Q. Which of the following is untrue about translation and transcription?

View solution

Q. The main issue in prediction of eukaryotic genes is the identification of exons, introns, and splicing sites.

View solution

Q. Most vertebrate genes use __________ as the translation start codon and have a uniquely conserved flanking sequence call a Kozak sequence (CCGCCATGG).

View solution

Q. Which of the following wrong about HMM GENE?

View solution

Q. Which of the following is untrue about Homology-Based Programs?

View solution

Q. The drawback of Homology-based approach is its reliance on the presence of homologs in databases.

View solution

Q. GenomeScan is a web-based server that combines GENSCAN prediction results with BLASTX similarity searches.

View solution

Q. Which of the following is untrue about EST2Genome?

View solution

Q. Which of the following is untrue about SGP-1?

View solution

Q. TwinScan is also a similarity-based gene-finding Server and it is similar to GenomeScan in that it uses GenScan to predict all possible exons from the genomic sequence.

View solution

Q. Because different prediction programs have different levels of sensitivity and specificity, it makes sense to combine results of multiple programs based on consensus. This idea has prompted development of consensus-based algorithms.

View solution

Q. In bacteria, transcription is initiated by DNA polymerase.
