Gene of unknown function in the mouse genome was investigated with reverse genetic approach Knock out mouse was created was missing particular gene When phenotype of investigated mouse was compared the only difference from the wild-type was mouse kicking other mouse And I know the protein encoded was named KST […]

You will choose a disease or condition that have present or future stem cell treatments (maximum of 4000 words-four pages single space). What systems are affected? How does it affect the body? How many people in the US and/or world are affected with this disease? Briefly discuss the normal function […]

Comp 7/ Bio 40 Project: Reliability of Metagenomics Reads Background In this class, we are studying 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing, in which the sequences read come from one of the hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA genes, which are generally well conserved across prokaryotes. Because of the variability in the […]

If a lipid raft is typically 70 nm in diameter and each lipid molecule has a diameter of 0.5 nm, about how many lipid molecules would there be in a lipid raft composed entirely of lipid? At a ratio of 50 lipid molecules per protein molecule (50% protein by mass), […]
