Question

I have a bunch of questions like this, so just need answered so I know how to tackle the other problems like this. thank you too whoever can help

Go to the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) http://www.yeastgenome.org/) and view the sequence genome browser. Place cursor on genome position and drag to the 70,000 to 100,000 bp region. You can also move around the genome using the arrows. 6 pts a) What is the longest gene seen in this region: i. It's length: ii. Genome position: iii. Gene function: b) What is the shortest gene in this region: i. It's length: ii. Genome position: iii. Gene function: How many "dubious open reading frames" do you see in this region. List them here: 2 pts c)

Explanation / Answer

From the database, analysing the region between 70,000 to 100,000 bp, the following questions are answered

a. The longest gene is MYO4

i. the lenght of the gene is 4,416 bp

ii. Genome position: chrI:87,855 - 92,270 in the negative strand

iii.Gene function: MYO4 is a myosin motor protein (Myosin-4). This protein is required for mRNA transport, that includes transportation of ASH1 mRNA.

b. Shortest gene: SNC1

i. Its lenght: 467 bp

ii. Genomic position: chrI:87286- 87752 (Positive strand)

iii. Gene function: involved in the fusion between Golgi-derived secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane of the cell. The function of the protein is also proposed to be involved in endocytosis. The protein product of this gene is a member of the synaptobrevin/VAMP family of R-type v-SNARE proteins.
SNC1 has a paralog, SNC2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
