3. You find a new site next to your favorite gene through a consensus sequence search. This site has dyad symmetry (inverted repeat). The sequence is: 5 CAAGGTCGCCCTTG 3 Give two possibilities for what this site may be important for; one in which the function is on the level of DNA, and one on the level of RNA. DNA: RNA: You mutate the site to the below, and find that your mutant maintains a wild type phenotype (assume that deleting the site gives you a distinguishable mutant phenotype). Is it more likely that this site functions on the level of DNA/RNA? Briefly explain. 5' CCCTGTCGCCAGGG 3'
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
