DNA Segmenting / Fragmenting

DNA segmenting in genetic engineering refers to fragmenting of DNA
and sequencing or mapping the DNA in terms of its nucleotide
sequences. Chemical and enzymatic methods are available for the above. As
a result the genic and non-compartments of DNA can be identified.
In human beings, more than three hundred hereditary diseases have
been indentified. All these diseases have genetic background. Gene
mutations, chromosomal aberrations are the attributed reasons for the
manifestation of such genetic diseases in man. Most of them are congenital in
nature.

Pedigree analysis : Unlike animals, controlled crosses can not be made in
human beings. Hence human geneticists, resort to a scrutiny of
established matings. The scrutiny of established matings to obtain
information about the genetic characters / traits is called pedigree analysis.
Pedigree chart : Pedigree chart defines the history of a character in a family.
It is drawn up using certain standard symbols. It is also called as the Family
tree. Pedigree chart helps to identify and visualize the course of genetic diseases
in the progeny. This is especially true of diseases such as fibrosis and
phenylketonuria (PKU).
