Image 1. Gel Electrophoresis of the RNA from yeast cells. Lane 1 is the wild type yeast RNA and Lane 2 is the mutant RNA.
**Microarray for our slide did not work. We were given Slide #106 from The fall semester of 2004 to analyze.**
Image 2. Slide 106 Microarray picture. The dots represent the areas that the genes bound to the slide. Red dots represent mutant expression of the gene
and green represent wild-type expression of the gene.
Table 1. Common Names and the Description of Selected Genes Used in Comparison of the Data
| Common Name | Gene | Description |
| ZMS1 | YJR127C | Zinc finger protein involved in transcriptional control of respiration |
| ZWF1 | YNL241C | Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) catalyses the first step of the pentose phosphate pathway involved in oxidative stress. |
| CUP2 | YGL166W | Transcription factor involved in oxidative stress |
| MAC1 | YMR021C | Transcription factor involved in oxidative stress |
| YAP1 | YML007W | Basic leucine zipper transcription factor involved with oxidative tolerance |
| CAD1 | YDR423C | Basic leucine zipper transcription involved in multiple stress responses including oxidative stress |
| HAP1 | YLR256W | Zinc finger transcription factor involved in the complex regulation of gene expression in response to levels of heme and oxygen |
| HAP2 | YGL237C | A transcriptional activator and global regulator of respiratory gene expression |
| HAP3 | YBL021C | Subunit of the heme-activated containing sequences contributing to both complex assembly and DNA binding |
| SOD1 | YJR104C | Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase |
| SOD2 | YHR008C | Manganese-containing superoxide dismutase and protects cells against oxygen toxicity |
| ATF2 | YGR177C | Alcohol acetyltransferase, may play a role in steroid detoxification |
Table 2. Ratios of mutant to wild type (red:green) for slide 106 of Fall 2004 microarray.
Image 3: The above image is purely for fun. We decided to see how genes with prefix YGL1 correlated.
Image 4: The above image is similar to that of Image 3. Except we chose to observe all those similarities between genes of prefix YGL2.
Image 5: The above genes are those from Table 1, which we picked because of their relation and role in oxidative stress. As observed, there really isn't that complicated of a relationship.
