Question
Chapter 20, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: The cloning of the human crystallin gene to obtain a sufficient amount of the human crystallin protein.
Concept introduction:
Protein encoding genes express themselves and form functional gene products in the form of proteins. This is known as gene expression. Generally, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used for the amplification of the gene sequence of interest and to synthesize its multiple copies. This gene fragment is then inserted into the expression vector to synthesize the protein encoded by the gene.

Now you have the gene sequence. Now you would like to clone it into an expression vector to grow up in a bacterial system. Because you're going to use bacteria to generate protein from a eukaryote, the mammoth, you need to get rid of introns from your sequence. How do you do that?
Bioinformatically, I look for splice-site sequences and branch-point adenines and predict intron-exon boundaries
I use a comparative genomic approach and use sequence homology with the genome of a closely related species
I use a comparative genomic approach and use sequence homology with the genome of a distantly related species
Both A and B
Both B and C
Why did you bother to identify the introns?
So that I could include them in the sequence to understand intron function.
So that I could exclude them from the sequence because prokaryotes don't have spliceosomal machinery.
So that I could see how introns affect protein folding.
Give typed full explanation
there are about 28,000 copies of zinc finger domains in the human genome, most of them as constituents of transcribed genes. This is a result of what process?
Retro transposition of mobile sequences
Evolutionary conservation, exon duplication and exon shuffling
Evolutionary conversion of leucine zipper, helix-turn-helix, and helix-loop-helix domains into zinc finger domains
Evolutionary selection for proteins that interfere with nucleosome packing
Genes that “jump” with the help of a transposase.
