Question
The year is 2442. Protein engineering and molecular biology have become incredibly powerful and all diseases are cured. For once in your life, you gained a genuine scientific interest in something other than cytoskeletal racing. You just finished presenting your data to your coworkers at lab meeting, and none of them shared your enthusiasm. In the future, nobody in the field of biochemistry cares to analyze and discuss meaningful scientific data; everyone prefers to spend lab meeting sharing microscopic highlight videos of the latest, most thrilling cytoskeletal races. In fact, your data-driven presentation was so out of the normal that your coworkers feel that you wasted their valuable time, which has made you very sad.» 4. You return to your lab bench and find yourself thinking about the cell cultures that you were experimenting on yesterday. To cheer yourself up, you start analyzing them under the microscope. Bizarrely, you find that there appear to be two cell populations in your culture, and that one of them is growing way faster than the other. Investigating further, you sequence the genomes of both cell populations and find that there is an unexpected mutation in the fast-growing cells: two genes, BCR and ABL have been fused in a translocation. You have never seen anything like this, and eagerly browse the internet to find answers. You find ancient notes from an undergraduate class in the early 21st century labelled "BIOC 442" that appear to have useful information.*Explanation / Answer
