Concept explainers

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.

Evidence [see P. G. Shiels, A. J. Kind, K. H. Campbell, et al. (1999),“Analysis of telomere lengths in cloned sheep,” Nature 399, 316–317] suggests that Dolly may have been genetically older than heractual age. As mammals age, the chromosomes in somatic cells tendto shorten from the telomeres. Therefore, older individuals haveshorter chromosomes in their somatic cells than do younger ones.When researchers analyzed the chromosomes in the somatic cells of Dolly when she was about 3 years old, the lengths of her chromosomeswere consistent with those of a sheep that was significantlyolder, say, 9–10 years old. (Note: As described in the chapter, thesheep that donated the somatic cell that produced Dolly was 6 yearsold, and her mammary cells had been grown in culture for severalcell doublings before one of the cells was fused with an oocyte.)A. Suggest an explanation why Dolly’s chromosomes seemedolder than they should have been.B. Let’s suppose that a female sheep (like Dolly), which…
