A researcher is trying to identify regulatory DNA sequences near a gene of interest.
Several modified versions of the gene have been made and tested to detemine their
levels of transcription: highly transcribed (+++); moderate transcription (++); and
very little transcription (+). Deleted portions of the gene and surrounding DNA
sequence are indicated by dashed lines (A, B, and C). Exons are indicated by boxes.
