Transcription and Translation “Taken to the Next Level”
This computer exercise examines gene expression at a much more detailed level than before, requiring knowledge in both the biological aspects of the process and the translation of these steps into computer text-processing equivalents.
To begin the assignment, I needed to log into my account through the Terminal application on my MacBook:
ssh rlegaspi@my.cs.lmu.edu
And I typed in my password; then, I accessed the Dondi's folder which contained the infA-E.coli-K12.txt file:
cd ~dondi/xmlpipedb/data
To view the specific sequence that we are practicing for this week's assignment I inputed the following command:

Modifying the gene sequence string: Highlighting ("Tagging") the special sequences within the gene
Completing this assignment required a review of Introduction to the Command Line page and a reading of the More Text Processing Features page. In class, my Homework Partner Anu Varshneya and I were able to get clues and hints on how to complete our assignment from Professor User:Dondi.
-35 box and -10 box
Firstly, we were able to learn the placement of possible -35 box and -10 box locations in the sequence and how to "tag" these special sequences. We were able to search for both of the special sequences concurrently with the knowledge that the sequence for a -35 box is tt[gt]ac[at] and the sequence for a -10 box is [ct]at[at]at. We could have used grep to search for the sequences individually, but to see where the potential locations for both -35 box and -10 box we used the following command:
cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "s/tt[gt]ac[at]/ *&* /g" | sed "s/[ct]at[at]at/ **&** /g" ttttcaccacaagaatgaatgttttcggcacatttctccccagagtgt **tataat** tgcggtcgcagagttggttacgct cattaccccgctgccgataaggaatttttcgcgtcaggtaacgcccatcgtttatctcaccgctcccttatacgtt gcgcttttggtgcggcttagccgtgtgttttcggagtaatgtgccgaacctgtttgttgcgatttagcgcgcaaatc *tttact* ta *tttaca* gaacttcgg **cattat** cttgccggttcaaattacggtagtgataccccagaggattagatggcc aaagaagacaatattgaaatgcaaggtaccgttcttgaaacgttgcctaataccatgttccgcgtagagttagaaaa cggtcacgtggttactgcacacatctccggtaaaatgcgcaaaaactacatccgcatcctgacgggcgacaaagtga ctgttgaactgaccccgtacgacctgagcaaaggccgcattgtcttccgtagtcgctgattgttttaccgcctgatg ggcgaagagaaagaacgagtaaaaggtcggtttaaccggcctttttattttat
After finding the locations of the potential -35 box and -10 box locations, it was clear where the actual -35 box and actual -10 box were (the first instance of the sequence for the -35 box and the second instance of the sequence for the -10 box). To ensure that we would only be highlighting the actual -35 box and -10 box sequences, all we need to do is replace the "g" in sed "s///g" with a "1" or "2" or the desired instance. This tells sed to replace the instance we desire, which is what was described in the More Text Processing Features page. The resulting command would produce the following result:
cat infA-E.coli-K12.txt | sed "s/tt[gt]ac[at]/ <minus35box>&<\/minus35box> /1" | sed "s/[ct]at[at]at/ <minus10box>&<\/minus10box> /2" ttttcaccacaagaatgaatgttttcggcacatttctccccagagtgttataattgcggtcgcagagttggttacgctcattacccc gctgccgataaggaatttttcgcgtcaggtaacgcccatcgtttatctcaccgctcccttatacgttgcgcttttggtgcggcttag ccgtgtgttttcggagtaatgtgccgaacctgtttgttgcgatttagcgcgcaaatc <minus35box>tttact</minus35box> tatttacagaacttcgg <minus10box>cattat</minus10box> cttgccggttcaaattacggtagtgataccccagaggattagatggccaaagaagacaatattgaaatgcaaggtaccgttctt gaaacgttgcctaataccatgttccgcgtagagttagaaaacggtcacgtggttactgcacacatctccggtaaaatgcgcaa aaactacatccgcatcctgacgggcgacaaagtgactgttgaactgaccccgtacgacctgagcaaaggccgcattgtcttc cgtagtcgctgattgttttaccgcctgatgggcgaagagaaagaacgagtaaaaggtcggtttaaccggcctttttattttat
Transcription Start Site (TSS)
After finding and tagging the -35 and -10 box, the assignment required us to highlight the transcription start site (TSS), which is the twelfth nucleotide after the first nucleotide in the -10 box. Therefore, I could infer that the character 6 nucleotides after the end of the -10 box tag is the TSS because the -10 box sequence is 6 nucleotides long.
