Patent Abstract:
An algorithm has been developed to identify four DNA sequences of 20 bases or more that form a structure called a connectron. Two sequences C1 and C2 are adjacent to each other. These sequences are expressed as RNA in the 3′UTR of some genes in many prokaryotic, archea and eukaryotic genomes. The other half of a connectron is two DNA sequences T1 and T2 that are on the same chromosome and range in distance from each other by about 1 kb to 105 kb. The C1 sequence is identical to the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence is identical to the T2 sequence. C1/C2 and T1-T2 can be on different chromosomes. The C1/C2 RNA sequence of the gene transcript finds the two double-stranded DNA sequences T1 and T2. The single-stranded RNA and double-stranded DNA then form a triple-stranded Hoogsteen helix of the RNA/DNA/DNA variety. Because the C1 sequence is adjacent to the C2 sequence, the T1 sequence is made spatially adjacent to the T2 sequence in a compact X-shaped structure. Chromatin particles form as compact 30 nm assemblies in the DNA between T1 and T2 thus eliminating the intervening genes from promotion and expression. Connectrons remove sets of genes from expression and thus modulate the behavior of many types of cells.

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION  
       [0001]    The present application is the subject of Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/208,650 filed Jun. 2, 2000 entitled ALGORITHMIC DETERMINATION OF CONNECTRONS FOR THE HIGH LEVEL REGULATION OF GENE EXPRESSION. 
     
    
     
       INTRODUCTION  
         [0002]    RNA introduced into a cell by a virus is now known to trigger a cellular defense mechanism known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS). If the viral RNA sequence matches a sequence within the cell&#39;s genome the associated genes are turned off or silenced. This phenomenon is also called ‘RNA interference’ or RNAi. A single-stranded RNA can interact with another single-stranded RNA (known as antisense RNA). The single-stranded RNA can also form a triple-stranded complex with double-stranded DNA. This triple-stranded complex is known as a Hoogsteen helix. This patent application shows how two specific adjacent RNA single-stranded sequences (called C1 and C2—for Control Sequence 1 and Control Sequence 2) interact with two distant double-stranded DNA sequences (called T1 and T2—for Target Sequence 1 and Target Sequence 2) to form a tetradic relationship which is called a “connectron”. The two distant DNA double-stranded sequences (T1 and T2) must be on the same chromosome in a genome and they must be between about 1 kb and 105 kb of each other. The adjacent single-stranded RNA sequences (C1/C2) can be on the same or different chromosome as the T1 and T2 sequences. The C1 sequence is identical to the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence is identical to the T2 sequence. The connectron acts to stabilize the double-stranded DNA by allowing 30 nm chromatin particles to form. Genes that lie between the T1 and T2 sequences when wrapped up in 30 nm chromatin particles are not open to promotion and expression. The connectron (i.e. the tetradic relationship between the T1-T2 sequences and C1/C2 sequences) provides a general explanation for PTGS. A connectron can implemented by RNA sequences, PNA (Peptide Nucleic Acid) sequences or by a zinc-finger DNA Binding Protein (DBP) specific to the T1 and T2 sequences.  
           [0003]    Characteristically the adjacent C1/C2 sequences lie in the 3′UTR of a gene. The T1 and T2 sequences do not lie within the translated region of any gene. These sequences “surround” one or more genes. There are, however, T1 and T2 sequence pairs that surround one or more C1/C2 sequences that are not 3′UTR to any gene. These are called “geneless connectrons”. There may be promoter sequences that cause the transcription of these 3′UTR sequences.  
           [0004]    A computer-based algorithm that is similar to the algorithm used in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,205,404 has been developed to determine the connectron structure of any genome. This algorithm determines the existence of all the connectrons in the genomic DNA. Connectrons exist in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes, multi-celled eukaryotes, plants and higher animals. Connectron relationships exist between prokaryotes and their plasmids. The geneless connectrons provide a possible mechanism for forming a hierarchy of gene expression control that will produce an understanding of cell differentiation and tissue development.  
           [0005]    Each connectron is a unique tetrad of sequences. Each connectron changes the expression of the genes between the T1 and T2 sequences. The C1 sequence (which is equivalent to the T1 sequence) and the C2 sequence (which is equivalent to the T2 sequence) are determined by the invention described in this patent application. In general, the tetrad of connectron sequences can be patented because the structure of matter is known and the function of specific gene expression modulation is also known. Gene expression modification can be produced by introducing antisense RNA or PNA to interact C1/C2 RNA sequences or zinc-finger DBPs to interact with the T1 and T2 sequences. Using connectrons it will be possible to modify cellular and tissue behavior in a very general manner.  
           [0006]    Examples will be given from different genomes to illustrate that the connectron is a perfectly general and universal concept.

           [0022]    Intron—Any region of mRNA lying between two exons which is not used to code for proteins. The introns are edited out of the initial RNA transcript to form the mature mRNA.  
           [0023]    3′ UTR—The untranslated 3′ end of an mRNA is beyond the end of the last exon. A stop codon in the mRNA causes the ribosome to stop the translation of mRNA into protein.  
           [0024]    End of translation—The 3′ end of the 3′-most exon.  
           [0025]    Translated region—Any collection of exons and introns.  
           [0026]    Gene—Any DNA region that codes for a protein. Introns do not occur in prokaryotic genes and they sometime fail to occur in eukaryotic genes. A typical model of a gene is  
                         
 
           [0027]    Positive strand gene—Any gene in which the features run 5′ to 3′ on the positive strand  
           [0028]    Negative strand gene—Any gene in which the features run 5′ to 3′ on the negative strand  
           [0029]    C1 sequence—Any positive or negative strand DNA sequence of 20 bases or more.  
           [0030]    The C2 sequence must occur in the same chromosome as the C1 sequence.  
           [0031]    C2 sequence—Any positive or negative strand DNA sequence of 20 bases or more. The C1 sequence must occur in the same chromosome as the C2 sequence.  
           [0032]    C1/C2—Any positive or negative strand DNA sequence of 40 or more bases such that the C1 sequence is adjacent to the C2 sequence  
           [0033]    T1 sequence—Any positive or negative strand DNA sequence of 20 bases or more that is on the same chromosome as the T2 sequence. The T1 and T2 sequences must be between about 1 kb and 105 kb apart.  
           [0034]    T2 sequence—Any positive or negative strand DNA sequence of 20 bases or more that is on the same chromosome as the T1 sequence. The T2 and T1 sequences must be between about 1 kb and 105 kb apart.  
           [0035]    Last exon gap or Gap-Distance—The number of bases between the end of transcription and the beginning of the C1/C2 sequence. In prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes this gap can range from no bases to 500 bases. In multi-celled eukaryotes the gap can be as large as 10,000 bases.  
           [0036]    Poly-adenylation signal—A number of Adenosine (A) bases are added to the mRNA at the end of the 3′UTR.  
           [0037]    Possible Connectron—Any set of T1, T2 and C1/C2 sequences such that the C1 sequence is identical to the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence is identical to the T2 sequence. The promoter of some gene causes the mRNA of the gene to be expressed. The mRNA is edited to eliminate the introns. The whole mRNA including the 3′UTR can move about in the cell or the nucleus of the cell. The C1/C2 RNA that is part of the 3′UTR moves to the T1 and T2 DNA sequences. A triple-stranded complex of the DNA and the RNA forms such that the C1 sequence forms hydrogen bonds with the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence forms hydrogen bonds with the T2 sequence.  
           [0038]    Because the C1 sequence is adjacent to the C2 sequence, the T1 sequence is brought physically close to the T2 sequence. This produces a loop of between about 1 kb and 105 kb in the DNA. Histone proteins reduce the length of the DNA by binding 200 bases. Histone/DNA complexes form six-fold symmetry chromatin assemblies. The diameter of the chromatin assemblies is approximately 30 nm.  
           [0039]    Real Connectron—Any Possible Connectron which is within the Gap-Distance of some gene  
           [0040]    Homologous connectron—The T1 sequence and the T2 sequence are on the same chromosome as the C1/C2 sequence  
           [0041]    Heterologous connectron—The T1 sequence and the T2 sequence are on a chromosome different from chromosome of the C1/C2 sequence  
           [0042]    Permanent connectron—Any C1/C2 sequence, which is 3′ UTR to some gene that is not surrounded by any T1 and T2 sequence pairs  
           [0043]    Transient connectron—Any C1/C2 sequence, which is 3′ UTR to some gene that is surrounded by one or more T1 and T2 sequence pairs  
           [0044]    Self-limiting connectron—Any C1/C2 sequence which is 3′UTR to some gene that is surrounded by the T1 and T2 sequences such that C1=T1 and C2=T2  
           [0045]    Geneless connectron—Any C1/C2 sequence which is not 3′UTR to some gene but is surrounded by some T1 and T2. A promoter may lie 5′ to the C1/C2 sequence.  
           [0046]    Bidirectionality of Connectron Excitation—A C1/C2 short loop on one strand selects a T1-T2 long loop pair on the same or the opposite strand. The C1/C2 short loop has a complementary C1′/C2′ sequence on the opposite strand. Similarly the T1-T2 long loop pair has a complementary long loop pair T1′-T2′. Wherever a C1/C2, T1-T2 tetrad exists there is a complementary C1′/C2′, T1′-T2′ tetrad. The C1/C2 short loop can be transcribed as a 3′UTR to a gene on the same strand. The C1′/C2′ short loop which is on the strand opposite to the C1/C2 short loop can also can be transcribed as a 3′UTR to a gene on the same strand. There are four possible models of action  
                                                  T1         T2      gene− C1/C2               + strand ---------------------------------------------           − strand ---------------------------------------------                                  T1         T2           + strand ---------------------------------------------           − strand ---------------------------------------------                                              C2/C1 − gene                       + strand ---------------------------------------------           − strand ---------------------------------------------                         T2′        T1′         C2′/C1′− gene                                                 gene − C1′/C2′           + strand ---------------------------------------------           − strand ---------------------------------------------                   T2′           T1′          
 
           [0047]    Of course, the short loops and the long loops do not have to be on the same chromosome.  
           [0048]    Hierarchy of connectron action—When a C1/C2 is expressed it forms a T1-T2 loop by forming a connectron. The C1/C2 sequence does not have to be on the same chromosome as the T1 and T2 sequences. This provides a way of causing interaction between chromosomes. When the T1-T2 loop forms, any genes in that loop region which had been expressing C1/C2 sequences in their 3′UTRs, now cease expressing the C1/C2 sequences. The connectrons formed by these C1/C2 sequences will cease to exist after some time thus opening up the genes inside the respective T1-T2 loops to expression. The hierarchy of connectron action is alternates between repression and expression. The connectron hierarchies can be of any depth.  
           [0049]    One-to-Many connectron action—One C1/C2 sequence can form connectrons in many different places on many different chromosomes. The only requirement is that C1=T1 and C2=T2. This makes it possible for one expression event to control the expression of many genes on different chromosomes.  
           [0050]    Many-to-One connectron action—C1/C2s that come from many different places on many different chromosomes can form a connectron for a specific T1-T2 sequence pair. The only requirement is that C1=T1 and C2=T2. This makes it possible for many different expression events to control the expression of one set of genes on a particular chromosome.  
           [0051]    Many-to-Many connectron action—The arrangement of C1/C2s and T1-T2s across chromosomes can form a complex web of gene expression control relationships.  
           [0052]    Percentage of the Genome Regulated by Connectrons—Since the connectrons for a sequenced genome can be calculated, the percentage of the genome that is open to connectron regulation can be known.  
           [0053]    Emergent Property—The network of connectrons in any genome emerges from a knowledge of the complete DNA sequence of the genome. Because both the C1/C2 sequences and the T1-T2 sequences can be any place in the genome, the whole genomic sequence must be known before all the connectrons can be determined.  
           [0054]    Paradigm Shift—For the past fifty years since the discovery by Watson and Crick of the double-helical nature of DNA, the reigning paradigm for scientific discovery has been the study of one gene and its effects on the behavior of a cell. The advent of genomic sequencing and this invention of connectrons that emerge from the whole genome will produce a shift in the way scientists view biological systems and the way they formulate and execute experiments. The many-to-many relationships between the connectrons means that there are many ways in which the expression of a set of genes can be modulated. The multiplicity of control pathways means produces a system stability that makes it possible for biological systems to be stable for long periods of evolutionary time. The thinking that goes into formulating scientific experiments will have to change to accommodate the changes in understanding that will be induced by the application and extension of this patent application.  
           [0055]    Hierarchy of DNA Structuring—The DNA of a cell&#39;s genome is structured in a hierarchy of six levels. FIGS. 1, 2 and  3  have been adapted from The Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts, Bray, Lewis, Raff, Roberts and Watson [third edition pages 354, 345 and 348]. As shown in FIG. 1, the double stranded DNA is level 1. The double-stranded DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form a chromatin particle that is level 2 of the hierarchy. Level 2 is described as “beads-on-a-string” in FIG. 1. The chromatin particles are packed in a six-fold symmetry as shown in FIG. 2 a  and FIG. 2 b . These six-fold assemblies have a diameter of 30 nm. Each 30 nm assembly contains from 18 (i.e. 6*3) to 30 (i.e. 6*5) chromatin particles. The 30 nm assemblies aggregate into large loops which range in length from 5,000 bases to 100,000 bases of DNA. The size of these large loops as shown in FIG. 1 is approximately 300 nm. These large loops constitute level 4 of the structuring hierarchy. As shown in FIG. 1, level 5 of the DNA structuring hierarchy many large loops are condensed to form a structure which is approximately 700 nm in diameter. The complete chromosome that constitutes level 6 of the hierarchy is composed of two very long sections of level 5 DNA.  
           [0056]    Model of Chromatin Structure—The level 4 structure of DNA as shown in FIG. 1 ranges in length from 5,000 to 105,000 bases of DNA. FIG. 3 shows that proteins are thought to connect portions of the long loops formed by the 30 nm particles to form a chromosome axis. These condensed long loops are described as chromomeres in The Molecular Biology of the Cell.  
         PRIOR ART  
         [0057]    The chromomere model of DNA structuring was presented by N. A Resnik, et al.[1] and is based on electron microscopic data. There are more recent papers studying a variety of genomes with electron microscopy but no equivalent study of chromomeres has been done on a fully sequenced genome.  
           [0058]    A recent News Feature in Nature by T. Gura [2] described the discovery of post-transcriptional gene silencing in which viral RNA interacts with the transcribed RNA of the cell to silence the expression of genes. This article describes experiments in  C. elegans  and  D. megalomaster  in which RNA that is complementary to mRNA introduced into a cell. This “antisense” RNA has the effect of turning off the expression of one or more genes. The introduced complementary RNA produces an “RNA interference” called RNAi.  
           [0059]    Thomas Werner and his colleagues at Genomatix in Munich, Germany have developed an approach to understanding what they call “Matrix Attachment Region” (MAR). FIG. 5 shows their interpretation of the structure of DNA surrounding a gene. The following description of the MAR is copied from the Genomatrix web site  
           [0060]    “Matrix Attachment Regions (MARs) MARs are sequence regions that are responsible for the attachment of genomic DNA to the nuclear matrix or scaffold. Transcription absolutely requires anchorage of genomic DNA to the nuclear matrix.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0156]    A connectron is a relationship among four DNA sequences. Each sequence must be at least 20 bases long. There is a report by Sharp and Zamore [3] that RNA sequences of “about length 25” are important as sources of RNAi. 27 bases were actually used as the minimum length of each of the sequences. The T1 sequence is on one strand of some chromosome in a genome. The T2 sequence is on the same strand of the same chromosome as the T1 sequence. The T1 and T2 sequences (which are each at least 20 bases in length) must be at least 5,000 bases distant from each other but they can not be more than 105,000 bases distant from each other. The C1 sequence and the C2 sequence (which are each at least 20 bases in length) are adjacent to each other on some strand of some chromosome in the genome. The C1/C2 sequences—called the “short loop”—can be on the same strand as the T1 and T2 sequences or they can be on the opposite strand. The C1/C2 sequences of the short loop can be on the same chromosome as the T1 and T2 sequences but they can also be on a different chromosome in the genome. When a genome has only one chromosome, then the point is moot. Many genomes, of course, have several chromosomes. The C1 sequence is identical to the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence is identical to the T2 sequence.  
         [0157]    The C1/C2 sequence must be on the same strand as a gene, either be directly adjacent to the gene (i.e. a gap of 0 bases) for prokaryotic genomes or at this time be within 10,000 bases for eukaryotic genomes. The size of the gap between the end of the gene and the beginning of the C1/C2 sequence is a variable. The C1/C2 short loop is expressed as the 3′UTR (Un-Translated Region) of the gene. In the case of prokaryotic genes that do not normally have introns, the whole mRNA becomes the active species for connectron formation. In the case of eukaryotic genes, the whole transcript is the active species for connectron formation upon editing of the transcript to eliminate the introns. The whole transcript then can move about in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells or the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Since the C1 sequence is equivalent to the T1 sequence and the C2 sequence is equivalent to the T2 sequence, the C1 RNA can form a Hoogsteen triple-stranded RNA/DNA/DNA helix with the double-stranded T1 sequence. Similarly the C2 RNA can form a Hoogsteen triple-stranded RNA/DNA/DNA helix with the double-stranded T2 sequence. Because the C1 sequence and the C2 sequence are adjacent to each other, the C1/T2 RNA/DNA/DNA Hoogsteen triple helix is brought into physical adjacency to the C2/T2 RNA/DNA/DNA Hoogsteen triple helix. RNA/DNA/DNA hybrid helices are the most stable form of triple helix. RNA double helices, DNA double helices, RNA triple helices and DNA triple helices are all significantly less stable than a RNA/double-stranded DNA triple helix. The stable physical adjacency of the two triple-stranded Hoogsteen helices ensures that the long loop of double-stranded DNA between the T1 sequence and the T2 sequence can then be structured into 30 nm chromatin particles as shown in level 4 of FIG. 1. The genes on either strand of the DNA between the T1 sequence and the T2 sequence when they are structured into the 30 nm chromatin particles are not open to promotion and expression.  
         [0158]    The tetradic relationship between the T1 and T2 sequences that form the long loop and the C1/C2 sequences that form the short loop are called a connectron. The name “connectron” was suggested by J. David Rawn Ph.D. of Towson University. A connectron is possible if the T1, T2, C1 and C2 sequences exist. A connectron is real if the C1/C2 short loop sequence is adjacent to an expressible gene. If the expression of the adjacent gene is inside one or more T1 —T2 long loops then this connectron is said to be transient. If the adjacent gene is not inside any possible T1-T2 long loop then the connectron is said to be permanent. If a connectron is inside of a T1-T2 long loop that has the same sequences (i.e. T1 is really equal to C1 and T2 is really equal to C2) then the connectron is said to be self-limiting. This is true because once the C1/C2 sequence is expressed it forms the T1-T2 long loop that then shuts off the expression of the gene adjacent to the C1/C2 sequence. Self-limiting conectrons can also be called “spike” connectrons since they generate a short-duration spike of the C1/C2 short loop sequence. If a T1-T2 long loop does not contain any genes but it contains C1/C2 short loop sequences then this type of connectrons is said to be geneless. The C1/C2 short loops within a geneless T1-T2 long loop can, of course, control the expression of genes.  
         [0159]    The physical existence and lifetimes of the connectrons must be proved by molecular biological experimentation. This physical experimental process, however, is logically quite separate from the computational experimentation that have been conducted from June of 1999 to May of 2001. The computational search for the existence of connectrons has been extremely positive. These computations have shown that connectrons exist in prokaryotes, in archea, between prokaryotes and their plasmids, in single-celled eukaryotes, in multi-celled eukaryotes, in plants, in higher animals and in humans. All of these features and properties are described in the claims section that follows.  
         [0160]    The connectron invention is very powerful. It depends only on sequence equivalency. The minimum length of the four sequences seems to be about 20 bases. In the calculations shown in this patent application, 27 bases have been used as a minimum. The Nature News Feature [1] says that other scientists have found RNA sequences of length about 25 that have interesting gene silencing properties. The Nature article does not give any mechanism. Because of my algorithm and its use on a variety of genomes, this patent application provides the computational proof that a particular mechanism is highly probable. The connectron invention provides an explanation for how communication occurs with a chromosome as well as between chromosomes in genomes that have more than one chromosome. Since each T1-T2 long loop can contain one or more genes, the connectron invention provides a mechanism for turning on and turning off sets of genes simultaneously. In time, the connectron invention will provide an explanation for how differentiation of how one cell&#39;s behavior differs from the behavior of another adjacent cell. It is already clear from the computational experiments that have been made on  S. cervesiae, C. elegans  and  D. megalomaster  that the number of geneless connectrons increases dramatically as evolution proceeds from single-celled eukaryotes (i.e.  S. cervesiae ) to 1,000 cell eukaryotes (i.e.  C. elegans ) to visible creatures (i.e.  D. megalomaster ). The extension of this evolutionary progress to plants (i.e.  A. thaliania ) for which only three chromosomes are sequenced and humans (i.e.  H. sapiens ) for which only one chromosome is completely sequenced. Although the complete human genome was published in Nature and Science in February of 2001, the NIH-sponsored genomic sequencing results are available for about ⅓ of the bases in the whole genome. The human genomic sequence determined by Celera Genomics, Inc. is available only by subscription. Table 1 shows how the genome size, the number of genes, the number of gene-containing and geneless connectrons and the percentage of genes controlled are related in many different genomes.  
         [0161]    The C1/C2 short loops originate on one chromosome. The T1-T2 long loops can be on the same or different chromosomes. Table 2 which is for yeast ( S. cervesiae ) is a square matrix of how many C1/C2 short loops on a given chromosome are sent to form T1-T2 long loops on other chromosomes. The diagonal of this matrix shows that many chromosomes send connectrons to themselves. The striking feature of this particular table is that chromosome 6 only sends connectrons to chromosome 12 but that it receives connectrons from chromosomes 4,5,7,10,12,13,15 and 16.  
         [0162]    Any tetrad of connectron sequences (i.e. the T1, T2, C1 and C2 sequences) as well as the fact of the adjacency of the C1/C2 short loop sequence to the transcribing gene can be patented because the content of matter and the utility can be exactly described. The utility of a connectron is that the T1-T2 long loop shuts off the expression of the genes that lie between the T1 sequence and the T2 sequence. In the case of geneless connectrons, the utility is of a higher level in that the C1/C2 short loops contained in the higher-level geneless T1-T2 long loop, eventually form other lower-level T1-T2 long loops around a set of genes.  
         [0163]    The invention of connectrons comes at a particularly important time in biological discovery. The geneless connectrons make a many-to-many hierarchical control mechanism possible. It is already clear from the determination of the conectrons for  C. elegans  and  D. megalomaster  that there are as many or more geneless connectrons than there are genes. It has been clear for some time that the number of genes in a genome is not particularly correlated with the size of the genome. FIG. 6 shows that the size of a genome is roughly linearly correlated with the number of connectrons.  
         [0164]    The connectron invention can be used to generate a model of behavior in any cell. The simulation of connectron behavior in different genomes will be the subject of another patent application.  
         [0165]    The connectron invention provides for a rational exploitation of the information contained in the raw genomic DNA sequence by forming a hierarchy of relationships between geneless connectrons, transient connectrons, permanent connectrons, self-limiting connectrons and the expression of genes.  
       DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0166]    The algorithm for the determination of connectrons in any genome or any genome fragment is represented in the following flow diagrams. The Level 0 diagram in FIG. 8 shows the general relationships in a digital computer. The central processor of the digital computer uses the computer program to take genome descriptors, the genomic DNA sequences and the tables of gene features to produce a file of blocking fragments and a file of the optimal connectrons for the genome. The printer serves to make hard copies of the files and this patent application. The level 1 diagram in FIG. 9 shows the three essential steps in the determination of connectrons. The genome is first processed into a blocking fragment file. Then the blocking fragments are used to compute the connectrons for the genome. Finally the potential connectrons are analyzed to determine if the C1/C2 sequences are in the 3′UTR of a gene. The level 2a diagram in FIG. 10 shows the steps required for the processing of the genome into a file of blocking fragments. The genomic DNA sequence is decomposed into 27-base frames for both the positive and negative strands. These fragments are written to the unsorted fragment file. The fragment file is then sorted is then read and formed into groups of equivalent sequences. The (.blk) file contains the sequence and a pointer to the (.gptr) file which contains the pointers to the position of the fragments in the genomes.

         [0172]    The level 2b diagram in FIG. 11 shows the computation of the connectrons. The genome descriptors consist of the number and length of the chromosomes. The algorithm uses an array that represents several facts about each base position in the genome. The level 3a diagram in FIG. 13 shows the setup of the Genome-Usage memory. The gene features are used to prevent the region of the genome that codes for proteins from being used for the connectron sequences (i.e. the T1s, the T2s, the C1s and the C2s). In the level 2a diagram of FIG. 10, the algorithm steps through each chromosome and within each chromosome through each base position looking for acceptable T1-windows of 27 bases. A T1-window can be used to form a connectron relationship if there are two or more instances of this fragment in the blocking fragment file. The computation in the level 3b diagram of FIG. 14 determines if the T1-window is acceptable of not. Once an acceptable T1-window is found, the algorithm (in the level 2a diagram of FIG. 10) looks for acceptable T2-window positions that lie between 5,000 and 105,000 bases from the T1-window. The computation for determining acceptable T2-window positions is done in the level 3c diagram of FIG. 15. Once a pair of T1 and T2 window positions are found, the algorithm looks among the instances of these T1 and T2 sequences for a pair of sequences C1 and C2 that lie within 200 bases of each other on the same chromosome. The computation for determining acceptable C1/C2 windows is shown in the level 3d diagram in FIG. 16. In the level 3e diagram of FIG. 17 the Genome-Usage memory is scanned for the Possible-Connectrons. In the level 2c diagram of FIG. 12 the Possible-Connectrons are scanned to determine if the C1/C2 sequences are within the Gap-Distance of a gene on either the positive or the negative strands. The Real-Connectrons are then written out in several different files including the descriptions in the claims section.  
       EXAMPLES  
       [0173]    The algorithm for the determination of optimal connectrons has been applied to a number of different publicly available genomes. The connectron is a tetradic relationship between four sequence elements—T1, T2, C1 and C2. The claims presented in this section are written by the program NearGene that implements the flow diagram Level 2c of FIG. 12. The examples are written a uniform type of English.

         [0219]    Connectrons exist as tetradic relationships where the sequence T1 is equivalent to the sequence C1 (written T1=C1) and where the sequence T2 equals the sequence C2 (written T2=C2) where T1 and T2 are DNA sequences 20 or more bases in length, where the C1 sequence is adjacent to the C2 sequence, where the T1 and T2 sequences are on the same chromosome, and where the C1/C2 sequences are on the same chromosome as T1 and T2 or where the C1/C2 sequences are on a chromosome different from T1 and T2. The connectron relationship has been found to exist in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes and multi-celled eukaryotes.  
         [0220]    Example of a Prokaryote Connectron— E. coli    
         [0221]    In this example the existence of the T1-T2 (3197-3308) long loop is controlled by three C1/C2 short loops (3307, 3432 and 2218). The T1-T2 long loop controls the expression of 64 genes on chromosome 1 in addition to six C1/C2 (3204, 3206, 3223, 3228, 3301 and 3327) short loops. The C1/C2 short loop 3327 lies outside the range of the T1-T2 long loop (3197-3308) but this C1/C2 is expressed as a 3′UTR to the gene hemG that is within the range of the T1-T2 long loop.

         [0320]    Many different C1/C2 short loops can control the existence of one T1-T2 long loop. The C1/C2 short loops can be on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes from the T1-T2 long loop. This relationship is described as “many-to-one”. This relationship exists in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes and multi-celled eukaryotes

         [0436]    One C1/C2 short loop can control the existence of a many T1-T2 long loops. The C1/C2 short loop can be on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes from the T1-T2 long loops. This relationship is described as “one-to-many”. This relationship exists in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes and multi-celled eukaryotes.

         [0546]    Connectron relationships exist between prokaryotes and their plasmids. These connectrons implement a control mechanism between the two genomes that makes it possible for them to form a symbiotic relationship. In the case of  D. radiodurans  the relationship is not symmetric. The  D. radiodurans  genome sends C1/C2 short loops to the MP1 plasmid.

         [0630]    All of the human genome that has been fully sequenced by both the NIH-lead global sequencing project and the Celera Genomics, Inc. project. The gene descriptors for this chromosome do not yet exist. Without the positions and directions of the genes, it is not possible to select from among the possible connectrons to determine the real connectrons.  
         [0631]    Human chromosome 22 has been processed and there 31,000 possible connectrons.  
         [0632]    The gene descriptors for all the chromosomes of the human genome should become available within the year.

         [0634]    C1/C2 short loops are normally expressed as the 3′UTR of some gene. A class of connectron relationships exist that permit one C1/C2 short loop to control the existence of one or more T1-T2 long loops without being subject to any expression controls other than those of the gene to which the C1/C2 is 3′UTR. These connectron relationships are described as “permanent”. Permanent connectrons exist in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes and multi-celled eukaryotes.

         [0636]    In this example the existence of the T1-T2 (3200-3210) long loop is controlled by a C1/C2 short loop (3432). The expression of this C1/C2 short loop is controlled only by the gene btuB.

         [0680]    A class of connectron relationships exist that permit one C1/C2 short loop to control the existence of one or more T1-T2 long loops such that this C1/C2 short loop is itself subject to expression control by another T1-T2 long loop which surrounds it. These connectron relationships are described as “transient”. Transient connectrons exist in prokaryotes, archea, single-celled eukaryotes and multi-celled eukaryotes.

         [0823]    Normally T1-T2 long loops contain genes whose expression is regulated by the existence of the long loop. When a T1-T2 long loop does not contain any genes it is described as being “geneless”. The existence of the T1-T2 long loop is itself controlled by one or more C1/C2 short loops that may be on the same or different chromosomes. The geneless T1-T2 long loops must contain one or more C1/C2 short loops.
