The process by which RNA-Seq analysis can be used to find the components of Vibrio . fischeri quorum-sensing pathway and determining if any of the components of the pathway have escaped detection. Introduction: Vibrio . fischeri is a gram-negative bacteria having the ability of bioluminescence. These bacteria utilize quorum sensing to regulate the gene expression in response to changes in the cell density. RNA-sequencing is a technique used to study and analyze the expression of a full range of messenger RNA or transcriptome. It provides the ability to observe the undetected changes that occur in diseased states.

Consider the gal10D56 reporter gene. In 300 words or fewer, describe 1) the role of GAL7 in galactose metabolism and its importance for cell function 2) the mutation present in the gal10D56 reporter gene 3) the consequence of this mutation for GAL7 expression in wild type cells, 4) the mechanism by which certain mutations can suppress the effects of gal10D56, and 5) the specific purpose for using this reporter gene.

A hypothetical gene for cephalosporin resistance is found to be carried by a transposon. Explain what a transposon is. Then explain how the cephalosporin resistance could be horizontally transferred between organisms by transformation, conjugation, and transduction. What steps/events would have to occur to allow the transposon to be transferred by each method. Also, explain how it could be transferred vertically between organisms.
