Scenario
A colleague who researches differences in the susceptibility of primates to certain diseases has isolated and sequenced the protein-coding DNA sequence of a nuclear gene from a number of different primate species including from living and extinct human subspecies. You have been asked for help with the construction of the molecular...
You have been approached by a collaborator seeking assistance with the experimental design and analysis of their RNA-seq study. They are investigating whether virus infection in mosquitoes alters gene expression in the gut cells.
The experimental setup involves the following:
* Mosquito species: Aedes aegypti. Virus Zephyrovirus is new to...
The assignment involves constructing and analyzing evolutionary relationships among primates using a nuclear gene. It requires working with MEGA X software to perform tasks such as aligning DNA sequences, creating phylogenetic trees, and evaluating the reliability of these trees. Starting with DNA sequences provided in FASTA format, you must align...
