21. Genotype & Phenotype In a narrow genetic sense, the genotype defines the phenotype. Buthow out phenotypes. How do we get from genotype to phenotype? http://biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BIO48/5.Geno.Pheno.HTML

PHENOTYPE AND GENOTYPE Definitions: phenotype is the constellation of observable traits; genotype is the genetic endowment of the individual. Phenotype = genotype + development (in a given environment). To consider these in the context of evolutionary biology, we want to know how these two are related. In a narrow "genetic" sense, the genotype defines the phenotype. But how, in and evolutionary sense, does the phenotype "determine" the genotype? Selection acts on phenotypes because differential reproduction and survivorship depend on phenotype. If the phenotype affecting reproduction or survivorship is genetically based, then selection can winnow out genotypes indirectly by winnowing out phenotypes. How do we get from genotype to phenotype? Central dogma DNA via transcription to RNA via translation to protein ; proteins can act to alter the patterns and timing of gene expression which can lead to cytodifferentiation where cells take on different states; cell communication can lead to pattern formation and morphogenesis and eventually we have an adult!

22. Genotype And Phenotype Sociological approaches to ecological uncertainty (version 2) Genotypeand phenotype. One particular problem in biology is the difference http://homepages.which.net/~gk.sherman/gaaaaaad.htm

Sociological approaches to ecological uncertainty (version 2) Genotype and phenotype One particular problem in biology is the difference between an organism's genetic code (its genotype) and its physical form (its phenotype). This has consequences to four main areas of ecology. 1. Developmental biology: the differences between individual cells in a multicellular organism. 2. Population genetics: the differences between individual organisms in a sexually or asexually reproducing population. 3. Population ecology: the differences between species in an ecosystem. 4. Evolution: the historical genealogy of species. In practice these areas overlap in many ecologies. Some examples: Interactions between nuclear, mitocondrial, and chloroplast codes in eukaryotic cells. Budding in slime-molds. Bacterial ecologies such as bio-films. Intracellular communication in chemical, hormonal and neural systems such as in the heart and the brain. Protein computation in living cells. Metabolic diversity in bacteria. Social behaviour in a wide range of animals. The above definitions provide a useful framework with which to contrast various biological theories.

Next: Fitness Evaluation Unit Up: CBM Architecture Previous: Cellular Automata Module Genotype and Phenotype Memory Each of the 72 FPGA daughter boards includes 16 Mbytes of EDO DRAM to be used for storing the genotypes and phenotypes of the neural modules, a total of 1,180 Mbytes. There are two modes of CBM operation, namely evolution mode and run mode. The evolution mode involves the growth phase and signaling phase. During the growth phase, memory is used to store the chromosome bitstrings of the evolving population of modules (module genotypes). For a module of 13,824 cells there are over 91 Kbits of genotype memory needed. For each module the genotype memory also stores information concerning the locations and orientations of the neurons inside the module, and their synaptic masks. During the run mode, memory is used as a phenotype memory for the evolved modules. The phenotype data describes the grown axonic and dendritic trees and their respective neurons for each module. The phenotype data is loaded into the CA module to configure it according to the evolved function. The genotype/phenotype memory is used to store and rapidly reconfigure (reload) the FPGA hardware CA module. Reconfiguration can be performed in parallel with running the module, due to a dual pipelined phenotype/genotype register provided in each cell. This guarantees the continuous running of the FPGA array at full speed with no interruptions for reloading in either evolution or run modes. The phenotype/genotype memory can support up to 32,758 interconnected neural modules at a time. An additional memory will be based in the main memory of the host computer (Pentium-Pro 300 MHz) connected to the CBM through a PCI bus, capable of transferring data at 132 Mbytes/s.

Chapters at Harrison's Although our understanding of pathology has grown rapidly in recent decades, the underlying mechanisms of many diseases remain obscure. Genomic research offers a new opportunity for determining how diseases occur, by taking advantage of experiments of nature and a growing array of sophisticated research tools to identify the molecular abnormalities underlying disease processes. In this review I examine examples in which genomic research has improved our understanding of molecular pathobiology and consider its potential for contributing to the study of common complex diseases.

27. Non-linear Mapping From Genotype To Phenotype Nonlinear mapping from genotype to phenotype. This phenotype is nownon-linearly related to the coding, or genotype of the problem. http://carol.science.uva.nl/~roel/metazoan/node3.html

Next: Generation and maintenance of Up: Introduction Previous: Introduction Non-linear mapping from genotype to phenotype For many years the study of evolution has been shown to be fruitful without taking into account that there is no such thing as direct mapping from the coding of an organism to its fitness evaluation. In such studies on evolutionary dynamics a change in the genotype of an organism results in an equivalent change in its phenotype. The last decennia however, a number of paradigm systems have been developed that do include a non-linear genotype to phenotype transition. These systems include NK-landscapes [ ] and models on RNA-evolution [ ], but also genetic algorithms (GA) [ ] and genetic programming (GP) [ ]. The study of these paradigm systems has, or should have, profoundly reformed thinking on evolutionary change. Although genetic algorithms were designed not primarily for the study of evolutionary dynamics, they offer important insight into the behaviour of evolutionary systems having a non-linear genotype-phenotype mapping. In genetic algorithms, a solution to a predefined computational problem is ``evolved'' by selecting possible solutions from a population. The solutions that are more able to cope with the problem than their brothers and sisters reproduce and form a new population. During this reproduction small changes are made to the solutions by means of genetic operators such as point mutations and cross-overs. In many of these genetic algorithms the problems comprise the setting of parameters in a predefined system. In some genetic algorithms however the solution to a predefined computational problem is coded in a representation that is non-linearly related to the actual solution. For example, the parameter setting of a system could be encoded in a bitstring. If each bit in this would have an equal chance of being mutated a change from, say, 127 to 255 would be as probable as a change from 254 to 255. The performance of the solution to the problem that this bitstring represents can be seen as its phenotype. This phenotype is now non-linearly related to the coding, or

Mendel and the Gene Idea From Genotype to Phenotype:Some complications III. FROM GENOTYPE TO PHENOTYPE: SOME COMPLICATIONS In the examples discussed previously, one allele expresses complete dominance over the second allele which results in progeny resembling one parent or the other. This is not always the case as there are other patterns of inheritance. Intermediate Inheritance Intermediate inheritance = Production of F hybrid (heterozygote) that has an appearance somewhere in between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties. For example, when a red snapdragon is crossed with a white snapdragon, all F hybrids have pink flowers. (See Campbell, Figure 13.12 This intermediate inheritance is also called incomplete dominance When F hybrids are crossed, the F generation has phenotypic and genotypic ratios of 1:2:1 (1red:2pink:1white and 1RR:2Rr:1rr). With intermediate inheritance, the heterozygotes can be distinguished from homozygotes by their phenotypes. This type of inheritance should not be considered a form of "blending" as the alleles maintain their integrity while in the heterozygous nucleus and segregate during gamete formation (as evidenced by the F generation phenotypes).

30. Genotype Vs Phenotype genotype vs phenotype. At the moment we understand our phenotype far more completelythan our genotype. This is true even for traits which we understand poorly. http://www.ess.ucla.edu/huge/genotype2.html

Genotype vs Phenotype Living material is unique in that its composition and form is represented in two radically different formats, called phenotype and genotype The physical material itself - an arm, cell, chunk of meat or thymus gland - constitutes its phenotype. It is more than what is visible by eye or microscope however, as it includes the full complement of behaviours, the developmental dynamics, as well as the chemical compositionof the organism. Genetic representations are inscribed in a code in DNA molecules infused throughout all biological tissues. Every cell contains a complete genetic description of not only its own phenotype but of the whole organism encompassing it. A fat cell in the belly contains the complete genetic information for brain neurons as well as itself. Every speck of tissue visible to the eye carries hundreds or thousands of these genetic representations in the chromosomes of its cells. Moreover, they do not merely describe but are part of an elaborate cellular machinery to cause a body part to develop the form of those descriptions. The genotype is the full complement of the genetic information repeated exactly in every body cell. It is a major determinant of the phenotypic attributes of the organism, which is why an egg laid by a hen hatches as a chick instead of a duckling. But, genes are not exclusively responsible for a person's phenotype. The environment also plays an essential role. A baby can be born with fetal alcohol syndrome because the mother abused alcohol during her pregnancy. Also, Japanese children grow up speaking Japanese and British children English, due exclusively to their environment. In general phenotypic traits are specified or "determined" by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Psychology 207 Genotype and Phenotype Jeffrey J. Wine, 11/3/99 Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species. The human genome What genes do The human genome project ... From genes to mind The human genome. A genome is all of the DNA in an organism. The human genome consists of ~80,000-140,000 genes and ~3,000,000,000 paired nucleotides. Perhaps 95% of the DNA is non-coding, leaving perhaps 150,000,000 nucleotides for the genes , or 1500 nucleotides per gene. After subtracting non-coding regions, the average gene product would be predicted to be less than 500 amino acids in length. What genes do Genes make proteins . So the question becomes: what do proteins do? Each cell of the body uses ~10-15% of the full array of genes to make ~10,000 different proteins that in aggregate enable the cell to carry out its functions. Many proteins are expressed in every cell to perform 'housekeeping' functions such as metabolism and protein production. Other proteins are only expressed in specific types of cells: for example rhodopsin in rods and the other color pigments in each of the respective cone cells of the retina. The complex structure of the body and the functions to which it gives rise develops as proteins interact with each other, and with genes (proteins control gene expression) and with environmental stimuli.

32. Genotype And Phenotype genotype and phenotype. Resistance testing generally involves determiningthe genotype or phenotype of a virus. The genotype refers http://www.hivandhepatitis.com/hiv_and_aids/test/lab1b.html

Genotype and Phenotype The phenotype refers to the characteristics or properties of the virus. Phenotypic assays for drug susceptibility determine the amount of drug needed to inhibit viral growth in tissue culture. The amount of drug needed to inhibit virus growth by 50% is called the 50% inhibitory concentration, or IC50; similarly, the concentration of drug that inhibits virus growth by 95% is known as the IC95. Testing a particular drug against a large number of isolates from patients who never received antiretroviral therapy can determine average IC50 for wild-type isolates of HIV-1. Viruses that are inhibited by similar concentrations of that drug are considered susceptible or sensitive; those that are inhibited only at higher drug concentrations are considered resistant. Results of phenotypic assays are sometimes expressed as Afold-resistance@ by comparing the IC50 of the patient=s virus to that of a control isolate. For example, if the IC50 for zidovudine of the control isolate is 2 nM and the patient isolate has an IC50 of 20 nM, then the patient=s virus would be 10-fold resistant as compared to the control. However, the definition of Aresistant@ also needs to consider the concentration of drug that can be achieved in the plasma and the relationship between IC50 or fold-resistance and clinical response to the drug in question.

Impact of Drug Levels and Baseline Genotype and Phenotype on the Virologic Response to Amprenavir/Ritonavir-based Salvage Therapy Coadministration of amprenavir (APV) with small doses of ritonavir (RTV) results in a significant increase in APV plasma concentrations. Viruses showing resistance to other protease inhibitors (PI) may remain susceptible to APV, supporting a role for this drug in salvage therapy Apanish Researchers enrolled 35 patients who began a rescue intervention based on APV/RTV 600/100 mg twice daily. Their median viral load before beginning APV/RTV was 4.15 logs and their median CD4 count was 247 cells per microliter. The median prior PI exposure was of 43 months. At baseline, the median number of PI resistance mutations was 7. The mean APV plasma trough concentration at week 12 was 1.3 microg/mL, and did not differ significantly comparing subjects having or not having VR. A trend toward a higher VR rate at week 48 was noticed among subjects with high genotypic inhibitory quotients (GIQ). The authors conclude, “HIV genotyping but not drug levels might be helpful to predict which patients would benefit from a rescue intervention based on APV/RTV 600/100 twice daily.”

Mangile's Pigeon Pages To achieve a modicum of breeding success, it is important that breeders understand the difference between - the reproductive potential and the external appearance of an individual; whether it be plant or animal. The genetic constitution, or genotype , represents the sum total of an individuals breeding potential. That same individual's entire genetic package in a pre-orchestrated, cumulative action - is the primary force that produces the characteristics of that individual. However, it may possess many genes that play no role toward the expression of its phenotype, but when passes to its offspring may produce characteristics not seen in the parent. Generally, the offspring receives (inherits) half of its genes from each parent. It is the combined actions of countless numbers of genes that produce the observable characteristics we see and evaluate. Only the genes (not the characteristics) are passed on to the offspring; which in turn produce the characteristics of the new individual. For example: Silky plumage in pigeons is not inherited ; but the gene that produces the silky plumage is inherited . The silky plumage is part of its phenotype and the gene that produced it is part of its genotype With some experience, parts of a birds genotype can be determined by its outward appearance. Breeding tests may be necessary to determine more about a birds genotype. The two examples below have different phenotypes as well as different genotypes; without breeding records, a breeder can only rely on the birds outward appearance (phenotype) to determine, only part, of its genotype.

Relationship of Genotype to Phenotype The Xase gene locus specifies the enzyme Xase , which converts the precursor substrate X to the product substance Y . The production of Y is a phenotypic consequence of the genotypic expression of the Xase gene. A second locus produces an enzyme that converts Y to Z . Because the production of Z is dependent on the proper function of Xase , it is also a phenotype of the Xase gene. The final phenotype may be another intermediate in the metabolic pathway (see the discussion of arginine metabolism in Neurospora ), an endpoint product (see the discussion of hemoglobin in humans), or a trait resulting from the expression of such a product (see the discussion of sickle-cell anemia Homework Question : Are Xase Yase part of the genotype , or part of the phenotype ? Explain.

In these house cats, the genes for ear form are different, causing one of these cats to have normal ears and the other to have curled ears. A change in the environment also can affect the phenotype.

37. Genotype Or Phenotype genotype or phenotype? What s the difference you ask? Basically, phenotypeis what you see and genotype is what is on the inside, your genes. http://lupa.werenation.com/animals/genotype_or_phenotype.htm

Genotype or Phenotype? What's the difference you ask? Well the dictionary defines them as such: Phenotype visible characteristics of organism: the visible characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction between its genetic makeup and the environment. Genotype genetic makeup: the genetic makeup of an organism, as opposed to its physical characteristics. H eterozygote organism with variants of gene: an animal or plant possessing two forms of a particular gene encoding some inheritable characteristic, which may therefore produce offspring differing from their parents and each other in that characteristic. Basically, phenotype is what you see and genotype is what is on the inside, your genes. Snape's phenotype is normal (I will use the letter 'N' to represent this below.) and normal color is a dominant trait but his genotype is for both normal and albino. Albinism is a recessive trait (I will use the letter 'a' to represent it below). Snape is the product of mating a full normal, (which was both genotype and phenotype for normal) to an albino, (which to show as an albino, ie phenotype albino , must be 100% genotype albino genes as well.) So Snape's genes would look like this= Na. While his normal parent's geno is NN and his albino parent's geno is aa. I will demonstrate below.

38. Genotype-phenotype Distinction - InformationBlast genotypephenotype distinction - Information Blast. genotype-phenotypedistinction. The genotype-phenotype distinction refers to the http://www.informationblast.com/Genotype-phenotype_distinction.html

Genotype-phenotype distinction The genotype-phenotype distinction refers to the fact that while genotype and phenotype of an organism are related, they do not necessarily coincide. The genotype of an organism represents its exact genetic makeup , that is, the particular set of genes it possesses. Two organisms whose genes differ at even one locus (position in their genome ) are said to have different genotypes. The term "genotype" refers, then, to the full hereditary information of an organism. The phenotype of an organism, on the other hand, represents its actual physical properties, such as height, weight, hair color, and so on. The mapping of a set of genotypes to a set of phenotypes is sometimes referred to as the genotype-phenotype map An organism's genotype is the largest influencing factor in the development of its phenotype, but it is not the only one. Even two organisms with identical genotypes normally differ in their phenotypes. One experiences this in everyday life with monozygous (i.e. identical) twins . Identical twins share the same genotype, since their genomes are identical; but they never have the same phenotype, although their phenotypes may be very similar. This is apparent in the fact that their mothers and close friends can always tell them apart, even though others might not be able to see the subtle differences. Further, identical twins can be distinguished by their fingerprints , which are never completely identical.

Problems in relating genotype to phenotype From: Ann Dowker ( ann.dowker@st-annes.oxford.ac.uk Date: Wed Feb 19 2003 - 21:45:14 GMT Next message: M Munafo: "Reliability and Validity II." Previous message: M Munafo: "Lecture Slides." Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] ... [ attachment ] ('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Annette Karmiloff-Smith and her colleagues have recently written some quite interesting comments on the problems of relating genotype to phenotype; and the possible limitations in applying molecular genetics to behavioural issues. Their predominant interest is in developmental disorders; but I think that some of the points raised might apply to *any* characteristic that develops over time. For example, some of these issues are discussed in the following paper: Karmiloff-Smith, A., Scerif, G. and Thomas, M. (in press). Different approaches to relating genotype to phenotype in developmental disorders. Developmental Psychobiology. In this paper, the authors begin by criticizing the view that there are specific genes or sets of genes for certain specific cognitive functions (e.g. grammar, number understanding). They write: "Two issues are at stake: how *direct* the relationship between genes and cognitive processes may be, and how *specific*. It is uncontroversial that a single gene product cannot construct cognition (although some appear tempted by this idea because the lack of a single gene product can sometimes *impair* cognition). The issue of *directness* relates to how precise a role any group of genes will have in determining the structure and content of any subsequent cognitive module. It is our contention that no combination of gene effects will alone determine a cognitive structure. Necessarily, the environment plays a causal role... whether that environment constitutes the biochemical environment affecting cell differentiation, the prenatal nutritional environment affecting development of the fetus, or the environment of the external world with which the individual interacts during the process of cognitive development."
