(If you encounter a question you've answered in a previous questionnaire and nothing has changed, just skip over it)
Spring 2014 


I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old Business
  1. Any final concerns about Search for FMRP?
III. Gene Regulatory Sequences - Lifestyles of bacteriophage
  1. How far did you get in the tour Gene Regulation and Bacteriophages?

     
  2. Do you understand what lysogeny is and why it might serve the bacteriophage?
  3. Do you understand the need for a general repressor in lysogenic phage?
  4. Anything other phage-related issues?
     

Do you have any favorite study questions (SQ1-SQ5) you think need discussion?  

IV. Gene regulatory sequences - Phage Lambda repression
  1. Do you understand the different levels of gene regulation?
  2. Do you understand the relationship between transcriptional proteins (like RNA polymerase and repressors) and specific DNA sequences?
  3. Can you recognize sequences to which lambda repressor binds?
  4. Do you understand the power of regulatory feedback loops?
  5. DO you understand how the interplay between the lambda repressor and Cro protein might achieve a stable decision of lysogeny vs lysis?
  6. Anything other regulation-related issues?
     

Do you have any favorite study questions (SQ6-SQ21) you think need discussion?  

V. Miscellaneous
Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?

Thanks!
