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 5: Blast
• Problem Set 6: Statistics and MOTIFS-IN
• Problem Set 7: Repeat-Finding Tools and Tables

Study Questions from notes for:

• Search for FMRP in Drosophila
• Gene Regulation and Bacteriophage
• Search for Regulatory Sequences
• Repeats, Tandem Repeats, and Pattern Matching
• Finding Local Repeats
• Bioinformatic Analysis of Small Dispersed Repeats

Investigations

• Was Mendel Right? (Part II)

Research Project-related

• A basic understanding of your topic
• A list of articles useful for your specific topic
• A summary of a published experiment related to your project

...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.
