Image Deletion.gif thumb 300px right Deletion on a chromosome In genetics , a deletion also called gene deletion , deficiency , or deletion mutation sign delta letter is a mutation a Chromosome Chromosomal aberrations genetic aberration in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is missing. Deletion is the loss of genetic material. Any number of nucleotide s can be deleted, from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome. ref name Lewis Lewis R. 2005. HumanGenetics Concepts and Applications , 6th Ed. McGraw Hill, New York. ref Deletions can be caused by errors in chromosomal crossover during meiosis . This causes several serious genetic disease s. Deletion also causes frameshift . Causes Causes include the following Losses from Chromosomal translocation translocation Chromosomal crossover s within a chromosomal inversion Unequal crossing over Breaking without rejoining For synapsis to occur between a chromosome with a large intercalary deficiency and a normal complete homolog, the unpaired region of the normal homolog must loop out of the linear structure into a deletion or compensation loop . Types Types of deletion include the following Terminal Deletion a deletion that occurs towards the end of a chromosome. Intercalary Deletion Interstitial Deletion a deletion that occurs from the interior of a chromosome.

Dynamical genetics concerns the study and the interpretation of those phenomena in which physiological Enzyme enzymatic protein complex es alter the DNA , in a more or less sophisticated way.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Classical genetics consists of the technique and methodologies of genetics that predate the advent of molecular biology . A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryote s was genetic linkage . The observation that some gene s do not segregate independently at meiosis broke the laws of Mendelian inheritance , and provided science with a way to map characteristics to a location on the chromosome s. Linkage maps are still used today, especially in breeding for plant improvement . After the discovery of the genetic code and such tools of Clone genetics cloning as restriction enzyme s, the avenues of investigation open to geneticists were greatly broadened. Some classical genetic ideas have been supplanted with the mechanistic understanding brought by molecular discoveries, but many remain intact and in use. Classical genetics is often contrasted with reverse genetics , and aspects of molecular biology are sometimes referred to as molecular genetics .

Unreferenced date January 2008 A bivalent , sometimes referred to as a tetrad , is a pair of associated homologous chromosome s held together by a complex after chromosome replication. During meiosis the Prophase I stage of Meiosis I , the process of synapsis occurs in which bivalents are formed. Each replicated chromosome is composed of two chromatid s. Bivalents are formed as two homologous chromosomes undergo recombination. Chromosome movement to accommodate recombination places homologous chromosomes close enough to each other for a protein complex synaptonemal complex , consisting of a protein ZIP1 ZYP1 depending on species , to hold them together. This protein s sequence is not well conserved, though its structure is very similar in all species globular domains on the N and C termini with a well defined core . In the atypical model species D. melanogaster and C. elegans recombination occurs secondarily to synapsis. Most species Human, Mouse, Arabidopsis, Maize, Yeast, Lily, and many others create bivalents as a result of DNA repair and recombination. Recombination produces chiasmata which hold chromosomes together after the synaptonemal complex dissolves.

Forward genetics is an approach that encompasses several means of identifying the gene or set of genes that are responsible for a particular phenotype within an organism. Initially, this entailed the generation of random mutations in an organism, often through radiation or insertional mutagenesis ex. Sleeping Beauty transposon system Sleeping Beauty , and then through a series of breeding of subsequent generations, isolating individuals with an aberrant phenotype. Today there are many different means of following the general path of altering the genotype to observe the phenotype, several of which within the genomic era can be useful in the study of functional genomics . Forward genetics can be thought of as a counter to reverse genetics , which seeks to alter genes in order to illuminate their multiple phenotypes. Classical forward genetics By the classical genetics approach, a researcher would then locate map the gene on its chromosome by crossbreeding with individuals that carry other unusual traits and collecting statistics on how frequently the two traits are inherited together. Classical geneticists would have used phenotypic traits to map the new mutant alleles. Eventually the hope is that such screens would reach a large enough scale that most or all newly generated mutations would represent a second hit of a locus, essentially saturating the genome with mutations. This type of saturation mutagenesis within classical experiments was used to define sets of genes that were a bare minimum for the appearance of specific phenotypes. ref Greg Gibson and Spencer V.

In genetics , anticipation is a phenomenon whereby the symptoms of a genetic disorder become apparent at an earlier age as it is passed on to the next generation . In most cases, an increase of severity of symptoms is also noted. Anticipation is common in trinucleotide repeat disorders such as Huntington s disease and myotonic dystrophy where a dynamic mutation in DNA occurs. All of these diseases have neurological symptoms. Prior to the understanding of the genetic mechanism for anticipation, it was debated whether anticipation was a true biological phenomenon or whether the earlier age of diagnosis was related to heightened awareness of disease symptoms within a family. Trinucleotide Repeats and Expansion Trinucleotide repeats are apparent in a number of locus genetics loci in the human genome . They have been found in introns , exons and five prime untranslated region 5 or 3 UTR s. They consist of a pattern of three nucleotides e.g. CGG which is repeated a number of times. During meiosis , unstable repeats can undergo triplet expansion see later section in this case, the germ cells produced have a greater number of repeats than are found in the somatic tissues. The mechanism behind the expansion of the triplet repeats is not well understood. One hypothesis is that the increasing number of repeats influence the overall shape of the DNA , which can have an effect on its interaction with DNA polymerase and thus the expression of the gene. Fact date March 2008 Disease mechanisms For many of the loci, trinucleotide expansion is harmless, ref citation ref but in some areas expansion has detrimental effects that cause symptoms. When the trinucleotide repeat is present within the protein coding region, the repeat expansion leads to production of a mutant protein with gain of function .
