Gene mapping involves using genetic maps to find links between genes and diseases transmitted from parents to children, and has been useful in locating genes believed to cause common disorders such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and psychiatric conditions. Researchers use linkage to determine chromosome regions likely containing risk genes, ruling out low-chance areas, and then use association studies on candidate genes to test for connections to conditions. It is hoped that gene mapping can help find cures and prevent diseases from becoming prominent.

Command gradient error in Prehospital Care: Neil Jeffers
CommandGradientErrorinPre-HospitalCare
This document discusses the concept of command gradient error and how differences in rank can inhibit communication and compromise patient care. It notes that perceived or actual differences in rank between healthcare providers can lead to a loss of shared understanding of the situation, or joint mental model, which could result in an undesirable event for the patient. It advocates for using graded assertiveness through the PACE model (Probe, Alert, Challenge, Emergency) to overcome rank differences and ensure patient safety remains the top priority.
1q21_1_Del_Fact_Sheet_v1_0_FINAL
A 1q21.1 deletion is a rare genetic condition caused by missing genetic material on chromosome 1. It can cause a variety of developmental issues like mood disorders, short stature, smaller head size, low muscle tone, and sometimes medical problems. The most common features are mood and anxiety disorders, short stature, microcephaly, hypotonia, and heart or eye problems. Management may include evaluations by developmental pediatricians and specialists. The deletion can be inherited from a parent or be new in the child. More information is available from resources like Simons VIP.

Gene mapping slide show
Gene mapping involves decoding a person's DNA to learn about their health. While gene mapping can provide some insights, it cannot definitively determine what diseases a person will develop, as identical twins can develop different diseases despite shared genes. Additionally, lifestyle factors like smoking and alcohol consumption greatly impact health outcomes more than genetics alone. Gene mapping is mostly used for research purposes today and does not customize individual health care.

Genetic mapping is used to determine the location of genes on chromosomes and the distance between genes. It provides evidence that conditions passed down from parents to children are linked to specific genes. Genetic maps have been used to identify genes responsible for single-gene disorders and complex diseases. Applications of genetic mapping include medical diagnosis and treatment, agriculture, energy/environment, and forensics. While it provides advantages like disease risk assessment and personalized medicine, genetic mapping also has disadvantages such as expense and religious objections.
Genetic mapping
Genetic mapping involves using genetic techniques like examining family histories and cross-breeding to construct maps showing the location of genes on a genome. It has been used successfully to identify genes responsible for rare single-gene disorders. Genetic maps provide clues about which chromosome contains a disease gene and its precise location. They are also useful for guiding research on more common multi-gene disorders. Physical mapping directly examines DNA to map sequence features, while genetic mapping looks for co-inheritance of diseases and genetic markers in family studies.
Autism and it’s genetic implications
The document discusses the genetics behind autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It notes that while the genetics are complex, research suggests both genetic and environmental factors play a role. Studies of twins have found concordance rates between 56-95% in identical twins, suggesting a strong genetic component. Chromosomal abnormalities like deletions, duplications, and inversions have also been linked to ASD. The document examines different genetic studies of autism in twins, siblings, and families that provide evidence for a genetic basis of ASD. It concludes that autism likely has both genetic and environmental causes.
Intro to Biomedical Informatics 701
This document provides an introduction to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and their role in discovering the genetic basis of complex traits and diseases. It explains that GWAS are a hypothesis-free approach to searching the entire human genome for genetic variants associated with a trait using common single nucleotide polymorphisms. Over 2,000 traits and diseases have been studied through GWAS, identifying over 15,000 genetic associations. The document traces the development of GWAS from early human genome sequencing and projects to characterize human genetic variation to the availability of high-throughput genotyping arrays that enabled widespread application of GWAS in disease research.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. It has a strong genetic component, with heritability estimates ranging from 40-80%. While hundreds of genes have been implicated, no single gene accounts for more than 1-3% of cases. Both rare and common genetic variants, as well as environmental factors, contribute to autism risk. The causes are highly heterogeneous and complex. Understanding the underlying genetics may help lead to improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention.

LANDMARK STUDIES ON GENETICS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA bikram.pptx
This document summarizes landmark genetic studies on schizophrenia. Family, twin, and adoption studies provide strong evidence that schizophrenia has a genetic component. Twin studies find higher concordance rates in identical twins compared to fraternal twins, indicating genetic influence. Adoption studies find higher rates of schizophrenia in children of biological parents with schizophrenia, even when adopted away, supporting a genetic rather than environmental transmission. Linkage and association studies have identified potential susceptibility genes on several chromosomes. Overall, the studies establish that schizophrenia has significant genetic risk factors.
GENETICS
Genetic testing analyzes an individual's DNA to identify genotypes and genetic disorders or conditions. It is used diagnostically and for non-medical purposes like forensics. The Human Genome Project mapped all human genes to advance research. Genetic testing can identify hereditary health risks but results are estimates and lifestyle factors also influence health outcomes. While testing provides information, it can also psychologically burden those who see their genes as deterministic of health without considering environmental influences. New research shows epigenetics, beliefs, and lifestyle can influence gene expression beyond what genetic testing indicates.
Dna sequencing
The document discusses Sanger sequencing, also known as dideoxy sequencing. It was developed by Fred Sanger in 1977 and allows scientists to determine the order of nitrogen bases (A, G, C, T) in a strand of DNA. The method involves using a primer, DNA polymerase, and dideoxynucleotides to produce terminated DNA fragments of different lengths, which are then separated by gel electrophoresis. This allows scientists to read the order of bases from the DNA sequence.
WRTG 3014 - Lydia Wallace - ASD Research Review
The document analyzes potential causes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in Utah, specifically the Wasatch Front region which has one of the highest ASD diagnosis rates in the nation. It finds that ASD is caused by a complex combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors like single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants increase risk when combined with environmental exposures during prenatal development, like air pollutants. Studies have identified ASD "hotspots" in densely populated areas along the Wasatch Front with higher pollution levels. Both the genetic characteristics of the local population from founders and current environmental exposures may contribute to elevated ASD rates in the region.
NGS-report-amir.pdf
This document provides a guide for non-genetic medical doctors to understand next generation sequencing (NGS) reports. It explains that NGS is used in clinical diagnostic testing to sequence a patient's genome and identify genetic variants, which can be benign, pathogenic, or of uncertain significance. The document outlines how variants are classified and discusses limitations of testing. It also describes what primary findings related to a patient's symptoms and secondary findings unrelated to symptoms may be reported.
Schizophrenia
The document discusses several biological explanations for schizophrenia, including genetics, biochemistry, and neuroanatomy. It summarizes evidence from twin and adoption studies that support a genetic influence but also the role of environmental factors. The document then focuses on the dopamine hypothesis, explaining that schizophrenia may involve excessive dopamine activity in the brain. Evidence from drugs, post-mortem studies, and PET scans is presented to support this hypothesis, though it is noted that other neurotransmitters may also be involved. Alternative biological explanations discussed include brain structure abnormalities, brain damage, viral infections, and birth complications.

1) Identical twins have the same DNA sequence but can become increasingly different over time with subtle differences in personalities, appearances, behaviors, and disease susceptibilities.
2) This is due to differences in their "epigenome" or how they use their DNA through epigenetic modifications like DNA methylation and histone modifications rather than changes to the DNA sequence.
3) A study of 512 adolescent twins found differences in DNA methylation profiles of imprinted genes between genetically identical twins, supporting the role of environment in influencing epigenetics and contributing to differences between twins.
Genetic Engineering for Cure
The document discusses genetic engineering and its potential benefits and risks. It provides examples of how genetic engineering has helped treat Parkinson's disease, breast cancer, and diabetes by identifying genes associated with these diseases. While research has potential to cure illnesses, it also raises ethical issues regarding who has access to treatments and how genetic information is used. The conclusion argues that further funding genetic research could help eliminate diseases, but personal genetic data should remain private.

Genetically modified foods are foods that have been modified by scientists by changing or adding new genes. Scientists genetically modify foods to protect against pests, add nutrients, help foods thrive in different environments, and protect from disease. Common genetically modified foods include bananas, tomatoes, corn, and soybeans. The genetic modification process involves isolating a desired gene, inserting it into a transfer vector like a plasmid, transforming the plant by transferring the plasmid into the plant's chromosomes using Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria. While genetically modified foods aim to benefit agriculture, some argue they could spread unknown diseases, lead to pest resistance, transfer allergens, or interfere with nature.

The Honolulu Technique is one of three cloning methods that can produce live cloned offspring from adult animal cells. It was developed by scientists at the University of Hawaii who successfully cloned mice over five generations. The technique involves removing the nucleus from a donor cell, transferring it into an egg, stimulating the egg to divide, and implanting the cloned embryo into a surrogate mother. While it is more successful than other cloning methods and may help treat diseases, it is also expensive, reduces genetic diversity, and requires many attempts due to mutations.

The document outlines the process used to sequence the human genome. It describes how DNA was broken into fragments, placed in bacterial chromosomes to be replicated, cut into fingerprints, and then reassembled by mapping overlapping sequences of letters to complete the genome sequence. The project took 7 years to complete at a cost of $3 billion and led to discoveries that could help map genes associated with diseases and develop new medical treatments and cures.

The Human Genome Project was a 13-year project completed in 2003 that mapped and analyzed all of the genes in the human genome. It found that there are approximately 20,500 genes in the human body, less than originally predicted. The project provided detailed information about human genes and their structure, organization, and function, representing the basic set of instructions for human development and function.
Polymerase chain reaction
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a process that allows specific DNA sequences to be replicated millions of times, invented by Dr. Kary Banks Mullis in 1983. A thermocycler machine automates temperature changes to denature, anneal, and extend DNA during PCR cycles. This allows small amounts of DNA to be amplified for research, forensics, and other applications by creating multiple copies of the targeted DNA sequence.
Epigenetics bio proj
Epigenetics is the study of inheritable changes that occur without altering the DNA sequence. These changes include modifications to gene expression and phenotypes through mechanisms other than the DNA sequence, such as environmental factors. Epigenetic changes can be caused by an individual's choices and environment and can potentially affect their children and grandchildren. Identical twins with the same DNA but different environments and lifestyles can have different epigenetic profiles and health outcomes due to factors like stress levels and diet. While epigenetics research holds promise, it also raises ethical concerns and can potentially cause abnormalities if not carefully studied.
Geneticsnotes ch9 bio
Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1850s and 1860s to study inheritance of traits. He observed that traits were inherited in predictable patterns, with dominant traits masking recessive traits in the offspring of crosses. His work established the fundamental laws of genetics, including segregation of alleles, independent assortment of traits, and dominance. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of molecular genetics and our modern understanding of genes and inheritance.

Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the 1850s and 1860s to study inheritance of traits. He observed that traits were inherited in predictable patterns, with one trait (factor) being dominant and the other recessive. This led to his laws of inheritance including dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. His work established the field of genetics and provided evidence that traits are passed from parents to offspring via discrete units later known as genes.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
