Evoluzione cosa significa?Evoluzione questa sconosciuta
in italiano: processo graduale attraverso il quale qualcosa si trasforma in altra piu’ complessa e/o migliore . E’ spesso considerato sinonimo di sviluppo.
in biologia: cambiamenti nel pool genomico di una popolazione che nel corso delle generazioni, attraverso l’azione del caso e della selezione naturale portano alla nascita di nuove specie
quindi non c’e’ un tendere verso qualcosa di migliore. Questo e’ quello che ha disturbato e continua a disturbare molti.

2001Completamento della
sequenza del genoma umano
Il numero di geni stimato nel genoma umano ~30.000 intesi come sequenze codificanti per proteine
SNP’s:Eterozigosi media per il DNA genomico umano: ~0,0037 (0,37%). Cio’ significa che in due alleli circa 1:250-1:1000 basi sono diverse
microsatelliti: variazioni di lunghezza del DNA identificabili via PCR....

… Finally, the high level of instability at the alpha-globin locus contrasts with the rarity in most populations of chromosomes carrying duplications or deletions, pointing to strong selective constraints that maintain alpha-globin gene copy number in human populations.

Analysis of long stretches of available sequence from human chromosomes 22 and X suggest that 5% -10% of the genome may be duplicated (Mazzarella and Schlessinger 1998; Dunham et al. 1999). Sequence homology between duplicated DNA segments provides a chance for misalignment during meiosis, leading to unequal exchange and chromosome rearrangement, by either inter - or intrachromosomal or sister chromatid homologous recombination.This process with divergence between duplicated segments is essential to the generation of diversity and new genes over evolutionary time, although the more typical, short-term effect is genetic disease.
