Chapter 17, Problem 14P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The incorrect thing in the given experimental design.

Introduction:

The enhancer sequences are regulatory DNA sequences. It binds with the specific proteins which are transcription factors and enhance the transcription of that gene. It is present upstream of a gene.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Another experiment which is used to identify insulators.

Introduction:

An insulator is a genetic boundary element which blocks the interaction between promoters and enhancers. Therefore, insulator determines the set of genes that are influenced by an enhancer.

The ability to selectively modify the genome in the mouse has revolutionized mouse genetics. Outline the procedure for generating a knockout mouse at a specific genetic locus. How can the loxP-Cre system be used to conditionally knock out a gene? What is an important medical application of knockout mice?
