Chapter 18, Problem 16P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The place in the genome where a gene trapping construct can be integrated efficiently for the expression of GFP (Green fluorescent protein).

Introduction:

The enhancer trapping technique was developed by researchers for the very first time in Drosophila. This technique is utilized for finding enhancers in the genome of the organism.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Whether the genome of all mice should be integrated in a way which is described in the previous part.

Introduction:

A similar type of technique called gene trapping is used in the case of mice. In this technique a particular exon codes for a reporter type of protein such as GFP.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The way by which obtained information about genes varies in enhancer trapping and gene trapping techniques.

Introduction:

The GFP gene is incorporated or integrated randomly at different locations in the chromosomes of ES cells.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The method among gene trapping and enhancer trapping which can be used to produce a mutant allele of a particular gene adjacent to the integration site.

Introduction:

The constructs of DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) are incorporated into the ES cells of the mouse. Majority of recombination events occurs at the random sites in such cases, and also the homologous recombination is usually rare.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
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.
