Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A researcher is studying a gene that exhibits alternative splicing. If researchers discover additional exons that can be included, how might this affect protein diversity?
💡 Hint: Consider how different combinations of exons can result in various products.
Given a scenario where a gene's enhancer region is mutated, resulting in diminished transcription factor binding, predict the potential outcome on protein levels.
💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between transcription factor binding and gene expression levels.
