现代科学认为,疾病的发生直接或间接与基因有关 经典单基因病 人类疾病都是:“基因病”多基因病 获得性基因病。经典单基因病:主要病因是某个基因位点上产生

Similarity of regulation between eukaryotes and prokaryote 1. Principles are the same: signals, activators and repressors, recruitment and allostery, cooperative binding 2. Expression of a gene can be regulated at the similar steps, and the initiation of transcription is the most pervasively regulated step

第七章 RNA Processing In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, primary RNA transcripts undergo various alteration or processing events to become mature rNAs The three commonest types are: 1, nucleotide removal by nucleases 2. nucleotide addition to the 5-or 3-end 3. nucleotide modification on the base or the sugar

Gene clusters are formed by duplication and divergence Sequence divergence is the basis for the evolutionary clock Pseudogenes are dead ends of evolution Unequal crossing-over rearranges gene clusters Genes for rRNA form tandem repeats ( The repeated genes for rRNA maintain constant sequence) Crossover fixation could maintain identical repeats Satellite DNAs often lie in heterochromatin Arthropod satellites have very short identical repeats Mammalian satellites consist of hierarchical repeats Minisatellites are useful for genetic mapping
