Here is a set of homologous sequences from three different primates for a gene responsible for the higher intelligence observed in primates. We are interested in understanding where transcription factors bind upstream of the gene so that we can attempt to modulate the expression of the gene in individuals with decreased cognition in a highly experimental treatment (i.e., this would never work in reality). We discussed several different approaches for finding motifs in sequences. The sequences are reprinted for each question that requires you to use the sequences. GTTCAG AATCAG TATTCG Use a GreedyMotif search to find motifs for these sequences. Assume you are looking for 4-mers and work your algorithms so there’s never a 4-mer with zero probability in your matrix. If there is a random component, make sure you clearly tell me what the “random” choice is and make sure that it is evident to me that you understand what random means in the context of the greedy motif search (i.e., if there is a random component, explain it to me in words and demonstrate its appropriate use). Make sure you report the score for each set of motifs. If you don’t provide sufficient detail for me to see that you understand what to do, giving you credit will be challenging. I prefer you insert boxes, etc. and type your answer so that it’s clearly legible. However, you may also choose to take a picture of your scratch paper at the very end of the exam and upload it to Canvas.
