(2 pt) Short list of homologs in other organisms (name and species)
(1 pt) Additional gene names (Preferred Names)
(1 pt) mRNA sequence (5’ 3’)
(3 pt) Use the ExPasy online tools to generate the 6 different potential open reading frames from a mRNA (cDNA) sequence
Part II. Protein & domain motifs
(2 pt) Actual Amino acid sequence
(1 pt) Using Graphic Summary Tab find function protein motifs
(2 pt) Using the BlastP program, do an alignment with the AA sequence with another species.
