The geneticist in Q5. identified a new developmental gene called gappy. When the gene is deleted it completely abolished the latter half of developing mosquito larvae.
Excited at the new results the geneticist was interested in searching for the cis regulatory elements that control the expression of gappy. The geneticist heard genetic regions called conserved...
