Intro 2: Last week's take home lessons

DNA 1: Today's story, logic & goals

Connecting Genotype & Phenotype

Types of phenotypic effects of mutations

Types of mutations

Mutations & Polymorphisms

Haplotypes

Linkage & Association

Pharmacogenomics Gene/Enzyme Drug Quantitative effect

DNA Diversity Databases

Causative SNPs can be in non-coding repeats

Modes of inheritance

Today's story, logic & goals

Where do allele frequencies come from?

Directional & Stabilizing Selection

Ratio of strains over environments, e , times, te , selection coefficients, se, R = Ro exp[-?sete]

Where do allele frequencies come from?

Random Genetic Drift

Role of Genetic Exchange

Common Disease – Common Variant Theory. How common?

Are rare variants responsible for susceptibility to complex diseases?

Today's story, logic & goals

One form of HIV-1 Resistance

An association test for CCR-5 & HIV resistance

But what if we test more than one locus?

How many "new" polymorphisms?

Finding & Creating mutants

Pharmacogenomics Example

Caution: phases of human genetics

Today's story, logic & goals

Examples of random & systematic errors?

Examples of random & systematic errors?

Examples of systematic errors

Whole-genome shotgun
