| The Human Genome Project Video - 3D Animation Introduction - 213 sec
Human Genome Project; An introduction to the ongoing Human Genome Project. The dynamic 3D animation will take you "inside" for a close up look at the complexity of the cell. Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. Follow this ongoing research on our Progress page. An important feature of the HGP project was the federal government's long-standing dedication to the transfer of technology to the private sector. By licensing technologies to private companies and awarding grants for innovative research, the project catalyzed the multibillion-dollar U.S. biotechnology industry and fostered the development of new medical applications. Knowledge about the effects of DNA variations among individuals can lead to revolutionary new ways to diagnose, treat, and someday prevent the thousands of disorders that affect us. Besides providing clues to understanding human biology, learning about nonhuman organisms' DNA sequences can lead to an understanding of their natural capabilities that can be applied toward solving challenges in health care, agriculture, energy production, environmental remediation, and carbon sequestration. A genome is all the DNA in an organism, including its genes. Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by all organisms. These proteins determine, among other things, how the organism looks, how well its body metabolizes food or fights infection, and sometimes even how it behaves.
DNA is made up of four similar chemicals (called bases and abbreviated A, T, C, and G) that are repeated millions or billions of times throughout a genome. The human genome, for example, has 3 billion pairs of bases. The particular order of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs is extremely important. The order underlies all of life's diversity, even dictating whether an organism is human or another species such as yeast, rice, or fruit fly, all of which have their own genomes and are themselves the focus of genome projects. Because all organisms are related through similarities in DNA sequences, insights gained from nonhuman genomes often lead to new knowledge about human biology. Producer: NIH

Google Tech Talks
December, 19 2007
The DNA in our cells consists of not only the well-known 46
chromosomes currently receiving such avid attention from specialists
in sequencing technology, but also a large number of copies of a
relatively tiny, circular DNA molecule inside the "powerhouse of the
cell," the mitochondrion. Among other things, mitochondria perform
the chemistry of breathing - they extract energy from nutrients by
exquisitely regulated chemical reactions that consume oxygen and
create CO2. This vital function depends on the 13 proteins encoded by
the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), as well as on hundreds of proteins
that are encoded in our more famous genome and imported across the
mitochondrial surface after construction in the body of the cell. The
mtDNA accumulates mutant, non-functional variants far faster than our
main genome, so 20 years ago scientists began looking at the idea of
putting copies of the 13 genes of interest into the nucleus after
making modifications that would cause them to be processed by the
same "protein import" machinery that processes the mitochondrion's
many other proteins, thus making the mtDNA itself superfluous and
mutations in it harmless. I will discuss this concept in detail in my
talk. Progress has been very erratic in the meantime but is now very
rapid, partly because of Methuselah Foundation-funded research.
However, this approach may still prove impossible, so many other,
ostensibly simpler ideas - some more promising than others - have
been proposed, and I will describe some of these too.
Speaker: Dr Aubrey de Grey
Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist based in Cambridge, UK,
and is the Chairman and Chief Science Officer of the Methuselah
Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to combating the
aging process. He is also Editor-in-Chief of "Rejuvenation Research",
the world's only peer-reviewed journal focused on intervention in
aging. His research interests encompass the etiology of all the
accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular
side-effects of metabolism ("damage") that constitute mammalian aging
and the design of interventions to repair and/or obviate that damage.
He has developed a possibly comprehensive plan for such repair, termed
Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS), which breaks the
aging problem down into seven major classes of damage and identifies
detailed approaches to addressing each one. A key aspect of SENS is
that it can potentially extend healthy lifespan without limit, even
though these repair processes will never be perfect, as the repair only
needs to approach perfection rapidly enough to keep the overall level
of damage below pathogenic levels. de Grey has termed this required
rate of improvement of repair therapies "longevity escape velocity".

ABSTRACT
The Human Genome Sequence was a big jump in scale for the then young bioinformatics field. Thirty times bigger than the worm genome that we were only just getting to grips with and with far greater numbers of interested users. The Ensembl project was started from scratch to handle this data: a system to store the data in an RDBMS; a pipeline to generate a pre-computed set of analysis; an API to provide both web and programmatic access. Ensembl evolves continuously: a new release is made every 2 months and in nearly every release the schema is updated to handle new data types. It now integrates more than thirty large genomes and provides researchers with...

ABSTRACT
DNA is a programming language for living cells. The cell's basic operating system, or genome, directs functions like growth and reproduction, energy utilization, and the production of useful compounds like ethanol or penicillin. With genetic engineering, new functions can be added to cells or broken metabolic pathways repaired. Until recently, genetic engineering has required the DNA molecule itself to be physically manipulated, a tedious and expensive process. Now, automatic DNA synthesis permits virtually any DNA code to be made from scratch, opening up genetic engineering to anyone with a computer and a credit card. The capabilities of this new synthetic...

| | Genome sequencing leaves Creationists unable to respond - 262 sec
Evolution argues that we share a common ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas. And indeed, one of our chromosomes is the result of a fusion of two primate chromosomes. Our chromosome #2 was formed by the fusion of two primate chromosomes, and scientists can prove this.
When presented with the evidence, Creationists are simply unable to respond.
This video proves our common ancestry.

ABSTRACT
In the first half of the talk I will discuss several algorithmic results affecting whole genome assembly -- the problem of assembling a genome from short pieces (called reads). This problem is often reduced to various path problems on graphs. We will first show that the problem of finding the Shortest Chinese Superwalk on a de Bruijn graph is NP-complete/hard, hence demonstrating the computational equivalence of two methods for sequenceassembly: the String Graph approach of Myers et al and the Eulerian Superpath approach of Pevzner et al. We will also demonstrate a simple polynomial time algorithm separating complimentary paths on a graph, which is...
