Week 4 Discussion
"Synthetic chromosomes, Transcriptomes, and Patents on BRCA genes"
This week
is all about our DNA and genes. For your primary post, respond to one of
the following three topics. Also, please reply to at least one fellow student
on any topic.
Topic 1 [videos]: Its parent was a computer file. Watch the short video about organism with the
synthetic chromosome that was created at the Craig Venter Institute (1)* and
the video about the “streamlined” version that organism(2)*.
Subsequently, answer the following:
·
- (a)
How does the DNA in the synthetic organisms differ from DNA in
naturally-occurring microorganisms?
- (b)
What do you think we’ve learned from these experiments?
- (c) In your opinion, what are the inherent risks of this research to human health or to the environment, if any?
-
Topic 2 [article]: Transcriptomes. The complete set of all DNA in a cell is called the genome. The complete set of all the mRNA in a cell is called the transcriptome. Read the following article about the transcriptome (1)*, then address the following:
- (a)
What does the transcriptome tell us that we can’t get from the
genome?
- (b)
Explain how this concept relates to our lesson on gene expression from
Chapter 7.
