Exons

... only on the longest transcript). In addition, assuming I have only a single transcript, which tables do you suggest to use in order to fetch the exons\introns positions within the transcript\cDNA? Thanks in advance, Noa

... AS-heterozygous carrier SS-homozygous sickled The sickle cell mutation is caused by a single point mutation, (base substitution), in one of the exons that code for the synthesis of hemoglobin. All humans being diploid, have two alleles for each trait, including hemoglobin. Picture that the following ...

JackBean, if you Blast this sequence, you will probably find corresponding cDNA and that will help with finding exons in this gene. Alternatively, you can run this sequence (starting with ATG) through translate tool on ExPASy that would give you translation of 1st exon in first ...

... Through this process, one gene may encode many different proteins. You're obviously not much experienced with molecular biology, are you? Exons rarely code for separate domains. Also, these "many different proteins" are basically one protein with altered function. Exon shuffling ...

... break up the instructions for making the proteins. Therefore the Spliceosome has to cut out these sections of DNA and join the remaining pieces ( Exons ) together. This brings different protein domains together in the final protein when it is translated. Through this process, one gene may encode ...
