1) All living things are composed of cells* • 2) All cells come from pre-existing cells* • * The Cell Theory • 3) All cells exist in a water environment 4) All cells are bounded by a membrane • 5) All cells have similar chemistrys (proteins, proteins, proteins) 6) DNA is the primary heritable molecule (DNA’s BIG job is to code for proteins) • 7) The concept of gene regulation and totipotency
BLAST! search at NCBIhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/National Center for Biotechnology Information
BLASTing the genome to search for a match with the human insulin gene gives the following result:
We can BLAST the fruit fly genome with human insulin and we find an ortholog:
BLASTing the genome to search for a match with the human insulin gene gives the following result:
When we BLAST the human genome with the insulin gene, we Find the insulin gene and we also find two other genes that are very similar to insulin:
The major hormones that regulate growth in animals are insulin and insulin-like growth factor (the insulin signaling system.)
