Grading Rubric:
15 points total
10% deducted for every day it is late, up to 5 days, after which it converts to a zero.
3 points possible for each of the questions below.
(Note: your TAs will not read anything past the end of the second page.)
In a MAXIMUM 2 page (double spaced) report, answer the following questions.
Bullet-pointed sentences are sufficient, but prose is also acceptable.
1. Describe the results of your BLAST search, including the breadth of organisms that appear to have a PAX-6 homolog, and how many PAX-6 homologs appear to be present in the human genome. 2. Describe the closest human homolog. How long is the protein, and how similar is it to PAX-6 at the protein level?
3. Describe the function and expression pattern of this protein. Where is it typically expressed? What is it thought to do? What is its subcellular localization, and does this make sense in light of its molecular function? 4. What functional domains are present in this protein? What are their proposed functions?
5. Of the four non-human homologs you entered into CLUSTALW, which is most closely related to the human protein? What data supports this hypothesis? |
