Please help!
1. What chromosome is the gene on?
2. By convention chromosome sequences are read from the centromere (the region where the sister chromatids join) to the telomeres. Genes that are transcribed in this direction are said to be on the "forward strand", genes that are transcribed in the opposite direction are said to be on the "reverse strand". Which strand is the gene on?
3.One of the thing that surprised the first people to sequence the human genome was that the same gene sequence could be transcbried in multiple ways by having different a different intron/exon structures. These alternative structures are called "splice variants". How many splice variants does this gene have?
One more! if you can,
4. What gene is the DNA sequence "ACTCGGTGAAATACCTGGAGTGCTCAGCTCTCACCCAGAGAGGCCTGAAAACCGTGTTCGACGAGGCCATCCGGGCCGTGCTGTGCCCTCAGCCCACGCGGCAGCAGAAGCGCGCCTGCAGCCTCCTCTAG" associated with? Provided both the ENSEMBL id (starting with ENSG....), and any alternative names.

1 and 2.
Given gene = HBB
Hemoglobin subunit beta in humans
It is present on chromosome 11 complement strand (- or reverse strand).
Coordinates = 5225466..5227071
It has five splice variants.
3.
The given sequence corresponds to Homo sapiens Rac family small GTPase 2 (RAC2), mRNA.
It is located on chromosome 22.
