Presentation Transcript

  1. Decoding Complex Genes Unlocking the secrets of the genome's intricacies reveals how genes direct life. Not all genes follow simple blueprints. Understanding gene interactions is key for advances in medicine.

  2. Defining Complex Genes Traditional View One gene produces one protein. Complex Genes Generate multiple transcripts and proteins. Example: Dscam Gene Drosophila's gene creates 38,016 isoforms. Overlapping Genes Increase genetic information density.

  3. Mechanisms of Complexity Alternative Splicing RNA Editing Overlapping Genes Non-coding RNAs Exons are combined in different ways. Post-transcriptional sequence modifications occur. Use different reading frames for diverse proteins. Play key regulatory roles in gene expression.

  4. Gene Interactions Epistasis One gene can mask another's effect. Regulatory Networks Genes actively control each other's expression. Human Genome Interactome Over 100,000 protein interaction connections exist. GWAS Insights Gene interactions are crucial for disease traits.

  5. Transposable Elements Jumping Genes Move and influence gene expression patterns. Genome Composition Make up 45% of the human genome. New Splice Sites Can create novel RNA splice variants. Gene Disruption Sometimes disrupt normal gene function.

  6. Epigenetics and Complex Genes DNA Methylation Histone Modification X-chromosome Inactivation Environmental Influence Silences genes without changing the DNA sequence. Alters chromatin structure to regulate expression. An example of epigenetic gene regulation. External factors affect gene expression dynamically.

  7. Clinical Relevance Cancer Gene fusions and altered splicing drive disease. Neurological Disorders Result from gene expression misregulation. Personalized Medicine Targets specific gene isoforms for therapy. Disease Variants 85% affect gene regulation, not coding regions.

  8. The Future of Complex Gene Research Advanced Sequencing Enables detailed gene variant detection. Single-Cell Analysis Reveals expression in individual cells. Gene Networks Understanding interactions guides therapies. Systems Biology Provides holistic insight into gene functions.
