<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thank so much all those who sent me their
feedback and suggestions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I actually tried the Trace search, and BLAST on
the human genome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both yielded no significant similarity for
humans.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We previously submitted this sequence to
Genbank accession number AY083907.. It is 91% similar to an
gene in Eschorchia Coli...It is a /note="delta 2-isopentenyl adenosine tRNA-like
protein;<BR>possible member of the mevalonate pathway; down-regulated<BR>in
several human tumors including liver, urinary tract,<BR>bladder, and
submaxillary carcinoma; similar to<BR>Escherichia coli and Shigella flexneri
delta-2 isopentenyl<BR>pyrophosphate transferases".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We were able to isolate it from different human
cell lines.. and also from Differential display analysis on different cancers
like urethral cancer... what is the probability that it is a novel gene not yet
discovered at all, ? and what percent of the human genome is still not
sequenced in order to be able to search against?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks alot again for all your kind
assistance,</FONT></DIV>
