Institution:
University of Alabama in Huntsville For this experiment, you will be given worms with a dominant mutation
in the
rol-6 gene. You will also be given some wild
type worms so that you can observe the normal movement pattern.
You will then use RNAi (also known as RNA interference) to knockdown
expression of the mutant rol-6 allele. What do you expect will happen to the worms
after the RNAi treatment?
Random Worm Term
The segment of DNA involved in producing a polypeptide chain. It includes regions preceding and following the coding region as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons). (Genes V, p.1242)
