Scavenger Hunt Assignment:
• How many genes are located in this 150,000 base region?
• Do they seem to be similar, almost like a "family" of genes?
• What are their functions?
• Any functions unknown for any of these genes? If so, which ones?
• Print out the amino acid sequence of the protein produced by one of these genes (using the single letter code)
