The human genome sequence may be complete, but scientists are years away from understanding how all 40,000 genes function and interact.
The uses for genome sequencing are myriad, from discovering genes for common human traits to pinpointing the causes of diseases.
Tilghman’s lecture focused on genomic imprinting—the “arms race” between the father’s and mother’s genes to control the development of the embryo. Each set of genes tries to control the speed of the embryo?...
Male genes tend to favor quick growth under the theory that bigger is always better, Tilghman said. Female genes, on the other hand, favors quantity of offspring over size.
“Shirley herself seems to have inherited...a good set of genes,” said Elizabeth Robertson, professor of molecular and cellular biology, in her introduction yesterday.
