First, I created an account on Benchling. Then, I uploaded the Lambda sequence and introduced the restriction digestive enzymes. By combining them, I obtained the following result: 2. Unfortunately, I did not have access to a laboratory equipped with all the necessary materials to perform the experiment. 3. 3.1 The human oxytocin (OXT) gene is located on chromosome 20 and encodes a precursor protein (prepropeptide) of 125–126 amino acids, which is subsequently processed into the active 9-amino acid hormone (nonapeptide: Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly) and neurophysin I. The cDNA sequence for the human OXT precursor (NM_000915.4) consists of a 378-base pair open reading frame. I used UniProt to identify the oxytocin sequence:</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/aleksandra-cebzan-zeman/homework/week-02-hw-dna-read-write-and-edit/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
