Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The human gene that best matches the query sequence and observes only at the first entry, which corresponds to the first entry under the descriptions.
Introduction:
The genome is the complete DNA set present in the organism. BLAST is a bioinformatic tool used in the analysis of data obtained from DNA sequencing.
b.
To determine:
The exact match and to choose “mouse genomic + transcript” as the database to search.
Introduction:
The match between the sequence of two different organisms shows the evolutionary relationships between them.
c.
To determine:
The gene conserved in the mouse and the way in which it is conserved.
Introduction:
The gene which is same throughout evolution are the conserved genes. The conserved gene is unique.

Genetics: From Genes to Genomes
- Align two sequences: horizontal – GGAATGG, vertical – ATG, m=1, mm = 0, g=-1. Use the table below for the NW matrix. Write down and score all optimal global alignments. Complete the NW matrix below and show the alignment paths. Use the arrows and circles for the matrix and paths. Click the shapes and move them using your keyboard arrow keys (or drag). Click the shapes and then right-click to copy/paste or click and use Ctrl + C to copy, then Ctrl + V to paste (in Windows MS Word). 0000 Align and score 4 optimal alignments here. the first line, v sequence in the second line and Each alignment should have h sequence individual scores for each alignment position in the third line.arrow_forwardFrom the results of your BLAST search you can link to the GENE entry for one of your top hits. This link is located under the “Related Information” heading at the right hand side of each displayed alignment (i.e. scroll down to the “Alignments” section). QUESTION What is the “Official Symbol” and “Official Full Name” for this gene?arrow_forwardIf you have access to the necessary computer software, make asequence file and analyze it in the following ways: What is thetranslated sequence in all three reading frames? What is the longest open reading frame? Is the sequence homologous to any known sequences? If so, does this provide any clues about the function of the sequence?arrow_forward
- You wish to align a 300 bp nucleotide sequence to a genome. Which of the following pairwise sequence alignment algorithms is BEST suited for this task? Global alignment or Local alignment? Please explain or elaborate why you chose this alignment algorithm.arrow_forwardWhat is the length in AA’s of the LilP protein? Assume fMet is NOT CLEAVED. Enter just the number, nothing else! Write out the sequence of the polypeptide in AA: use the three letter notation, e.g. Met-Ser-Pro- A lilP mutant called lilPXS is isolated that produces a truncated polypeptide of only 6 AA in length. Describe a single basepair DNA change that would lead to this truncated version of the protein. Multiple options are possible (100 words max.)arrow_forwardA protein has the following amino acid sequence: Met-Tyr-Asn-Val-Arg-Val-Tyr-Lys-Ala-Lys-Trp-Leu-Ile-His-Thr-Pro You wish to make a set of probes to screen a cDNA library for the sequence that encodes this protein. Your probes should be at least 18 nucleotides in length. Q. Which amino acids in the protein should be used to construct the probes so that the least degeneracy results?arrow_forward
- For the following sequence please design an 18 base pair forward primer. ATGGCTGATAAGATAGAGAGGCATACTTTCAAGGTCTTCAATCAAGATTTCGAAAAAGAGCTGGAGTTTGGATTAGATAGAAAATATTTTTAGarrow_forwardA lilP mutant called lilPXS is isolated that produces a truncated polypeptide of only 6 AA in length. Describe a single basepair DNA change that would lead to this truncated version of the protein. Multiple options are possible(100 words maximum)arrow_forwardBelow is a sequence of 540 bases from a genome. What information would you use to find the beginnings and ends of open reading frames? How many open reading frames can you find in this sequence? Which open reading frame is likely to represent a protein- coding sequence, and why? Which are probably not functioning protein-coding sequences, and why? Note: for simplicitys sake, analyze only this one strand of the DNA double helix, reading from left to right, so you will only be analyzing three of the six reading frames shown in Figure 19.4.arrow_forward
