Introduction to Bioinformatics (Fall 2003)
Questionnaire on notes: Regulatory Proteins
(please press SUBMIT button when finished)

I. Basic Information and Miscellaneous

A. Your name 
II. Regulatory protein and transcription of lac
A. How comfortable are you with the role of regulatory protein such as CRP in controlling the onset of transcription?

B. Do you understand how mutation of specific nucleotides in the sequence upstream from a gene might affect the expression of that gene? 

C. How comfortable are you with how expression of lacZ is regulated?

D. Do you understand what a palindromic DNA sequence is and why they might be preferred as the sites recognized by  DNA-binding protein? 

E. Please choose up to three study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ1 SQ2 SQ3 SQ4 SQ5 SQ6 SQ7 SQ8
 
Comments for Section II:
III. Regulation of cyanobacterial genes by environmental nitrogen
A. Do you understand the basis of this scenario, i.e. how regulation of hetQ may explain how cyanobacteria differentiate heterocysts in response to nitrogen starvation? 
 
Comments for Section III:
IV. Simulation
A. Can you list at least one reason why DiceRoll might not accurately predict the results of rolling a real set of dice? 

B. Can you list several reasons why simulating the genome of an organism might not work for some purpose? (Why did I add "for some purpose"?) 

D. Please choose up to three study questions that you would most like discussed in class:

SQ9 SQ10
 
Comments for Section IV:
V. Old Business and Miscellaneous
A. How comfortable do you feel about an overall strategy to modify BlastParser to work on your data? 

B. How confident are you that you have answered or can answer the ultimate question of Scenario I: which proteins are present in the pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 that are not present in harmless E. coli K12? 

C. Put here any miscellaneous comments, questions, suggestions, concerns you may have. E.g., Need 1-to-1 programming help?

 

Thanks!
