The Results from Several Gene Transfer Assays Carried Out to Locate

Question 46

Short Answer

The results from several gene transfer assays carried out to locate regulatory DNA sequences are shown in the table below. Three different transcription factors were used in the assay as probes. Luciferase was used as the reporter protein, and production of light is noted with + signs. No production of light is noted with a 0. The results indicate that _______ of the five DNA sequences tested may be have some sort of gene regulatory role.
