GENE
• Part of DNA that can translate into a protein –Gene• Transcription : A,C,T,G -> A,C,U,G • RNA – mRNA , tRNA, rRNA• Every 3 bases in mRNA form a codon and codes for specific
amino acid• Every 3 bases in tRNA has specific anticodon that binds to
specific codon.• rRNA is a component of ribosome, helps in translation

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic genes
![Page 7: CELL](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56813aab550346895da2a464/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The DifferenceProkaryotes• Continuous stretch of genes• Transcribed mRNA is directly translated by ribosomes
Eukaryotes• Mix of introns and exons• Post transcriptional changes• Each gene has its own transcriptional control

GENE PREDICTION
• In Prokaryotes genes can be identified using ORFs• In Eukaryotes genes can be identified by Hidden Markov
models (HMMs) for gene finding : GeneMark,GeneMark.hmm, GLIMMER,GRAIL, GenScan / GenomeScan, etc.

Biotechnology• It harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop
technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet.
• Using Biotechnology we can fetch information of various activities at cellular level, such as genetic disorder, gene regulation, protein -protein interactions, protein functions etc.

DNA HYBRIDISATION
![Page 12: CELL](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56813aab550346895da2a464/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why Polymerase Chain Reaction • PCR can make billions of copies of a target sequence of DNA
in a few hoursCycle of PCR steps• DNA denaturation at 95 degrees C.• Primer annealing at 50-60 degrees C.• DNA polymerization by a thermostable DNA polymerase at 72
degrees C.Applications• Forensic medicine.• Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).• Archeology.• Paternity testing.

Why Gene expression analysis
Changes to the cell’s internal or external environment can lead to changes in gene expression.
Most human diseases manifest through a mis-regulation of gene expression
Techniques Used to Detect Gene Expression Level • Microarray (single or dual channel)• SAGE• EST/cDNA library• Northern Blots• Subtractive hybridisation• Differential hybridisation• Representational difference analysis (RDA)• DNA/RNA Fingerprinting (RAP-PCR)• Differential Display (DD-PCR)• aCGH: array CGH (DNA level)

PPIs are involved in many biological processes:• Signal transduction
• Protein complexes or molecular machinery
• Protein carrier
• Protein modifications (phosphorylation)
PPIs help to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying the biological functions, and enhance the approaches for drug discovery
High throughput experimental methods for discovering PPIs Yeast-two-hybrid Affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry (AP-MS)

Why protein-protein interactions (PPI)?

PATHWAYS A metabolic pathway is a series of chemical reactions occurring within a
cell, catalyzed by enzymes, and resulting in either the formation of a metabolic product to be used or stored by the cell, or the initiation of another metabolic pathway.
Networks of metabolite feedback pathways regulate gene and protein expression,
also can mediate signaling between organisms.
