10:38 Daniela:

Uhm hello! Are you waiting too or is it just me? :D

10:40 Cecilia:

I'm here!

10:40 Eiman:

Good morning!

10:40 Daniela:

Nice nice

10:40 Daniela:

Goodmorning!

10:41 Daniela:

Have you already thought about things you want to ask?

10:42: Rossella Erminia Ciliberti has just entered this chat
10:42 Cecilia:

yes, I have 1 question about transposome

10:42: Rossella Erminia Ciliberti has left this chat
10:43 Daniela:

Is it about the topic of the last test, the one that wasn't in the textbooks?

10:43 Daniela:

I wanted to ask if the textbook 2 would be talked about in the next lesson

10:43 Daniela:

Maybe you know^

10:44 Cecilia:

No, it's a curiosity about tumor

10:51 Daniela:

How many hours do you all usually take to read a reviev?

10:52 Daniela:

Because I always take so much to study it and I don't know if it's normal XD

10:53 Cecilia:

too much, 3-4 hours, it's because i have to check a lot of word

10:53 Daniela:

Yeah me too

10:54: Kamyab Saberiseyedabad has just entered this chat
10:54 Daniela:

Well, it relieves me knowing I'm not the only one

10:56: Marianna Saviozzi has just entered this chat
10:56 Cecilia:

The only articles I read quickly are those of Koreans, in my opinion they have a sentence structure similar to the Italian one

10:57 Daniela:

That's really interesting! Ahahaha

10:57 Daniela:

From now on I'll look forward to study from korean articles

11:02 Kamyab:

guys can you explain abiut the graphs of the lenght of introns and exons

11:03 Daniela:

Sure, we'll try. What's your doubt?

11:03 Kamyab:

i am a bit confused abiut this part in the video

11:04 Kamyab:

the first things that I want to know that is it directly proportional to the complexity

11:04 Kamyab:

i mean the lenghth of introns and exons

11:04 Kamyab:

both of them

11:06 Daniela:

Yeah. They're directly proportional because you have to think about alternative splicing

11:07 Daniela:

More introns --> More alternative splicing possibilities --> More proteins to be made from the same gene of the same length --> More complexity of the organism

11:07 Kamyab:

also, for the length of exons I have to just comsider the horizontal

11:07: Eiman Elsayed has just entered this chat
11:08 Kamyab:

because it is not mentioned about vertical

11:08 Daniela:

Okay just let me go back to the lesson because I don't get what do you mean for orizontal and vertical

11:10 Daniela:

Do you mean the x and y axes of the graph?

11:10 Cecilia:

If you have a gene with 20 exons, it's possible that you create different constructs by skipping exons, the length of the introns instead I think is irrelevant. Last night we talked about that picture, remember? the 3 proteins originated from the same gene, but with different splicing. if you think that from a gene with 6 exons you can already get a 3 isoform protic, think with one of 20

11:10 Kamyab:

if I am not misteaken the 2 other species are extended in the horizontal but human is extended in the vertical in the

11:11 Cecilia:

protein isoforms*

11:11 Kamyab:

yes daniela

11:12 Daniela:

Oky I got your question

11:12 Daniela:

The graph shows a frequency distibution

11:13 Daniela:

On the vertical axe you have the frequency, shown as a percentage

11:13 Daniela:

On the x axe you have the exon lenght

11:14 Daniela:

The curves reach the highest point at the exon lenght that is more present in the genome of that animal

11:15 Daniela:

You see the frequency curve of Homo sapiens is more high because homo sapiens has got many exons of quite the same lenght (in particularly, of 100 bp, that is where the peak is)

11:15 Kamyab:

ok

11:16 Daniela:

While the other two animals also has got a few number ox exon that are much longer (even 600 bp)

11:16 Kamyab:

And what about the x axe of intron length

11:16 Daniela:

So they're distributed more homogenously through all the possible lenghts

11:17: Eiman Elsayed has left this chat
11:17 Daniela:

It's the same for Intron graph, but instead of using a continous curve, you're using single rectangles

11:18 Daniela:

If you join the top of each rectangle, you'll obtain a curve, for each animal

11:18 Kamyab:

for introns x axe it means that the introns length between 100-2000 kb is much higher than the other parts

11:18 Kamyab:

just it?

11:19 Kamyab:

am I undrestood correctly or not?

11:19 Daniela:

Yes, or better, it means that humans have got the majority of Introns that are 100-2'000 bp long

11:19 Kamyab:

okay

11:19 Daniela:

While for example C.elegans, the blue rectangle, has got the majority of Introns <100 bp long

11:19 Kamyab:

thank you of both of you guys

11:19 Daniela:

of introns <100 bo long

11:20 Daniela:

oh god it doesn't let me write

11:20 Kamyab:

I got it

11:20: Federica Olocco has just entered this chat
11:20 Daniela:

*of introns less than 100 bo long (finally! ahahaha)

11:20 Daniela:

Good ^_^
