15 Bringing Genome Into Three Dimensions Functional Genomics Milestone: How well function can be inherited from similar sequences? From sequence to function: desires and problems

16 Data/information deluge and flavors of Bioinformatics

17 High Throughputs help increase a picture resolution: 1. Genomic sequencing 2. Protein crystalization 3. Synchrotron crystallography 4. NMR 5. Mass spectrometry 6. Mutageneses experiments 7. Screening 8. Chemical synthesis

18 High Throughputs help increase a picture resolution: 1.What do we get? 2.A big puzzle with great many peaces!!!

19 Next Step in Genomics Transcriptomics involves large-scale analysis of messenger RNAs (molecules that are transcribed from active genes) to follow when, where, and under what conditions genes are expressed. Proteomics the study of protein expression and function can bring researchers closer than gene expression studies to what s actually happening in the cell. Structural genomics initiatives are being launched worldwide to generate the 3-D structures of one or more proteins from each protein family, thus offering clues to function and biological targets for drug design. Knockout studies are one experimental method for understanding the function of DNA sequences and the proteins they encode. Researchers inactivate genes in living organisms and monitor any changes that could reveal the function of specific genes. Comparative genomics analyzing DNA sequence patterns of humans and well-studied model organisms side-by-side has become one of the most powerful strategies for identifying human genes and interpreting their function.

At present sequance-based fold recognition (e.g. GenTHREADER) is successful for aroud 50% of the ORFs. Structures of a further 15% of ORFs can probably be assigned. By full threading methods such as THREADER, and the reamaining 35% cannot currently be recognized either because the fold has not yet observed, or because the ORF encodes a non-globular protein (e.g. atransmembrane protein).

Almost half of the amino acids (49%) in the Mycoplasma genitalium proteins have a structural annotation. In this case, the structural anotation was taken from the SUPERFAMILY database(version 1.59, September 2002), described in Section Roughty one fifth of the proteome is predicted to be a transmembrane helix or low complexity region by therelevant computer programs. The remaining 30% of the proteome is unassigned.
