The method and its associated technique, through which a researcher can examine the proteins altered by drug calm in a mouse model. Introduction: The proteins expression is an ordered process, in which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is used as a template to transcribe messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) that is further used in order to translate that sequence into proteins. Three nucleotides together form a codon that specifies an amino acid at that particular position. These amino acids together form a primary structure that folds in order to form the secondary and then tertiary and quaternary structure. The expression of the protein is regulated at the transcription step as well as translation step. There are some DNA binding proteins that inhibit the RNA polymerase binding efficiently to the DNA sequence, thus, downregulating the transcription of mRNA. The regulation at translational level can be regulated by the miRNAs (micro RNAs) that base pair with mRNA and inhibit its expression. Other than that, the proteins required for the translational machinery are also regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. The drugs that regulate the expression of specific proteins at translational level do so through the above step or through inhibiting the assembly of ribosomes. The following drug is acting through binding to the DNA or modifying the DNA sequence by acetylation or methylation of the cytosine in the gene. This happens because the down expression is of specific proteins if it was regulated at a translational level all the proteins inside the cell would have been down expression, which is not the case.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?

You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.

You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb? Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
