Besides the examples listed in Table 23.3, list five types of short sequence elements that a geneticist might want to locate within a DNA sequence.

TABLE 23.3 Short Sequence Elements That Can Be Identified by Computer Analysis Type of Sequence Promoter Response elements Start codon Stop codons Splice site Polyadenylation signal Highly repetitive sequences Transposable elements Examples* Many E. coli promoters contain TTGACA (-35 site) and TATAAT (-10 site). Eukaryotic core promoters may contain CAAT boxes, GC boxes, TATA boxes, etc. Glucocorticoid response element (AGRACA), CAMP response element (GTGACGTRA) ATG TAA, TAG, TGA GTRAGT-YNYTRAC(Y)"AG AATAAA Relatively short sequences that are repeated many times throughout a genome Often characterized by a pattern in which direct repeats flank inverted repeats
