... You begin at the right, which are the smallest DNA fragments. The sequence that you read will be in the 5'-3' direction. This sequence will be exactly the same as the RNA that would be generated to encode a protein. The difference is that the T bases in DNA will be replaced by U residues. As an exam ...

... b. You isolate clones for each of these bands. Two correspond to the ACT1 and ACT2 genes you have already identified. The third you name ACT3. Now you prepare labeled probes specific for each individual actin gene (i.e., they will not cross-hybridize with either of the other actin genes) and use the ...
