3.
A newly discovered gene has the following structure:
4.08
H H
1.02
| 2.54 ↑1.02↑
E E
1.67
= EXON
= INTRON
E
10.8 kbp
3.94
3.66
E = EcoRI site
VARMAAN
H = Hindill site
HI
10.811
E E
1.76
1.10
Note: Fragment sizes are not to scale and all fragment
lengths are in kilobase pairs (kbp)
1
Describe how you can determine if the gene is interrupted and, if so, the
number of interruptions by restriction endonuclease analysis and Southern
analysis.
a.
Indicate what enzymes you would use for digestion and the gel
electrophoresis pattern of the restriction fragments (draw a diagram of the gel
with fragment positions, indicate field polarity, and direction of migration).
Please do single and a double digest of the DNA.
b. Draw the appearance of the autoradiogram of the Southern blot after
hybridization with a cDNA probe.
