Question

A biochemist hopes to find a gene in human cells that codes for an important blood-clotting protein. She knows that the nucleotide sequence of a small part of the blood-clotting gene is CTGGACTGACA. Briefly outline a possible method she might use to isolate the desired gene.

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. But today we have a small fragment of a human gene has a nucleotide sequence given here. What hybridization probe sequence may be best used to search for this gene in a library. But remember that when we're using a hybridization probe sequence, this sequence must be complementary to the one that we have here. So all we really need to do is to find the complementary sequence to the one given in the problem. So let's write that down here and start looking for it. We have the Seattle scene will be complimentary with wanting wanting. Again we started seeing, adding with timing. Well I mean what I mean adding and then wanting. And this will be the complementary sequence that we are looking for which is going to be represented by answer choice. There is the final answer to our problem and I really hope this video helped you.
