Cost of Disease
•Most research in the bioscience is
motivated by hope of disease
intervention.
• Major WHO projects have tried to
tabulate the costs of different
diseases
• Genetic Diseases are diseases
where there is genetic variation in the
susceptibility.
• Even small improvements would
save many billions

De Novo Sequencing: Halted extensions or degradation

80s: From one to many: PCR – Polymerase Chain Reaction
00s: Re-sequencing: Hybridisation to complete genomes
Future Solution: One is enough!!

E - Epigenomics
T - Transcriptomics
Classical Expression Experiment:
The Gene is transcribed into pre-mRNA
Pre-mRNA is processed into mRNA
Probes are designed hybridizing to specific positions
Measures transcript levels
averaging of a set of cells.
RNA-Seq Expression Experiment: Advantages - Discoveries
More quantitative in evaluating
expression levels
More precise in positioning
Much more is transcribed than expected.
Transcription of genes very imprecise

G F
• Mechanistically predicting relationships between different data types is very difficult
• Empirical mappings are important
• Functions from Genome to Phenotype stands out in importance
G is the most abundant data form - heritable and precise. F is of greatest interest.

Set of Genotypes:

3* 107
• Diploid Genome
• In 1 individual, 3* 107 positions could segregate.
• In the complete human population 5*108 might segregate.
• Thus there could be 2500.000.00 possible genotypes
Partial Solution: Only consider functions dependent on few positions
• Causative for the trait
Classical Definitions:
• Single Locus
• Multiple Loci
Dominance
Recessive
Additive
Heterotic
Epistasis: The effect of one locus depends on the state of another
Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL). For instance sum of functions for positions plus error
term.

Heritability: Inheritance in bags, not strings.
The Phenotype is the sum of a series of
factors, simplest independently genetic and
environmental factors: F= G + E
Parents:
Relatives share a calculatable fraction of factors,
the rest is drawn from the background
population.
This allows calculation of relative
effect of genetics and environment
Heritability is defined as the relative
contribution to the variance of the genetic
factors:  G2 / F2

The path from genotype to
genotype could go through
a network and this
knowledge can be exploited

Groups of connected genes
can be grouped in a
supergene and disease

mutation in any allele will
cause the disease.
