"Our Favorite Gene": ILT1/YDR090C
Additional Information
ILT1/YDR090C
- What is the standard name, systematic name, and name description for your gene (from SGD)?
- What is the gene ID (identifier) for your gene in all four databases (SGD, NCBI Gene, Ensembl, UniProt)?
- Provide hyperlinks to the specific pages for your gene in each of the above databases.
- What is the DNA sequence of your gene?
- What is the protein sequence corresponding to your gene?
- Go to the ExPASy tool and translate the DNA sequence of your gene. Which reading frame encodes the protein sequence? Take a screenshot of your results, display it on your wiki page, and state which frame it is.
- What is the function of your gene?
- What was different about the information provided about your gene in each of the parent databases?
- Were there differences in content, the information or data itself?
- Were there differences in presentation of the information?
- Why did you choose your particular gene? i.e., why is it interesting to you and your partner?
- Include an image related to your gene (be careful that you do not violate any copyright restrictions!)
- Please make the image something scientific (not like the random images seen on the SGD blog posts).
- If a 3D structure of the protein your gene encodes is available, you can choose to embed a rotating image of the structure on your page using the FirstGlance in Jmol software. This is optional, a different static image would be OK, too.
- Include Acknowledgments and References sections on your wiki page. Both partners should sign the Academic Honesty statement with their wiki signatures.
- You need to cite the specific database page from which you derived your information for each of the questions.
- When answering the free-form questions, be sure to paraphrase.
