Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 26ESP
Recall that when the HGP was completed, more than 40 percent of the genes identified had unknown functions. The PANTHER database provides access to comprehensive and current functional assignments for human genes (and genes from other species).
Go to http://www.pantherdb.org/data/. In the frame on the leftside of the screen locate the “Quick links” and use the “Whole genome function views” link to a view of a pie chart of current functional classes for human genes. Mouse over the pie chart to answer these questions. What percentage of human genes encode transcription factors? Cytoskeletal proteins? Transmembrane receptor regulatory/adaptor proteins?

Complete the following Question and upload a screenshot to this assignment with your unique gene shown. (Use the Snipping Tool to capture a screenshot- it is in the start button and search for snipping tool)
Design an entirely new gene that you have invented.
Using the new Gene Explorer, this gene should (you can make it more challenging if you like):
Produce a protein of at least five amino acids (including the N-terminal Met).
Contain at least one intron.
Tips
1.Use the “Enter New DNA Sequence” button and delete the starting sequence from the entry blank.
2.Type in a promoter, a little DNA, and a terminator; be sure your RNA is made.
3.Click on your gene and add the start codon, coding region, and stop codon; be
sure your protein is made. Type slowly so that the program can keep up.
4. Similarly, add an intron in the coding region and be sure your gene works
Hi, I would like to know which program is used for the graphical presentation of the results of a meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage scans?
From 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).

- The entire genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been sequenced. This sequencing has led to the identification of all the open reading frames (ORFs, gene-size sequences with appropriate translational initiation and termination signals) in the genome. Some of these ORFs are previously known genes with established functions; however, the remainder are unassigned reading frames (URFs). To deduce the possible functions of the URFs, they are being systematically, one at a time, converted into null alleles by in vitro knockout techniques. The results are as follows:15 percent are lethal when knocked out.25 percent show some mutant phenotype (altered morphology, altered nutrition, and so forth).60 percent show no detectable mutant phenotype at all and resemble wild type.Explain the possible molecular-genetic basis of these three mutant categories, inventing examples where possible.arrow_forwardThere is a hypothetical gene related to the nervous system of Drosophila. Describe all the methods, steps, and key substances you need to obtain to use the following techniques in experimental design to study the gene: - In situ hybridization (to find the mRNA) - Immunohistochemistry (to find the protein) - CRISPR-Cas9 (for loss of function) - Expression vector (for gain of function)arrow_forwardBased on the following wild type DNA sequence, indicate if each of the mutations should be classified as : insertion, deletion, missense, nonsense, silent (Use the provided Genetic Code table and remember you have been given DNA sequence).
