Question 1.

There is a human gene nuclear receptor interacting protein 1, NRIP1.

Answer the following questions about this gene:

1. Which chromosome is this gene on.
2. What is the cytogenetic position of this gene
3. Which genes are immediately next to it?
4. What is their annotated function?
5. Are the genes transcribed in the same direction or opposite direction?
6. Are there any Tetraodon nigroviridis homologs to this gene? (just a yes/no answer, you don't need to list them).

Question 2.

Here is a part of the mouse genome

NOTE: You will have to use MOUSE databases for part of this! HINT: Look in the pull down menus

Answer the following questions about this gene:

1. How many contigs were used to assemble this sequence?
2. How many mouse genes are in this region?
3. What region of the mouse chromosome are they from
4. What region(s) of the human genome is this similar to (i.e. synteny)
5. Are there any Tetraodon nigroviridis homologs in this region?
