I was scrolling through some old notes, and i've came accross a situation that was described during a genetics webinar. I've introduced it to many colleagues and i've surprisingly received very different feedbacks. I though sharing it here in the forum might lead me to a clearer vision on how the situation could be solved:
You have identified a new, previously unknown eukaryotic organism.
a) First, you decoded the DNA sequence of the gene 'Y'. Now you want to determine the exon-intron structure of the gene. Describe your approach.
b) Second, you found that gene Y encodes a protein with a homeodomain. Make a hypothesis about the molecular function of the protein.
c) Third, you want to test your hypothesis (molecular function of the protein). Describe your approach.
