You generated a cDNA clone of a human testis mRNA and sequenced the cDNA using the Gilbert chemical degradation procedure to determine its identity and the protein it encodes. Write in detail the steps of the Gilbert DNA sequencing procedure you used to sequence the human testis cDNA clone.
Added by Kathleen O.
Step 1
To begin the Gilbert DNA sequencing procedure, the first step is to isolate the cDNA clone from the human testis mRNA. This can be done using various techniques such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or by using a cDNA library. Show more…

You have isolated total RNA from muscle cells and constructed a muscle cDNA library. You wish to study the regulatory region of a muscle-specific cDNA gene (gene M) that you have previously identified. (i) For your study, you need to isolate a genomic clone of gene M. Why is a cDNA clone of gene M not appropriate for your study? Explain. (ii) Outline the steps you would take to isolate the genomic gene M.

You built a muscle cDNA library using complete RNA isolated from muscle cells. You want to investigate the regulatory region of a muscle-specific cDNA gene (gene M) that you discovered previously. You'll need to isolate a genomic clone of gene M for your research. Why isn't a cDNA clone of gene M suitable for your research? Support your claim. Outline the steps you would take to isolate the genomic gene M.

You are cloning a gene from a eukaryotic organism into a plasmid to produce a recombinant protein in bacteria. Put the following steps in the correct order. 1. Isolate the mRNA 2. Synthesize cDNA 3. Digest the plasmid with the same restriction enzymes 4. Insert the gene into the plasmid by ligation reaction 5. Transform the bacteria with the plasmid you constructed 6. Plate the transformation reaction 7. Grow bacteria for the expression of the gene you cloned 8. Screen the colonies that contain the right construct 9. Run an agarose gel and isolate the DNA fragments 10. Create restriction sites by PCR
