Homologous Recombination
DNA replication: repairs accidents at replication fork
Repairs double strand DNA (dsDNA) breaks
Occurs at meiosis (cross-overs)
Occurs at other times between highly similar sequences

Gene Conversion
A special type of homologous recombination: Non-reciprocal transfer of genetic material from ‘donor’to ‘acceptor’
Initiated by double strand DNA (dsDNA) breaks
Outcome: portion of ‘donor’ sequence copied to ‘acceptor’and original ‘donor’ copy unchanged
donor acceptor
geneconversion

Gene Conversion is not uncommon
Yeast mating type switch (MAT) genes
Human repetitive sequence elements (Alu and LINE-1 sequences)*
Human gene families (e.g. MHC alleles, Rh blood group antigens, olfactory receptor genes)

Neutral theory
• Proposed to explain considerable levels of molecular variation in populations
• Majority of mutations are effectively neutral and therefore subject to drift.

Genetic drift: Changes in the allele frequencies due to effects of chance on sampling between generations
Effective population size: “the number of breeding individuals in an idealized population that would show the same amount of dispersion of allele frequences under random genetic drift as the population under consideration” (Sewall Wright)

![Page 21: Universal Genetic code table. Lecture Goals 1.Gene duplication – concerted evolution 2.Neutral theory and clocks 3.Epigenetics 2.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dd45503460f94acc6a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effective population sizeEstimate of long term ‘relevant’ size of population.

Effective population size
• A population that has experienced a bottleneck will have a lower effective population size than a population of the same census size that has been stable.
• This is because alleles are lost due to genetic drift so it is as if you have fewer individuals following bottleneck as compared to idealized population.

• Very low heterozygosity• 70% abnormal sperm and low sperm counts• Very high mortality to disease:

(vs. 10% mortality in humans from SARS)

• Let neutral mutation rate be µ (= new mutant copies of a gene per generation)

Neutral theory
• Let neutral mutation rate be µ (= new mutant copies of a gene per generation)
• In a diploid population of size 2Ne, there will be 2Neµ new
mutations at a gene per generation
• What is probability of fixation? Loss?
31
![Page 32: Universal Genetic code table. Lecture Goals 1.Gene duplication – concerted evolution 2.Neutral theory and clocks 3.Epigenetics 2.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110208/56649dd45503460f94acc6a8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Neutral theory
• Let neutral mutation rate be µ (= new mutant copies of a gene per generation)
• In a diploid population of size Ne, there will be 2Neµ new mutations at a gene per generation
• Since these mutations are neutral, the probability of eventual fixation of any one mutation is 1/2Ne, and probability of loss is 1 - (1/2Ne)
Most new neutral mutations will be lost by drift within a few generations, but occasionally a new mutation will increase infrequency and replace previously existing alleles

Epigenetics – a term to struggle with• Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene
expression that occur without a change in DNA sequence
• Epigenetics describes phenomena underlying many examples of non-Mendelian inheritance
• ‘Epigenetics has always been all the weird and wonderful things that cannot be explained by genetics’ - Denise Barlow, Vienna Austria (discovered first imprinted gene)

Maternal Effect
A. E. Boycott (1920s)– First study of maternal effect– Water snail, Limnea peregra
• Shell and internal organs either right- or left-handed

Maternal Effect
A. E. Boycott (1920s)– Began with two different true-breeding strains
• One dextral, one sinistral
– Dextral ♀ x sinistral ♂ dextral offspring– Reciprocal cross sinistral offspring– Contradict a Mendelian pattern of inheritance

Maternal Effect
A. E. Boycott (1920s); Alfred Sturtevant (1923)– Sturtevant proposed that Boycott’s results could be
explained by a maternal effect gene• Dextral (D) is dominant to sinistral (d)• Phenotype of offspring is determined by genotype of
mother

Kit Summary
• Paramutation: Kit allele transforms phenotype of offspring (white tipped tail and feet)
• Associated with build up of aberrant RNAs that are specifically packaged in sperm
• Injection of these RNAs also causes phenotype
Challenges central dogma!
