3 You are a computational biochemist participating in this international effort. Your project is to identify and investigate the function of the unknown human gene, labeled FABP6. Neither thestructure of the protein for which this gene codes, nor its function, is known. The sequence of the gene was submitted to the sequence database GenBank. GenBank is the NIH geneticsequence database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences.Genetic material provides a wealth of information that can provide insight intothe structure and function of the protein it codes during translation. Numerouscomputational methods have been developed to analyze, compare, contrast,and characterize gene and protein sequences. In this case study, you will usea Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) sequence alignment andanalysis and information obtained from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) toidentify and investigate the sequence of the unknown gene and the resultingprotein it codes.ORIGIN: Gene sequence1 ТАССGAAАGT GGCCGTТСАА GCTCTАССТС ТСАСТСТТСТ ТААТАСТАСТ САAGTACTТC61 GAGGAACCCT AGAGTCGCTACATTAGCTT TTCCGGGCGT TGAAGTTCTA GCAGTGCCTC121 CACGTCGTCC TACCCGTCCT GAAGTGAACC AGGGTCGTGA TGAGGCCCCC GGTGTGGTACThe Human Genome Project is an international scientific effort with the goalsof determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up humanDNA and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome.

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is helping physicians diagnose a genetic condition that has defied diagnosis by traditional means. The implication here is that exons in the nuclear genome are sequenced in the hopes that, by comparison with the genomes of nonaffected individuals, a diagnosis might be revealed. (a) What are the strengths and weaknesses of this approach? (b) If you were ordering WES for a patient, would you also include an analysis of the patient’s mitochondrial genome?
Transcriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses. The 10 items below are a scrambled listing of the steps used in the two procedures. Identify the steps involved in RNA seq from the list below. Use the numbers in the list to refer to each step. Once the steps for RNA seq have been identified, write the steps in the order in which they are performed during the experiment. (1) DNA sequencing (2) Allow for hybridization and wash excess cRNA. (3) Mix labeled cRNA with array chip. (4) PCR amplification (5) Measure fluorescence intensity to determine abundance of transcripts. (6) Add labeled cRNA at each microarray location. (7) Map cDNA sequences to the genome of the organism to determine identity and abundance of transcripts. (8) mRNA isolation from cells (9) Prepare fluorescently labeled cRNA probes (10) cDNA synthesis
Some synthetic biologists have proposed creating an entirely new, freeliving organism with a minimal genome, the smallest set of genes that allows for replication of the organism in a particular environment. This genome could be used to design and create, from “scratch,” novel organisms that might perform specific tasks, such as the breakdown of toxic materials in the environment. Q. How might the minimal genome required for life be determined?
Describe the main technique for amplifying a segment of DNA (like the one you suspect is involved in Lee’s cancer) from a complex mixture of genomic DNA. Remember that the entire human genome sequence is known. (Hint: This is a technique that is commonly used by laboratories that do genetic testing and various other applications of molecular biology.)
Below is a sequence of 540 bases from a genome. What information would you use to find the beginnings and ends of open reading frames? How many open reading frames can you find in this sequence? Which open reading frame is likely to represent a protein- coding sequence, and why? Which are probably not functioning protein-coding sequences, and why? Note: for simplicitys sake, analyze only this one strand of the DNA double helix, reading from left to right, so you will only be analyzing three of the six reading frames shown in Figure 19.4.
