Document Summary

Outline: characteristics of eukaryotic genomes, organization during interphase and all the other phases. Review: supercoiling = mechanisms for compacting bacterial dna. Eukaryotic genomes: linear genomes, one or more chromosomes and one or more copies of the chromosomes (haploid, diploid, etc, have introns and exons which makes it harder to make proteins. A large part of the genome is make up of repetitive dna, only about 2% of the genome are exons. Bacterial genomes are smaller and don"t contain introns: generally eukaryotes have larger genomes than prokaryotes. Encode project: results suggested: areas other than exons still have some purpose and some are expressed. Genome size: does not correlate with complexity. Same applies to amount of protein coding genes, it doesn"t correlate with complexity. Eukaryotic chromosomes: human cells have about 1 meter of dna, and all of that has to t within a cell. This is done through compaction and the use of proteins: protein + dna = chromatin.
