I. Basic Information
A. Your name
II. Old Business
- Any final concerns about
Gene Regulation and Bacteriophages?
- Any final concerns about
Search for Regulatory Sequences?
(e.g.
- How MOTIFS-IN works?
- How to understand the output of MOTIFS-IN?
- How to use it to find regulatory sequences?
III. Repeated Sequences
- How far did you get in the tour
Repeats, Tandem Repeats, and Pattern Matching?
- Do you understand why searching for repeated sequences might be rewarding?
- Do you understand the different types of repeated sequences?
IV. Tandem Repeated Sequences
- What understanding do you have of Southern Blots?
- What understanding do you have of how Southern Blots can be used to detect repeated sequences?
- Were you able to get and understand the GenBank file of the cpeBA region of
Calothrix PCC 7601?
- What progress have you made in making a homemade annotation of the cpeBA region?
- What understanding do you have of the purpose of the restriction enzyme XbaI in producing the blot shown in Mazel et al's Fig. 1?
- What sense do you make of Mazel et al's Fig. 1?
- Do you have any favorite study questions (SQ1-SQ13) you think need discussion?
V. Pattern Matching
- Were you able to find instances of the STRR1 unit in the cpeBA region? If not, were you blocked by any conceptual problems?
- Were you able to use the {n,} specification to find repeats? Do you understand how it works?
- Were you able to use the `1 specification to find repeats? Do you understand how it works?
- Do you understand why both methods are limited in their ability to find inexact repeated sequences where the pattern is not already known?
- Do you have any favorite study questions (SQ14-SQ21) you think need discussion?
VI. Miscellaneous
Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?
