2 Course Textbooks Highly recommended, but not required Biological Sequence Analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids 4 Durbin et al., Cambridge University Press Algorithms on Strings, Trees, and Sequences Gusfield, Cambridge University Press Genome-scale Algorithm Design Makinen et al., Cambridge University Press A list of other recommended books is available on the course website Intended Audience 5 This is a computer science course! The course uses mathematics and algorithms, and homework assignments and exams will include these (and assume knowledge of programming). This is NOT a programming for biologists course! This is NOT a course about how to use bioinformatics tools or databases! Students are expected to have had (or are currently taking) an algorithms course, can program, and are not afraid of math. Tentative List of Topics 6 Pairwise sequence alignment Markov chains and HMMs Pairwise alignment using HMMs Profile HMMs for sequence families Multiple sequence alignment Phylogenetic tree inference Phylogenomics Suffix trees The Burrows-Wheeler transform Read alignment Genome compression Applications from genomics, transcriptomics, and metagenomics
3 7 I teach COMP 182 immediately after this class (10:50-12:05 on TR)! So, I need to leave the classroom by 10:40. Please talk to Leo (the TA) first. 8 Questions about administrivia? 9 Background
4 Life Through Evolution 10 All living organisms are related to each other through evolution This means: any pair of organisms, no matter how different, have a common ancestor sometime in the past, from which they evolved Evolution involves inheritance, variation, and selection Life Through Evolution 11 Inheritance: passing of characteristics from parents to offsprings* Variation: process that leads to differences between parent and offspring Selection: favoring certain individuals over others doe to phenotypic differences * this is challenged by horizontal gene transfer 12 I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natural Selection. The [neutral] theory does not deny the role of natural selection in determining the course of adaptive evolution, but it assumes that only a minute fraction of DNA changes in evolution are adaptive in nature, while the great majority of phenotypically silent molecular substitutions exert no significant influence on survival and reproduction and drift randomly through the species. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.
5 Evolution 13 The accumulation of change over time in a population Population genetics mainly focuses on evolutionary analysis of changes within populations, whereas phylogenetics is mostly aimed at inter-species relationships We will discuss later (under phylogenomics ) how these two disciplines are now coming together due to dense sampling of genomes.

The Nucleic Acid World 17 The full diversity of life on this planet from the simplest bacterium to the largest mammal is captured in a linear code inside all living cells. DNA 18 Deoxyribonucleic Acid DNA molecules are linear polymers of just four different nucleotide building blocks. Genomic DNA molecules are immensely long, containing millions of bases each, and it is the order of these bases, the nucleotide sequence or base sequence of DNA, which encodes the information for making proteins.
7 19 RNA Ribonucleic Acid RNA molecules are also linear polymers, but are much smaller than genomic DNA. Most RNA molecules also contain just four different base types. Several classes of RNA molecules are known, some of which have a small proportion of other bases. The Building Blocks of DNA and RNA The Double Helix (DNA) Watson-Crick base-pairing: A T, C G Each strand of a DNA double helix has a base sequence that is complementary to the base sequence of its partner strand.
8 22 DNA Replication * Hydrogen bonds are noncovalent bonds: the t wo DNA strands can be easily separated. * There are a number of processes in which strand separation is required. * One such process is DNA replication, which is a necessary prelude to cell division. 23 RNA Structure Almost all RNA molecules in living systems are single stranded. As a result, RNA has much more structural flexibility than DNA, and some RNAs can even act as enzymes, catalyzing a particular chemical reaction. Secondary and Tertiary Structures of RNA 24 The Tetrahymena ribozyme
9 The Central Dogma 25 A single direction of flow of genetic information from the DNA (information store), through RNA, to proteins This scheme holds for all known forms of life, with variations in the details of the processes involved in different organisms Not all genetic information in the DNA encodes proteins RNA can also be the end product, and other regions of the genome have as yet no known function of product The genomic DNA encodes all molecules necessary for life, whether they are proteins or RNA or... Transcript ion 26 (A) One strand of the DNA is involved in the synthesis of an RNA strand complementary to the strand of the DNA (B) The enzyme RNA polymerase reads the DNA and recruits the correct building blocks of RNA to string them together based on the DNA code Te rminology 27 RNA transcribed from a protein-coding gene is called messenger RNA (mrna) When a gene is being transcribed into RNA, the gene is said to be expressed
10 Overlapping Genes 28 Although only one segment of the DNA strand is transcribed for any given gene, it is also possible for genes to overlap so that one or both strands at the same location (locus) encode parts of different proteins. This most commonly occurs in viruses as a means of packing as much information as possible into their very small genomes but it could also occur in mammals (the above figure shows overlapping genes in the human genome) Regulated Gene Expression 29 The genomic DNA sequence contains more information that just the protein sequences. The transcriptional apparatus has to locate the sites where gene transcription should begin, and when to transcribe a given gene. At any one time, a cell is only expressing a few thousand of the genes in its genome. To accomplish this regulated gene expression, the DNA contains control sequences in addition to coding regions (More on this in a few slides). Translat ion 30 mrna is translated into protein according to the genetic code, which is the set of rules governing the correspondence of the base sequences in DNA or RNA to the amino acid sequence of a protein. Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three consecutive bases (codon)
11 31 The Standard Genetic Code 32 Reading Frames Translation occurs in nonoverlapping sets of three bases. There are thus three possible ways to translate any nucleotide sequence, each of which is called a reading frame These three reading frames give three different protein sequences. In the actual translation process, the detailed control signals ensure that only the appropriate reading frame is translated into protein. 33 Reading Frames
12 Gene Structure and Control 34 The regulation of many processes that interpret the information contained in a DNA sequence relies on the presence of short signal sequences in the DNA. The general term for these signal sequences is regulatory elements. For example, the molecules involved in transcription and translation require signals to identify where they should start and stop. Gene structure and control differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes Transcription Regulation 35 The control regions at which RNA polymerase binds to initiate transcription are called promoters. RNA polymerase binds more tightly to these regions than to the rest of the DNA and this triggers the start of transcription. Gene Structure in Prokaryotes 36 * Bacterial promoters typically occur immediately before the position of the transcription start site (TSS), and contain two characteristic short sequences, or motifs, that are almost the same in the promoters for different genes. * The termination of transcription is controlled by the terminator signal which in bacteria differs from the promoter is that it is active when transcribed to form the end of the mrna strand (forms a loop structure that prevents the transcription apparatus from continuing). * Single type of RNA polymerase transcribes all genes.
13 Gene Structure in Eukaryotes 37 * Regulatory elements in eukaryotes are more complex. * Three types of RNA polymerase transcribe genes: RNA polymerase II transcribes all protein coding genes, where other RNA polymerase tpyes transcribe genes for trnas, rrnas and other types of RNA Splicing of an Intron 38 * The existence of introns necessitates an extra step between transcription and translation, which is known as RNA splicing: (1) the complete gene is initially transcribed into RNA, and (2) the introns are then excised and the exons spliced together to provide a functional mrna that gives the correct protein sequence when translated. In most protein coding genes, this process is carried out by the spliceosome, which consists of small nuclear RNA (snrna) and proteins. Operon Structure 39 In bacteria, functionally related protein-coding sequences are often clustered together into operons. Each operon is transcribed as a single mrna transcript and the proteins are then separately translated from this one long molecule. This has the advantage that only one control region is required to activate the simultaneous expression of all genes in the operon. Not all bacterial genes are contained in operons; many are transcribed individually and have their own control regions.

15 Organization of the DNA 43 The genome is an organism s complete set of DNA Genomes vary widely in size some bacteria have 600,000 base pairs humans have about 3 billion base pairs Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome DNA in the human genome is arranged into 23 pairs of DNA molecules, called chromosomes (physically separate molecules, and vary widely in length) Each chromosome contains many genes 44 Gene, Locus, Allele A gene is a unit of heredity, and usually refers to a DNA sequence that encodes a protein or an RNA that has some function A locus is the specific location of a gene (or, more generally, a DNA sequence) in the genome Each of the different DNA sequences at a given locus is called an allele Available Data Databases in total (as classified at the NAR Molecular Biology Database Collection Website, 2006)
