You have to identify a gene for which a partial sequence (1232 bp) is available, and answer some questions on a specific disease-causing mutation in the gene. Make use of the information in the provided notepad document 'Partial Gene Sequence'. Go to the NCBI website (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), select the BLAST option under Popular Resources, and then select nucleotide BLAST. Copy the DNA sequence from the notepad file into the Query Sequence box and without changing any of the settings, click BLAST.

Ailee is interested to determine the nucleotide sequence of her bacterial heat shock gene. Hence, DNA sequencing needs to be performed for this analysis. One of the earliest methods invented is known as Sanger sequencing. Explain in detail the mechanism of this sequencing technique with the aid of a simple diagram.
A DNA strand was sequenced using the Sanger method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTstRrDTmWI). The reaction tube contained the DNA strand, fluorescently labelled dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddATP – yellow, ddGTP – green, ddCTP – blue, ddTTP - red), deoxynucleotide triphosphates, DNA polymerase, or its Klenow fragment. Synthesis of DNA is allowed to proceed, and the results are shown on the right: 15 14 13 12 11 10 (a) What is the sequence of the copy and the template strands? (b) If the template strand were in the 5'-3' direction, what will be the sequence of the DNA copy? Nucleotide Length

A geneticist is interested in determining the locations of methylated cytosines within a fragment of DNA. She treats some copies of the fragment with sodium bisulfite and leaves some copies untreated. She then sequences the treated and untreated copies of the fragment and obtains the following results. Give the original sequence of the DNA fragment and indicate the locations of methylated cytosines. Sequence without treatment: — AATTGCCCGATCGATTAAGCCA — Sequence with treatment: — AATTGTTTGATCGATTAAGCTA —
