What is inverse PCR? How are we going to use inverse PCR to help figure out the molecular location of the EP element on Drosophila melanogaster flies?
Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and microarrays can be used to analyze gene expression. A lab studies yeast cells, comparing their growth in two different sugars, glucose and galactose. One student is comparing expression of the gene HMG2 under these two conditions. Which technique(s) could he use and why? Another student wants to compare expression of all the genes on chromosome 4, of which there are approximately 800. What technique(s) could she use and why?
What is a fluorophore? If you wanted to fluorescently label a brain cell, describe one way you could genetically label a brain cell using a transgenic approach and give one way you could genetically label a brain cell using a gene targeting homologous recombination approach.

- A wild type strain of Drosophila was found to carry a transposable element called copia.From this strain (red eyed), a white-eyed strain was obtained in which the copia element hadtransposed to a region on the X-chromosome that corresponded to where the eye-color genemapped. How would you clone the eye-color gene and confirm your discovery?arrow_forwardMost organisms display a circadian rhythm, a cycling of biological processes that is roughly synchronized with day length. In Drosophila, pupae eclose (emerge as adults after metamorphosis) at dawn. a)Using this knowledge how would screen for Drosophila mutants that have an impaired circadian rhythm? b)In each case, how would you clone the genes you identified by mutation?arrow_forwardTraditional gene mapping has been applied successfully to a variety of organisms including yeast, fungi, maize, and Drosophila. However, human gene mapping has only recently shared a similar spotlight. What factors have delayed the application of traditional gene-mapping techniques in humans?arrow_forward
- You are studying a new gene “X” that you think controls skin color in Bearded Dragons. In order to determine what gene X does you need lots of gene X DNA to work with. So, you decide to amplify it through the process known as PCR. You have a forward and a reverse primer that have been designed to gene Xf – a gene in frogs that is similar to the one found in the Bearded Dragon. You are pretty sure that these two primers will work in Bearded Dragons, so you decide to go ahead with the PCR. In frogs, the Forward Xf primer binds gene Xf between nucleotides 32 and 47. The Reverse Xf primer binds between nucleotides 1110 and 1135. What size PCR product would these two primers create if they amplified the frog gene Xf??  bparrow_forwardScientists carried out a microarray analysis to compare the gene expression of normal pancreatic cells to that of cancer cells from a person with pancreatic cancer. The scientists labeled the cDNA from the normal pancreatic cells with green fluorescent nucleotides. They labeled the cDNA from the cancer cells with red fluorescent nucleotides. The two cDNAs were mixed and allowed to hybridize to a microarray. Less p53 activity is found in cancer pancreatic cells than normal cells. What color would the spot for the p53 gene be on the microarray? Red Green Yellow Blackarrow_forwardNext-generation sequencing reveals that six new mutations have occurred in the coding regions of genes in an individual diploid fly.

- You just graduated from college and started working at a biotech startup called Scrofabulous. Your first job assignment is to clone the pig gene for the hormone prolactin. Assume that the pig gene for prolactin has not yet been isolated, sequenced, or mapped; What would be the most useful and economical first step to go about identifying and cloning the pig gene for prolactin? use the amino acid sequence of mouse prolactin to design a pair of degenerate oligonucleotide PCR primers to PCR-amplify the pig prolactin gene. RNAseq the pituitary gland of the pig, the most abundant gene is likely to to be prolactin Conduct a proteome search for peptides that match parts of mouse prolactin protein Sequence the pig genome, then translate the genome to find the gene predicted to encode for prolactin Crystalize the mouse prolactin protein and use Google's DeepMind Al to find the closest amino acid sequence in the pig proteomearrow_forwardIn contrast with the genomic manipulations of animals and plants described in this chapter, human genetherapy is directed specifically at altering the genomes of somatic cells rather than germ-line cells.Why couldn’t or wouldn’t medical scientists try to alter the genome of human germ-line cells?arrow_forwardEach of the following describes a distinctive step in a genomic technology or an experimental design.

- A group of scientists sequenced the genomes of 12 species of Drosophila (Drosophila 12 Genomes Consortium. 2007. Nature 450:203–218). Data on genome sizes and numbers of protein-encoding genes from this study are given in the accompanying table. Plot the number of protein-encoding genes as a function of genome size for the 12 species of Drosophila. Is there a relation between genome size and number of genes in fruit flies? How does this compare with the relation between genome size and number of genes across all eukaryotes?arrow_forwardDiscuss how ultra violet light works as a mutagen.

Describe the phenotypes of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae plates, the first plate is the control yeast, while the second plate has been exposed to low UV light, the third plate has been exposed to high UV light. Normal yeast has round smooth white colonies. Are there any signinifcant differences?arrow_forwardYou receive four strains of yeast in the mail, and the accompanying instructions state that each strain contains a single copy of transgene A. You grow the four strains and determine that only three strains express the protein product of transgene A. Further analysis reveals that transgene A is located at a different position in the yeast genome in each of the four strains. Provide a hypothesis to explain this result.arrow_forward
