Genetic Expression and Chromosome Dosage
This lecture covers topics related to genetic expression, including balanced and biallelic expression, allelic imbalance, and monoallelic expression. It also discusses sickle cell disease, electrophoresis, genetic dosage importance, and chromosome 21 characteristics. The lecture further explores X chromosome inactivation, Barr bodies, and color blindness. Additionally, it delves into the impact of DNA methylation, CPG methylation, restriction nucleases, and isoschizomeres. The presentation concludes with insights into X chromosome inactivation mechanisms and the HUMARA test for identifying X chromosome inactivation patterns.
