Document Summary
Class 22 outcomes: glsa gene from volvox versus chlamy. The two genes are homologous: don"t need to have same function, idential nucelotide or amino acid sequence. No known funcion in chlamy knockout the gene and it has no efect: but, can use this to rescue a glsa mutant in volvox. Important gene required in asymmetric cell division in volvox: volvox has two types of cells and they are diferent in size. 2k somaic cells that line the enire organism. Taking the clammy and volvox glsa and try to align them end to end. Easy when you have two closely related species sequences will be very similar. If you already know that two sequences are very similar, then a global alignment makes sense. Interested in studying the structure of the gene and how over evoluionary ime they have changed in two species global. When studying one gene in two related species easy to align end to end use global.
