How comes we have so few genes give that
we are so complex???
•We have many non-protein coding genes
21,710
•Our genes are longer and more complex
•Regulation of human genes activity is more
complex
•Repeats (formerly known as “junk DNA”
(yet not garbage) contribute to complexity
•Combinatorial interactions among genes
and products

How genomes evolve?
Consider two distinct possibilities:
•Genomes evolve by lots of denovo “inventions”
•Genomes evolve predominantly
by mixing and matching existings
parts

in different species reveals few

Some basic evolutionary
operations
• Mutating existing DNA
• Change gene expression profiles
• Duplications of existing material (genes,
chromosomes, genomes)
• Transfer of genes from one organism to
another
• Functionalization of “junk DNA”
• Reverse transcription??
19
Stress condition induce high DNA
replication error rate
Because most newly arising mutations are
neutral or deleterious, it has been argued
that the mutation rate has evolved to be as
low as possible, limited only by the cost of
error-avoidance and error-correction
mechanisms. But up to one per cent of
natural bacterial isolates are 'mutator' clones
that have high mutation rates. We consider
here whether high mutation rates might play
an important role in adaptive evolution.
Models of large, asexual, clonal populations
adapting to a new environment show that
strong mutator genes (such as those that
increase mutation rates by 1,000-fold) can
accelerate adaptation, even if the mutator
20
gene remains at a very low frequency (for
example, 10[-5]). …

Abstract
Although it has been known for some time that olfactory receptors (ORs)
reside in spermatozoa, the function of these ORs is unknown. Here, we
identified, cloned, and functionally expressed a previously undescribed
human testicular OR, hOR17-4. With the use of ratiofluorometric imaging,
Ca2+ signals were induced by a small subset of applied chemical stimuli,
establishing the molecular receptive fields for the recombinantly
expressed receptor in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells and the
native receptor in human spermatozoa. Bourgeonal was a powerful
agonist for both recombinant and native receptor types, as well as a
strong chemoattractant in subsequent behavioral bioassays. In contrast,
undecanal was a potent OR antagonist to bourgeonal and related
compounds. Taken together, these results indicate that hOR17-4 functions
in human sperm chemotaxis and may be a critical component of the
23
fertilization process.

Conclusions from the experiment
• Chromosomes are easily gained and lost
in yeast evolution
• A more fine-tuned solution may follow
chromosome duplication
• A sticking similarity between repetitive
experiments
• A chromosome-condition specificity?

Repetitive elements in the human
genome
•Alu are repetitive retrotransposons
elements in the Human genome.
•Alu elements are about 300 base pairs long
and are therefore classified as short
interspersed elements (SINEs)
•There are over one million Alu elements
interspersed throughout the human genome
•About 10% of the human genome consists of
37
Alu sequences.
