Question

What is your hypothesis based on your research on the Laminin-like gene that you are investigating (where will you see your gene expressed in the organism when performing the WISH)?

Answer 1

Laminins are basically proteins found in various parts of the body and also in foods. They act by binding to the membranes in the cells of our body. They perform functions like adhesion, cell signaling, etc. Laminin gene is expressed during embryogenesis notably blastocyst stage; Studies show that Laminin is expressed in skin, lungs, heart and reproductive tracts. When performing WISH they are expressed in RNAs in the embryos. They are found to be expressed in the muscle tissues in the embryos; in the skin in the ectoderm and the endoderm;
