1
New cards

molecular markers

are genes or DNA sequences controlling traits within chromosomal locations in organisms 

2
New cards

Types of molecular markers

  1. Rna based

  2. Dna sequencing 

  3. Fingerprinting 

  4. Dna and gene family dependant markers 

  5. endonuclease/restriction base

3
New cards

Applications of molecular markers:

  • Screening population of plants to identify the individuals with genes of interest at the early stage of development 

  • MPS (massively parallel sequencing) allows for the identification of an individual including age, eye color, ancestry and species

  • Detection of mutants for disease resistance 

  • Phylogenetics for molecular evolution studies 

  • DNA barcoding for species identification 

  • Paternity testing/DNA fingerprinting 

  • Mendelian inheritance (co dominant or dominant)

New cards

Bioinformatics:

Bioinformatics is the discipline of quantitative analysis of information relating to biological macromolecules with the aid of computers.

5
New cards

Compositions of bioinformatics: 

  1. Computer science

  2. Mathematics and statistics 

  3. Biology 

6
New cards

Branches of bioinformatics: 4 of them

  1. Genomics (the genome at DNA level)

  2. Proteomics (the entire protein make up or repertoire of a genome)

  3. Transcriptomics (expression of genes, cDNA)

  4. Structural genomics (determination of molecular structure via protein in genomic sequence analysis)

Aims of bioinformatics:

  • Organizes data for researchers to access existing information and to submit new entries 

  • Develops tools and resources that enhance the analyses of data

  • Uses the tools to analyze data and interpret the results in a biologically meaningful manner 

8
New cards

Types of bioinformatics databases: 

  • GenBank (nucleotide sequences)

  • Ensembl (human/mouse genome)

  • Pubmed(literature references)

  • Enzymes (enzymes)

  • PDB(protein structures)

  • OMIM (genetic sequences)

  • KEGG (metabolic pathways)

  • NR (protein sequences)

  • SWISS-PROT (protein sequences)

  • InterPro (protein domain)


9
New cards

tools of bioinformatics as well as collection and retrieval of data.
