UIC My Favorite Gene & DNA and mRNA Question

I’m working on a biochemistry multi-part question and need support to help me understand better.

My Favorite Gene

(5 pt) Why you were interested in examining this particular gene?

Part I.DNA & mRNA

(2 pt) From NCBI, find the Chromosome and structure (5’ ? 3’)

(1 pt) Short list of homologues in other organisms (name and species)

(1 pt) Additional gene names

(1 pt) mRNA sequence (5’ ? 3’)

(3 pt) Use the ExPasy online tools to generate the 6 different potential open reading frames from a mRNA (cDNA) sequence

Part II.Protein & domain motifs

(2 pt) Actual Amino acid sequence

(1 pt) Conserved protein domain

(2 pt) Using the BlastP program, do an alignment with the AA sequence with another species.

(1 pt) Using Graphic Summary Tab find function protein motifs

(5 pt) What useful, interesting, or insightful information you obtained from doing this exercise?

(1 pt) PubMed literature search (at least 5)

attached is the guidelines and an example of a previous student.
