Exploring a Triticum aestivum (Wheat) gene
Start in the Ensembl Plants homepage and select the Triticum aestivum IWGSC genome to answer the following questions:
-
What GO: Molecular function terms are associated with the Wheat gene TraesCS6D02G180200?
-
Go to the transcript tab. How many exons does it have? Which one is the longest? Approximately, how much of that is coding?
-
What domains can be found in the protein product of this transcript? What prediction method(s) identified these domains?
- Go to Ensembl Plants, select Triticum aestivum from the drop down menu then type
TraesCS6D02G180200into the search box. Click on the gene name link TraesCS6D02G180200 in the search results. Click on GO: Molecular function in the left-hand menu.There is one term listed: GO:0005515, protein binding.
- Click on the transcript tab at the top of the page. Click on Exons in the left-hand menu.
There are six exons. Exon 6 is longest with 485 bp, of which around one sixth is coding.
- Click on either Protein Summary or Domains & features in the left-hand menu to view the data graphically or as a table, respectively.
Leucine-rich repeats are predicted by many different methods, however each method predict the leucine-rich repeats at different positions.
