Noncoding gene sequences control gene expression. You may also be thinking of what is called "junk DNA" which is not junk. We just do not know what all of it codes for.
The promoter region of a gene contains specific sequences that signal RNA polymerase II where to bind and initiate transcription. The orientation of these sequences determines which DNA strand is recognized as the template strand and therefore dictates the direction in which RNA polymerase II moves along the DNA during transcription.
RNA polymerase attaches to unwound DNA during transcription by recognizing and binding to specific promoter sequences on the DNA strand. Once bound, the RNA polymerase begins to synthesize a complementary RNA strand using the DNA template.
The term for the 5' DNA strand is the leading strand.
No, clones isolated from cDNA libraries do not contain promoter sequences because the cDNA synthesis process does not retain regulatory elements such as promoters. cDNA is made from mature mRNA and lacks the non-coding regions found in genomic DNA, including promoters. Therefore, clones isolated from cDNA libraries do not include promoter sequences.
The complementary strand of DNA to the template strand TACGGCTA would be ATGCCGAT.
hox gene
You can predict the base seqences of a DNA molecule if you know what one strand is, because of double Stranded DNA. Each strand matches up with a letter and repeats a pattern throught the entire DNA strand.
The promoter region of a gene contains specific sequences that signal RNA polymerase II where to bind and initiate transcription. The orientation of these sequences determines which DNA strand is recognized as the template strand and therefore dictates the direction in which RNA polymerase II moves along the DNA during transcription.
telomeres
They would be described as being complementary - as in complementary base pairing.
It would be ATCAGT. A=T T=A G=C C=G for all the DNA sequences the complementary strand would be the opposite.
The whole DNA strand is a double helix.
Pyrimidines or Purines
Very accurate to the base pair. The quality of the specimen matters as DNA can degrade. Short strand sequences (10-12 base pairs) can still be determined by PCR from one strand of hair.
RNA polymerase attaches to unwound DNA during transcription by recognizing and binding to specific promoter sequences on the DNA strand. Once bound, the RNA polymerase begins to synthesize a complementary RNA strand using the DNA template.
The template strand, if reffering to DNA, is the strand of the DNA that is copied to make more DNA.
The complementary strand of DNA is a strand that matches the sequence of the original DNA strand through base pairing rules. Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G). This results in two DNA strands with complementary sequences that can be used for replication and transcription.
