Back to GN's Logbook

I looked on the NCBI website to try to find the exact primary genomic sequence for the section I chose to mutate. Having the amino acid sequence alone is not helpful, so I need to find what the base pairs look like in order to make a primer. I found several sections (the most pertinent here ) relating to NPC2, but was unable to immediately find the primary sequence for the amino acids that I had selected ( KLPVKSEYP). I found a listing of NPC2's entire sequence, but I do not know how to isolate and identify the portion that i am looking for.

This week I also logged into my Voicethread account for the first time. This is the media with which the final project will be created. I will need to get a microphone for my computer, as the idea behind voicethread is to create an presentation where the creator of the project comments on each section. Viewers can also leave comments, allowing a wide range of interaction. The project will be found on my Project Page.
