This project focuses on comparing gene expression in diapause vs. non-diapause states, with a specific emphasis on the threonyl-tRNA synthetase and its role in biological processes. The study involves analyzing the amino acid sequence, gene function related to serine specificity, and conducting Clustal alignment. References include works on tRNA-dependent editing by a class II tRNA synthetase, the modular structure of E. coli threonyl-tRNA synthetase, and the autoregulatory mechanisms within the gene.
