The student sets up the assay and analyzes the presence of the oncogene in normal and tumor issue samples (See data below). The student is disappointed to see that the potential oncogene is present at similar levels in both the normal and tumor tissue. Therefore, the student concludes that this gene is not an oncogene. Do you agree

A graduate student who has not taken BIOL 519 thinks they have discovered a new oncogene that could cause breast cancer. The student transfects cells with this oncogene and finds that the cells proliferate uncontrollably. The student next designs a PCR assay that will detect the presence of the oncogene in cancerous breast tissue. The student sets up the assay and analyzes the presence of the oncogene in normal and tumor issue samples (See data below). The student is disappointed to see that the potential oncogene is present at similar levels in both the normal and tumor tissue. Therefore, the student concludes that this gene is not an oncogene. Do you agree with this conclusion? Justify your answer (5-6 senetences max).

- A graduate student isolates two new retroviruses: Virus A and Virus B. To determine whether these viruses could cause cancer, the student infected human cells with each of the viruses and then transfered the infected cells to nude mice to see if the viruses would cause formation of tumors. The student was able to determine by PCR that both viruses are integrated into the genome of the host cells before transplanting cell in mice. The data for this assay are shown in the figure below. Explain how the mechanism of transduction may be different for these two viruses to yield the observed data (limit 4-5 sentences).

- Jackson Wang is a biologist working with the genetics of a thermophilic bacterium. He cloned a heat shock gene from the bacteria for further analysis. After cloning, he isolated the plasmid carrying his gene of interest for sequencing. Jackson finally received the nucleotide sequence of his gene. Explain in detail how he could verify whether the nucleotide sequence matches his gene of interest using the bioinformatics databases available.Cloning Genes Is a Multistep Process In cloning human DNA, why is it necessary to insert the DNA into a vector such as a bacterial plasmid?In selecting target cells to receive a transferred gene in gene therapy, what factors do you think would have to be taken into account?
- The idea behind PCR-based diagnostics is that a very small number of microbial genomes in a patient sample can be multiplied by PCR and more easily detected by the clinical team managing the patient’s care. Also, genetic-based diagnostics are very useful for viral infections because we don’t have biochemical tests, etc. to distinguish one virus from another (remember, viruses are metabolically inactive). However, a lot of work goes into the development of these tests. For instance, PCR requires primers that are complementary to the viral genome that is being copied. If primers are complementary to the target genome, what must scientists know to design primers that bind to the viral genome to be copied? (I mean this to be a general question; don’t look up the details of designing primers)A patient is diagnosed with lung cancer using imaging. To establish the best treatment option, doctors ask to profile the gene expression of the tumor, using a biopsy and microarray analysis. Describe the steps involved in the analysis in detail. The analysis reveals that a new gene therapy could be beneficial to the patient. Explain briefly how gene therapy could be used to cure cancer and detail how the treatment can be formulated for delivery to the patient. To prepare DNA for the gene therapy formulation, it is often important to measure the size of the molecule. Explain how this measurement can be done using agarose gel electrophoresis, taking care to detail the property of the DNA molecule at the basis of the technique. To generate large amounts of DNA to manufacture gene therapy payloads or to be able to see them on gel electrophoresis, specific sequences can be amplified by PCR. For a sequence of a 100 base pairs, calculate the number cycles of PCR required to generate 1 ng of…You are fresh recruits to a molecular biology laboratory, and your new boss has tasked you tostudy mutations in NRAS, a gene that she suspects is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Task A: Polymerase Chain Reaction Master Mix Your first task is to isolate and amplify the NRAS gene from cDNA extracted from differentsamples through PCR. You will need to run a total of 7 PCRs: 3 normal samples, 3 canceroussamples, and 1 negative control. To make things easier in the lab, when running multiplereactions, the components are prepared not individually, but as a master mix—all thecomponents for multiple reactions are prepared in bulk, except for the template DNA, which isadded separately once the master mix has been distributed into individual tubes. The table below lists the different components for PCR, the available stock concentrations of thesecomponents, and the needed working concentrations for the PCR itself. Complete the table bysupplying the needed volumes of each component for a single…
- You’ve made your construct and placed it into E. coli! Congratulations, you have made a transgenic organism. Your investors will want to know about quality control. How will you check that the correct piece of DNA is in your vector? How will you check to make sure the gene is transcribed? How will you check to make sure that the GasP protein is made in E. coli? Your investors are concerned that the GasP protein might not be sufficiently produced under normal laboratory conditions. They suggest controlling the transcription of the gasP gene using a chemical that will “trigger” its transcription. What type of promoter could be used? What chemical will you use to control transcription? How does this method of control work?After cloning is carried out to insert a foreign gene into BL21(DE3), you would like to confirm the expression of the foreign protein in the bacteria using a blotting technique. Briefly describe the steps to achieve your objective with simple illustrations and descriptions.Ihsan is a biologist working with the genetics of a psychrophilic bacterium. He cloned an antifreeze gene from the bacteria for further analysis. After cloning, he isolated the plasmid carrying his gene of interest for sequencing. Ihsan finally received the nucleotide sequence of his gene. Explain in detail how he could verify whether the nucleotide sequence matches his gene of interest using the bioinformatics databases available.
