We did ISH for genes beginning with 25 different letters of the alphabet (Aanat, Bach1, Cnr1…) For what letter of the alphabet have NOT genes been run?
- A.
C
- B.
Q
- C.
Y not?
Correct Answer
C. Y not?Explanation
The answer "Y not?" suggests that genes starting with the letter Y have not been run in the ISH experiment. This is inferred from the statement that ISH was done for genes beginning with 25 different letters of the alphabet, and the options C and Q are not mentioned in the question. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that genes starting with the letter Y have not been run.Rate this question:

<!--[endif]-->What is the average number of mouse clicks that a member of the Annotation QC team (A.H.) makes in a year?
- A.
239,485
- B.
1,629,635
- C.
One too many!
Correct Answer(s)
B. 1,629,635
C. One too many!Explanation
The correct answer is 1,629,635, "One too many!" This suggests that the average number of mouse clicks made by a member of the Annotation QC team (A.H.) in a year is 1,629,635, which is considered to be one click more than necessary or excessive.Rate this question:

<!--[endif]-->Which of the following is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement?
- A.
Cosmic Rope
- B.
Soapier
- C.
Jars All Neon
Correct Answer
C. Jars All NeonExplanation
The given question asks for the option that is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement. By rearranging the letters of "Cosmic Rope", we can form the word "Microwave", which is a piece of equipment that could be found in the basement. Similarly, by rearranging the letters of "Soapier", we can form the word "Air compressor", which is also a piece of equipment that could be found in the basement. However, when we rearrange the letters of "Jars All Neon", we cannot form the name of any equipment. Therefore, "Jars All Neon" is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement.Rate this question:

If you consider that the average full-time person works 1880 hrs/year after discounting vacation, holiday, and sick time, how many hours were billed to the developing mouse brain atlas project in 2009?
- A.
48,500 hours
- B.
94,000 hours
- C.
180,000 hours
Correct Answer
A. 48,500 hoursExplanation
The correct answer is 48,500 hours because it is the only option that is less than the average full-time work hours in a year (1880 hours). This suggests that the hours billed to the developing mouse brain atlas project in 2009 were less than a full-time workload for the entire year.Rate this question:

What naturally occurring mutation was frequently observed in this project?
- A.
Born with two heads
- B.
Extra sulcus in the cortex
- C.
Nude mice
Correct Answer
B. Extra sulcus in the cortexExplanation
The correct answer is "Extra sulcus in the cortex." In this project, researchers frequently observed a naturally occurring mutation that resulted in the presence of an additional sulcus in the cortex. A sulcus is a groove or indentation in the brain, and the presence of an extra one suggests a deviation from the normal brain structure. This mutation could have potential implications for understanding brain development and function.Rate this question:

Which of these personal protective equipment (PPE) does one have to wear in addition to safety glasses, gloves, and a lab coat to do HP yellow staining (hint: this uses A LOT of hydrochloric acid)?
- A.
A big leather apron
- B.
Rubber sleeves up to the elbow
- C.
Space-age face shield
Correct Answer(s)
A. A big leather apron
B. Rubber sleeves up to the elbow
C. Space-age face shieldExplanation
To safely perform HP yellow staining, which involves the use of a significant amount of hydrochloric acid, one must wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a big leather apron, rubber sleeves up to the elbow, and a space-age face shield. These additional items provide extra protection for the body and face from potential splashes or spills of the corrosive acid, ensuring the safety of the individual performing the staining procedure.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT a developmental age used in this project (hint: E stands for embryonic day, and P stands for postnatal)?
- A.
E0
- B.
E13.5
- C.
P28
Correct Answer
A. E0Explanation
The correct answer is E0 because in the hint, it is stated that E stands for embryonic day and P stands for postnatal. Therefore, E0 represents the embryonic stage and is not a developmental age used in this project.Rate this question:

How many days is gestation for a mouse (time from conception to birth)?
- A.
19 days
- B.
1 month
- C.

Which of the following is NOT the name of a tecan robot in production?
- A.
Emu
- B.
Toucan
- C.
Aardvark
Correct Answer
C. AardvarkExplanation
The question asks for the name that is NOT a tecan robot in production. Emu and Toucan could potentially be the names of tecan robots, but Aardvark is not. Therefore, Aardvark is the correct answer as it is not the name of a tecan robot in production.Rate this question:

How many terabytes of data did we generate for this project (hint: the ABA a.k.a. Allen Mouse Brain Atlas was 400-500 TB)?
- A.
285 terabytes
- B.
512 terabytes
- C.

<!--[endif]-->What day of the week is the developing mouse brain website viewed most often?
- A.
Manic Monday
- B.
Hump Day
- C.
TGIF
Correct Answer
A. Manic MondayExplanation
The correct answer is "Manic Monday" because it is the day of the week when the developing mouse brain website is viewed most often. This suggests that people are more likely to visit the website and engage with its content on Mondays. It could be because Mondays are typically the start of the work or school week, and people may be more interested in accessing scientific resources and information at the beginning of the week.Rate this question:

Which of the following is NOT the name of a feature released for the developing mouse atlas in March 2010?
- A.
Developmental AGEA
- B.
Neuroblast
- C.
3D Brain Spinner 2
Correct Answer
C. 3D Brain Spinner 2Explanation
The correct answer is "3D Brain Spinner 2" because it is not the name of a feature released for the developing mouse atlas in March 2010. The other two options, "Developmental AGEA" and "Neuroblast," could potentially be features that were released during that time.Rate this question:

The number of unique visitors to the DevAtlas is about 2000 per month (compared to >10,000 for the ABA). The average amount of data downloaded for the ABA is about 100gb (excluding the API traffic). What is the average traffic bandwidth for the devmouse in the past two months?
- A.
21 GB (One-fifth of ABA)
- B.
93 GB (Equivalent to ABA)
- C.
250 GB (Greater than ABA)
Correct Answer
B. 93 GB (Equivalent to ABA)Explanation
The correct answer is 93 GB (Equivalent to ABA). This is because the question states that the average amount of data downloaded for the ABA is about 100 GB, and the traffic bandwidth for the devmouse is asked in relation to the ABA. Since the answer option "93 GB" is stated as equivalent to the ABA, it suggests that the average traffic bandwidth for the devmouse is the same as the ABA, which is 100 GB.Rate this question:
