Sample text
A common method for staining chromosomes to obtain a banding pattern is the use of a Giemsa dye mixture that results in so-called ‘G-bands’ via the ‘G-staining’ method. These G-bands serve as signposts on the chromosome highway to help determine where a particular DNA sequence or gene is located compared to other DNA markers. The differences in chromosome size and banding patterns allow the 24 chromosomes (22 autosomes and X and Y) to be distinguished from one another, an analysis called a karyotype.
Nomenclature for DNA markers The nomenclature for DNA markers is fairly straightforward. If a marker is part of a gene or falls within a gene, the gene name is used in the designation. For example, the short tandem repeat (STR) marker TH01 is from the human tyrosine hydroxylase gene located on chromosome 11. The ‘01’ portion of TH01 comes from the fact that the repeat region in question is located within intron 1 of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene. Sometimes the prefix HUM- is included at the beginning of a locus name to indicate that it is from the human genome.
Information in DNA is stored based on the order of nucleotides, genes, and chromosomes. 1 provides a simple comparison of how information is stored in both printed text and genetic formats. DNA has two primary purposes: (1) to make copies of itself so cells can divide and carry the same information; and (2) to carry instructions on how to make proteins so cells can build and maintain the machinery of life. Information encoded within the DNA structure itself is passed on from generation to generation with one-half of a person’s DNA information coming from his or her mother and one-half coming from his or her father.
