  3. What is genomics? • Something to do with: • Genes? • The human genome project? • Health/Diseases? • DNA? • Science?

  4. Quiz 1 • When was the term genomics first coined? • A. In 1953 after Watson and Crick published a paper on the structure of DNA • B. In 1975 after DNA sequencing began with DNA polymerase • C. In 1986 over a beer following a genetics conference • D. In 2003 after the human genome project was complete

  5. Quiz 1 • When was the term genomics first coined? • A. In 1953 after Watson and Crick published a paper on the structure of DNA • B. In 1975 after DNA sequencing began with DNA polymerase • C. In 1986 over a beer following a genetics conference (geneticist Dr. Tom Roderick) • D. In 2003 after the human genome project was complete

  6. What is Genomics? • Merriam-Webster • Genomics (n)- a branch of biotechnology concerned with applying the techniques of genetics and molecular biology to the genetic mapping and DNA sequencing of sets of genes or the complete genomes of selected organisms using high-speed methods, with organizing the results in databases, and with applications of the data (as in medicine or biology)

  7. What is Genomics? • Wikipedia • Genomics is a discipline in genetics that applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the function and structure of genomes (the complete set of DNA within a single cell of an organism)

  8. What is Genomics? • World Health Organization • Genomics is defined as the study of genes and their functions, and related techniques. • The main difference between genomics and genetics is that genetics scrutinizes the functioning and composition of the single gene where as genomics addresses all genes and their inter relationships in order to identify their combined influence on the growth and development of the organism.

  9. Why Should I Care? • Genes have a large effect in susceptibility to chronic diseases • Sickle Cell disease • GAG replaced by GTG; valine replaces glutamine • Cystic Fibrosis • 66% of cases from CFTR-phenylalanine 508 deletion • Familial Dysbetalipoproteinemia • Chromosome 19 ApoE2 mutation

  35. Genomics- 2000-2014 • EGAPP • OPHG • Epigenetics • Genomics Testing • Translational Applications

  36. EGAPP • Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention • The EGAPP Working Group was established in 2005 to support the development of a systematic process for assessing the available evidence regarding the validity and utility of rapidly emerging genetic tests for clinical practice.  This independent, multidisciplinary panel prioritizes and selects tests, reviews CDC-commissioned evidence reports and other contextual factors, highlights critical knowledge gaps, and provides guidance on appropriate use of genetic tests in specific clinical scenarios. http://www.egappreviews.org/

  37. EGAPP • Founded from the CDC Public Health • CDC is interested because 2000 tests exists and many recent one have population-based applications • For diseases, this genetic screening needs to be evaluated if cost effective for entire populations • If genomics affects clinical practice, must be evidence based

  38. OPHG • Office of Public Health Genomics • Classifies which genetic tests if implemented properly • Developed, maintains and updates the Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Knowledge Base http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/about/AAG/index.htm

  39. OPGH Three-tiered Framework • Tier 1- recommended for clinical used based on systematic assessment and validity • Current 47 tier on genomic applications

  40. OPGH Three-tiered Framework • Tier 2- May be useful for informed decision making in clinical practice, based on synthesized evidence of validity and promising utility

  41. OPGH Three-tiered Framework • Tier 3- Not ready for clinical use due to validity or utility not established, or systematic assesment finding harms outweigh benefits • Might be candidates for population or clinical research

  42. What is Epigenetics? • Something to do with: • Genes? • Genetics? • Epidemiology? • Science?

  43. Epigenetics • All cells in your body have the same DNA • Why do these cells appear phenotypically different? • “Heritable changes in gene activity that are NOT caused by DNA sequence changes” • DNA methylation and histone modifications • Cellular differentiation • Methylation of mRNA http://www.commed.vcu.edu/Chronic_Disease/genetics/whatisepigenetics.pdf
