You are a genetic engineer that is working on transcriptional regulation in living organisms. In addition to your day job, you are a video game connoisseur and are designing a cell phone game where participants design the features of an organism that is the best at up-regulating transcription of a gene, WINNING. Participants are able to pick from a variety of organisms, cis regions, trans factors and a variety of enzymes. You want to set the high score on the leader board so you play the game and design the following features into your organism. - You need to describe ALL the features you will be including into your organism as well as what organism you picked for your entry. You need to include all the components of transcription, key features of transcriptional regulation and other features that will increase transcription to the highest level. You need to explain why you included every feature and how each will contribute to increased gene expression. Be creative and error on the side of adding too many features rather than forgetting or not adding enough. With that being said your answer needs to be well structured and concise. Thank you!
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
