Questions for the exam will taken (with some modification) from the various Problem Sets, Study Questions, investigations, and companions covered since the beginning of the semester. The following are fair game:

Problem Sets

• Problem Set 1: Molecular Biology
• Problem Set 2: Computational Investigations
• Problem Set 3: Genome Sequencing
• Problem Set 4: Mapping and Loops
• Problem Set 5: Blast

Study Questions from notes for:

• Where Sequences Come From
• Tour of Myers et al (2000)
• Search for FMRP in Drosophila
• Tour of Shine and Dalgarno (1975)

Investigations

• What is a Gene? and companion
• Was Mendel Right? (Part II)

...and that's it! If you can solve these problems and answer the questions, you should be able to do the same readily on the exam.
