1. Identify the gene from which the query sequence originates (Name of gene)
2. Provide the FULL protein sequence encoded by the gene.
3. Are different splice variants known for this gene?
4. What human disease has been connected to this gene?
5. Calculate molecular weight (kiloDalton, kD) and calculated pI (the pH where the
protein carries no net electrical charge) of the protein.
6. Provide the reference (in proper reference form: Author; Year; Title; Journal
Name; Volume; Page Numbers) for a recent publication involving the identified
gene. This reference should NOT be a web page reference.
7. Are there homologues for the identified gene in other systems? Identify one
homologue in a invertebrate system (if there is none, provide a vertebrate
homologue).
8. What is the function (e. g. transcriptional regulation, transmembrane signaling,
kinase, protease etc.) of the protein(s) encoded by the gene.
9. Generate a FULL protein sequence alignment for one of the identified putative
protein products with at least one similar invertebrate protein (if there is none, use a
vertebrate homologue).
10. Generate a secondary structure prediction for one identified protein.
