Where does Herpes Simplex Virus 2 establish latency?

When conducting an RNASeq analysis one challenge is to identify which exons are part of a transcription unit (gene) vs belonging to an adjacent transcription unit (gene).  For example, for the region shown below, how do we know the RNASeq reads shown in RED below map to the Taf3 gene on the left, or to the Asator gene on the right? How is this problem solved – what sequence evidence is required to know which exon belongs to which gene?  

The first heart sound _______.

Acute epiglottitis (inflammation of the epiglottis) is:

Antibodies of an Rh-negative mother can cause rupturing of the baby’s RBCs, causing _______.

Why did we not trim adapters from the mRNA reads?

In the space create a table and fill the rows with an ordered Suffix Array (lexicographically sorted) for the string, “banana”. For example, create a table that mimics the column on the right:

Individuals with type O blood have _______ antigen(s) on their RBCs and _______ antibodies circulating in their blood.

Based on your TargetFinder results, the genes identified can all be placed in: Identical GO categories Different GO categories Similar GO categories
