Question: Two genomic sequences and one mRNA sequence is available for analysis. One gonomic sequence is the gene sequence and the other is the promoter sequence

Two genomic sequences and one mRNA sequence is available for analysis. One gonomic sequence is the gene sequence and the other is the promoter sequence for the gene. You have cloned and sequenced this novel (never sequenced or identified before) gene and promoter from human mammary tissue. You have also characterized the mRNA of the gene by identifying the exon/intron boundaries. The exons are located at base pairs 1-510, 1401-1640, 2299-2538, 2941-3081, and 3672-5121 of the genomic sequence. After some initial database searches, you think that the gene is derived by exon shuffling between several different genes. Your job is to identify and characterize the promoter, gene, mRNA, and protein and decide if your exon shuffling theory is correct. summarize your findings and your proposed function of this gene in the mammary gland. Include how you arrived at your conclusions, i.e. databases used, information gathered.
