Document Summary
You are looking at a sequence of dna that is transcribed in both males and females but only translated in females. What kind of sequence is it: 5" utr, bicoid mrna. Made by females to pack it into their eggs but the eggs could be boys or girls. Both girls and boys will translate it: gene on x chromosome, alternatively spliced intron. Which of the follow gene expression components results from transcription of dna and is understood by the cell as rna: transcription terminator hairpin, oncomir. Mirna functions as mrna: sd box, polya tail. Creates something similar to an mirna that interferes with mrna coding for proteins associated with cell cycle regulation (tumor suppressor) Tips a cell towards cancer without mutating dna. Optogenetics provides control of specific neurons at specific times in behaving. Mouse being controlled by shining light onto its brain can control how the mouse moves. Optogenetics in controlling cells targeting specific neurons and controlling their firing.
