Document Summary
Obtaining the sequences of complete genomes and analyzing the sequences to locate putative genes and other functionally important sequences within the genome. The study of the functions of genes and other parts of the genome. Includes developing an understanding of how their expression is regulated, the proteins they encode, and the role of these proteins in the organism"s metabolic process. Comparison of entire genomes (or extensive portions of them) to understand evolutionary relationships and the basic biological similarities and differences among species. Direct manipulation of an organism"s genome using biotechnology techniques. Removing knock-out genetic material from an organism. Contains the regulatory sequences that allow transcription and translation of the gene. Sequences necessary to express gene in host organism. Eukaryotic dna contains introns: coli can not splice introns. They have been modified to contain genetic information the transgene from source an external. When absent glucose builds up in blood, starves cells. People who don"t produce enough insulin have diabetes.
