Chapter 9, Problem 26P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The human library that would contain the highest number of different clones.

Introduction:

There are two types of human libraries. These are genomic library and cDNA library. The human library that contains all the information about the genome of an organism is termed as genomic library. However, the human library that stores information only about the complementary DNA (cDNA) is known as cDNA library.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

Whether any of the human libraries would not overlap with the other.

Introduction:

The genomic library, liver cDNA library, and brain cDNA library are the different types of human libraries. The aim of all these libraries is to store information about the gene sequences.

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The way by which brain cDNA library, liver cDNA library, and genome library differ from each other in terms of starting material for constructing the clones.

Introduction:

The complete genetic material of an organism is termed as the genome. Human libraries are vital for geneticists. They provide detailed information about the genome of an organism.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The reason to sequence many clones from cDNA libraries to annotate the genome.

Introduction:

The process of determining the accurate location of genes and their function is termed as gene annotation. This process also involves the identification of coding and non-coding regions of the genome.

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.
