Document Summary

Theme 5 module 1 genetic variation. Tandem repeats: up to several thousand nucleotides in length, present next to each other in multiple identical or near identical copies. Simple sequence repeats: repeats as short as 2 nucleotides, repeated over and over throughout a dna sequence stretch. Not all variations in the sequence of the dna in our genomes will have an observed effect. Especially present if variation is in non-protein coding regions. Overall outcome of distribution of different sequences throughout the genome depends on the nature of the change and where in the genome it occurs. Primary goals of genome sequence projects = underlying dna sequences can be determined, possible to identify nucleotide sequences of coding and non-coding dna regions after amplification. Provides insight into mechanisms of inherited diseases and genetic variability. 99. 9% of human dna sequences are the same but genetic variations account for differences we observe between individuals.
