5 (18 pts). Design a mini-transposon derivative of Tn10. You already have a plasmid that expresses Tn10 transposase, you want to make a new transposon to make protein fusions to green fluorescent protein (GFP). The 5'end of the transposon will be designed for making gene fusions of the gene the new transposon inserts into - to produce N-terminal protein fusions of the gene of interest to GFP. (a) What are the minimal requirements your transposon needs for its ability to transpose? (b) What part of your transposition system can be supplied in trans? (c) What must you consider in designing the 5' end of your transposon in order to ensure that your transposon can make fusions? (d) How will you select for insertions of your transposon into the chromosome? (e) If you isolate 600 independent insertions of your transposon into gene X, how many of these insertion mutants do you expect to produce an X-GFP fusion protein product?

What is the role of Cas9 in the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system? a) It is an enzyme that repairs double-stranded DNA breaks in the genome. b) It is an endonuclease that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific sequences. c) It is a kinase involved in signaling during DNA repair.
