your friend has isolated a protein present in the cheek cells of all straight A seniors at your school. She says that this protein helps you remember everything you read and therefore will help you cut down on the number of hours needed to study for exams. She sequences the protein, which she calls geniuszyme and Designs a probe to isolate the gene that encodes it. To make sure she designs the probe correctly, she consults with the company that clone Factor 8. They have 100% confidence that her probe will work she also obtained a high-quality liver cdna library from the company and uses her probe to try to isolate the gene for geniuszyme. Unfortunately she has she is unable to isolate any clones.
