Your friend is studying mouse fur color and has isolated the GPCR responsible for determining its color, as well as the extracellular signal that activates the receptor. She finds that, on addition of the signal to pigment cells (cells that produce the pigment determining fur color), cAMP levels rise in […]

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 […]
