Page S49 Description of your personal BLAST
 Function in humans of the protein you
BLASTed
 Would you expect to find this protein in other
organisms? If so, which ones?
 Is it possible to find the gene in two different
kinds of organisms, but not find its
proteins?
 If you found the same gene in all organisms
you tested, what does this suggest about
the evolution of this gene?
 Does the use of DNA sequences in the study of
evolutionary relations mean that other
characteristics are unimportant in such
studies? Explain.
