Genetic Code Milestone:Map of Chromosome 22

Published: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1999

LONDON: The first map of a human chromosome was unveiled by an international team of scientists Wednesday, marking a milestone in the attempt to decipher the entire genetic makeup of human life.

While the world's leaders gathered at Davos last month were nervously chatting about the subprime crisis, rising oil prices, and roiling stock markets, geneticist Craig Venter crammed into a Swiss phone booth and talked to National Public Radio's Science Friday and others about creating the first artificial chromosome.

John Craig Venter, president of Celera, welcomed the announcement Wednesday as "an important milestone" in efforts to map the complete human genome.

The map of chromosome number 22 was pieced together by researchers at Wellcome Trust's Sanger Center in Britain, at Keio University in Japan and at two American universities, the University of Oklahoma and Washington University in St. Louis. The Human Genome Project also involves researchers in France and Germany.

Number 22 is the second-smallest of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in every human cell, holding between 1.6 percent and 1.8 percent of the human genetic code. But the chromosome contains a rich number of genes that are believed to play a role in at least 35 diseases, including congenital heart disease, schizophrenia, mental retardation, leukemia and trisomy 22, the second most common cause of miscarriage, according to Ian Dunham, the biochemist who led the research effort at the Wellcome Trust.

The mapping of chromosome 22 revealed 679 genes, of which 55 percent were previously unknown in humans. Scientists believe further work on the map may raise the total number of genes to around 1,000. There are still 11 gaps in the chemical sequence of the chromosome that could not be identified with existing technology, but the map is 97 percent complete.

The information from the $3 billion Human Genome Project has already enabled researchers to develop tools for diagnosing a predisposition to certain diseases, and to test biological therapies to replace or correct faulty genes without some of the debilitating side effects of conventional drugs.

The number 22 also has a profound Biblical meaning. The 22nd and last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is Tav, with the sound of 'T'. Before the Jews picked up new 'fonts' in Babylonia Tav was written as + in Phoenicia and as x by the Hebrews, in other words as a cross. The cross is the meaning of 22. That is why there are 66 books in the Bible, 3 x 22. The Bible hints at the 3 crosses (22) of Calvary. Of those 66 books 44 have less than 22 chapters. Exactly 22 books have 22 chapters or more. The last (66th) book of the Bible - Revelation - ends with chapter 22.

On the cross Jesus allegedly said, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, thus quoting Psalm 22. Christians consider Psalm 22 as the Psalm of the Cross.

BTW...do you know what they choose chromosome 22 to map and manipulate first. Its the shortest, thats right, the smallest, the easiest to map. That is science for you, common sense. Although why they call it common i don't know.

Chromosome 22 is the second smallest of the human autosomes. The short arm (22p) contains a series of tandem repeat structures including the array of genes that encode the structural RNAs of the ribosomes, and is highly similar to the short arms of chromosomes 13, 14, 15 and 21. The long arm (22q) is the portion of human chromosome 22 that contains the protein coding genes and this is the region that has now been sequenced

Chromosome 21, the smallest chromosome in the human genome, has become only the second human chromosome to be fully sequenced.
