real world. Antibiotics, such as penicillin, stop bacterial growth or kill bacteria. When bacteria naturally have, or are engineered to carry, an antibiotic resistance gene, the antibiotic no longer works on them.

transgenic organisms

Creating Transgenic Plants and Animals

Transgenic organisms are genetically engineered to carry a transgene, which is a gene from a different species, in their genome. The inserted gene may be a new gene for that organism or a different version of one it already has. Scientists usually make transgenes with recombinant DNA and DNA cloning methods. Researchers use transgenic bacteria, plants, and animals to answer biological questions and to build useful tools. To make a transgenic organism, they first choose a transgenesis method,...

in-vitro mutagenesis (gene knockouts)

Knockout Mice and Gene Replacement

Knockout mice help researchers study gene function by showing what happens when a gene is turned off. These engineered animals are also useful for modeling human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes. A specific gene can be targeted by using a targeting vector, which is a piece of engineered DNA that replaces the normal gene and inactivates it. The vector has matching DNA sequences on both ends. These homologous sequences let the vector swap in for the target gene through...

crispr

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing in Action

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that lets scientists change DNA at a specific location. It can add, remove, or rearrange genetic material. Researchers study it because it may help treat genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, and Cas9 is a CRISPR-associated protein 9. The basic system includes a Cas9 endonuclease, which is an enzyme that cuts DNA, and a small RNA that guides Cas9 to the...

gene therapy

Gene Delivery for Serious Diseases

Gene therapy is a technique used to treat serious disease by adding a gene to a person’s cells. The added gene may be a healthy copy of a mutated gene. It may also be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the disease-causing gene. One example is severe combined immunodeficiency, or SCID, caused by a mutation in the gene for adenosine deaminase. In that case, a working copy of the gene can be inserted so the patient’s cells make the enzyme again. This can cure the disease in some...

embryonic stem cells

How Embryonic Stem Cells Become Specialized

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that have not yet specialized. Pluripotent means they can give rise to many different cell types in the body. Because of this, they are useful in science and medicine for making cells needed in research or for replacing cells lost to damage or disease. These cells come from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is an early embryo about 3 to 5 days after fertilization in humans. At this stage, the embryo has not yet implanted in the uterus. Human...

adult stem cells

Adult Stem Cells in the Small Intestine

Adult stem cells help maintain tissues by replacing old or damaged cells. These undifferentiated cells divide to make more stem cells or progenitor cells, which then become mature, specialized cells. Small groups of adult stem cells are found in many tissues, including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. The small intestine shows this process clearly. Its lining, called the epithelium, is renewed continuously by adult stem cells. It is also the fastest replaced tissue in the human body,...

induced pluripotent stem cells

Reprogramming Mature Cells into Stem Cells

Reprogramming mature cells into stem cells lets scientists turn specialized cells back into an unspecialized state. These cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs. Like embryonic stem cells, iPSCs are pluripotent, which means they can form all cell types. To make iPSCs, researchers start with mature cells such as skin fibroblasts or blood cells. The cells are grown in culture, and genes for several transcription factors are delivered with a viral vector. The cells then make...

reproductive cloning

Cloning Animals with SCNT

Reproductive cloning can produce a genetically identical copy of an entire organism. In adult animals, this is usually done with somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT. Another way clones can form is by splitting an early embryo, which is similar to how identical twins arise naturally. In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed. This creates an enucleated egg. A somatic cell, which is any body cell that is not a sex cell, is then taken from the animal to be cloned.
