Biology and Society: DNA, Guilt, and Innocence• DNA profiling is the analysis of DNA samples that can be used to
determine whether the samples come from the same individual.
• DNA profiling can therefore be used in courts to indicate if someone is:
– Guilty
– Innocent

• Biotechnology today means the use of DNA technology, methods for:
– Studying and manipulating genetic material
– Modifying specific genes
– Moving genes between organisms

• Recombinant DNA is formed when scientists combine nucleotide sequences (pieces of DNA) from two different sources to form a single DNA molecule.
• Recombinant DNA technology is widely used in genetic engineering, the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes.

Applications: From Humulin to Foods to “Pharm” Animals• By transferring the gene for a desired protein into a bacterium or
yeast, proteins that are naturally present in only small amounts can be produced in large quantities.

Making Humulin• In 1982, the world’s first genetically engineered pharmaceutical
product was sold.
• Humulin, human insulin:
– Was produced by genetically modified bacteria
– Was the first recombinant DNA drug approved by the FDA
– Is used today by more than 4 million people with diabetes

– Human growth hormone (HGH)
– The hormone EPO, which stimulates production of red blood cells
– Vaccines, harmless variants or derivatives of a pathogen used to prevent infectious diseases

Genetically Modified (GM) Foods• Today, DNA technology is quickly replacing traditional plant-
breeding programs.
• Scientists have produced many types of genetically modified (GM) organisms, organisms that have acquired one or more genes by artificial means.
• A transgenic organism contains a gene from another organism, typically of another species.
![Page 12: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• In the United States today, roughly one-half of the corn crop and over three-quarters of the soybean and cotton crops are genetically modified.
• Corn has been genetically modified to resist insect infestation.

– May eventually replace traditional animal breeding but
– Is not currently used to produce transgenic animals sold as food
• Meat may come from livestock that receive genes that produce:
– Larger muscles or
– Healthy omega-3 fatty acids instead of less healthy fatty acids (already done in 2006 in pigs)

Recombinant DNA Techniques• Bacteria are the workhorses of modern biotechnology.
• To work with genes in the laboratory, biologists often use bacterial plasmids, small, circular DNA molecules that are separate from the much larger bacterial chromosome.
![Page 18: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Plasmids:
– Can easily incorporate foreign DNA
– Are readily taken up by bacterial cells
– Can act as vectors, DNA carriers that move genes from one cell to another
– Are ideal for gene cloning, the production of multiple identical copies of a gene-carrying piece of DNA
![Page 20: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

A Closer Look: Cutting and Pasting DNA with Restriction Enzymes
• Recombinant DNA is produced by combining two ingredients:
– A bacterial plasmid
– The gene of interest
• To combine these ingredients, a piece of DNA must be spliced into a plasmid.
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
![Page 23: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

• This splicing process can be accomplished by:
– Using restriction enzymes, which cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences, and
– Producing pieces of DNA called restriction fragments with “sticky ends” important for joining DNA from different sources
• DNA ligase connects the DNA pieces into continuous strands by forming bonds between adjacent nucleotides.

DNA PROFILING AND FORENSIC SCIENCE• DNA profiling:
– Can be used to determine if two samples of genetic material are from a particular individual
– Has rapidly revolutionized the field of forensics, the scientific analysis of evidence from crime scenes
• To produce a DNA profile, scientists compare genetic markers, sequences in the genome that vary from person to person.

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Analysis• How do you test if two samples of DNA come from the same
person?
• Repetitive DNA:
– Makes up much of the DNA that lies between genes in humans and
– Consists of nucleotide sequences that are present in multiple copies in the genome
![Page 37: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

• Short tandem repeats (STRs) are:
– Short sequences of DNA
– Repeated many times, tandemly (one after another), in the genome
• STR analysis:
– Is a method of DNA profiling
– Compares the lengths of STR sequences at certain sites in the genome

GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS• Genomics is the science of studying complete sets of genes
(genomes).
– The first targets of genomics were bacteria.
– As of 2009, the genomes of nearly one thousand species have been published, including:
– Mice
– Fruit flies
![Page 46: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

The Human Genome Project• Begun in 1990, the Human Genome Project was a massive
scientific endeavor:
– To determine the nucleotide sequence of all the DNA in the human genome and
– To identify the location and sequence of every gene
![Page 48: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
• At the completion of the project in 2004:
– Over 99% of the genome had been determined to 99.999% accuracy
– 3.2 billion nucleotide pairs were identified
– About 21,000 genes were found
– About 98% of the human DNA was identified as noncoding
![Page 49: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

• The Human Genome Project can help map the genes for specific diseases such as:
– Alzheimer’s disease
– Parkinson’s disease

– Is a recombinant DNA procedure
– Seeks to treat disease by altering the genes of the afflicted person
– Often replaces or supplements the mutant version of a gene with a properly functioning one

SAFETY AND ETHICAL ISSUES• As soon as scientists realized the power of DNA technology, they
began to worry about potential dangers such as the:
– Creation of hazardous new pathogens
– Transfer of cancer genes into infectious bacteria and viruses
![Page 56: 12 lecture presentation0](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051207/53fee3058d7f726a5c8b474a/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

• Strict laboratory safety procedures have been designed to:
– Protect researchers from infection by engineered microbes
– Prevent microbes from accidentally leaving the laboratory

The Controversy over Genetically Modified Foods• GM strains account for a significant percentage of several
agricultural crops in the United States.

• Advocates of a cautious approach are concerned that:
– Crops carrying genes from other species might harm the environment
– GM foods could be hazardous to human health
– Transgenic plants might pass their genes to close relatives in nearby wild areas

Ethical Questions Raised by DNA Technology• DNA technology raises legal and ethical questions—few of
which have clear answers.
– Should genetically engineered human growth hormone be used to stimulate growth in HGH-deficient children?
– Do we have any right to alter an organism’s genes—or to create new organisms?
– Should we try to eliminate genetic defects in our children and their descendants?
– Should people use mail-in kits that can tell healthy people their relative risk of developing various diseases?

• DNA technologies raise many complex issues that have no easy answers.
• We as a society and as individuals must become educated about DNA technologies to address the ethical questions raised by their use.

Evolution Connection:Profiling the Y Chromosome• Barring mutations, the human Y chromosome passes essentially
intact from father to son.
• By comparing Y DNA, researchers can learn about the ancestry of human males.
