Go to the VISTA Point (https://pipeline.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/gateway2) and search the mouse genome (Dec 2011 assembly) for APEX2.
1. What is the position listed in the Position window.
2. Looking at the human conservation, how many exons are shown?
3. Add rat and dog tracks. What species has the highest conservation with mouse in the introns?
4. Which exon is the longest (from right)?
5. Go back to VISTA Point and enter APEX2 for human (Feb. 2009). What is the longest exon (from left this time)? Be careful of wrap-around.
6. In whichintrondoes mouse have a long region that is not well conserved?
You can either type the following web address "pipeline.lbl.gov" (without the dots) or search in Google for the above link, and choose the first or second hit. Please, kindly take care of the instructions, particularly the dates of each assembly.
Just for reasons of clarification: the complete address is as follows: https://pipeline.lbl.gov
It is expected that it will be automatically converted to https://pipeline.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/gateway2
Still, kindly try the first one: https://pipeline.lbl.gov , particularly if Internet explorer and not "Google Chrome" or "Firefox" is used
