Predict what would happen to the repressilator inside a single bacterium when stationary cells were placed in fresh medium. Is your prediction testable? Design this experiment. How can a biological clock outlive its host cell? Why did they need to design proteins that are rapidly degraded by cells? What would have happened if the proteins were all long-lived? Go to the MIPS site and enter the names of the two deleted genes: Rnr1 and Rps24a. What do they have in common? What is an E value? Are the hit numbers significantly different? How do you fit a line to data? How do you know if the phylogenetic tree is correct? How can you tell if base compositions are different? Begin the course with medical case studies to confront the misconception of “one gene, one phenotype. Provide photos and mpeg movies of people who conduct genomic research so students can observe their heterogeneity and “regular person” qualities. permission from Laura Richman permission from Ulf Gyllensten permission from Kevin Campbell and Jim Ervasti permission from Lee Hartwell, Ginger Armbrust, and Pat Brown 1) Describe a genomic method. 2) Describe a known and unknown yeast gene. 3) Describe gene expression profiles for same two genes. 4) Describe proteomics for same two genes.
