You Have Determined the Base Sequence for a Gene from Felis

question 40

Essay

You have determined the base sequence for a gene from Felis catus (domestic cat)that you believe may be involved in feline leukemia.A BLASTn search results in nucleotide sequence matches from viruses,not mammals,although the similarity is low.What other bioinformatic tools or techniques could you use to investigate the function of this gene? Why would these tools or techniques be more convincing than a BLASTn search? Hypothesize why you think this result might be correct or incorrect.
