Q. The sequence can also be verified by making an oligonucleotide primer complementary to the distal part of the readable sequence and using it to obtain the sequence of the complementary strand on the original DNA template.

View solution

Q. When the process is fully automated, a number of priming sites may be used to obtain sequencing results that give optimal separation of bands in each region of the sequence.

View solution

Q. To sequence larger molecules, individual chromosomes are purified and broken into _____ or larger random fragments, which are cloned into vectors designed for large molecules.

View solution

Q. Many levels of clone redundancy may be required to build a consensus map because individual clones can have _______

View solution

Q. Once the correct map has been obtained, unique overlapping clones are chosen for sequencing.

View solution

Q. An alternative method is to sequence all the subclones, produce a computer database of the sequences, and then have the computer assemble the sequences from the overlaps that are found.

Q. Which of the following is untrue about Shotgun Sequencing?

View solution

Q. Two common goals in sequence analysis are to identify sequences that encode proteins, which determine all cellular metabolisms, and to discover sequences that regulate the expression of genes or other cellular processes.

View solution

Q. cDNA libraries have been prepared that have the same sequences as the mRNA molecules produced by organisms, or else cDNA copies are sequenced directly by RT-PCR (copying of mRNA by reverse transcriptase followed by sequencing of the cDNA copy by the polymerase chain reaction).

View solution

Q. Using cDNA sequence with the __________ it is much simpler to locate protein-encoding sequences in these molecules.

View solution

Q. An important development for computational purposes was the decision by Craig Venter to prepare databases of partial sequences of the expressed genes, called expressed sequence tags or ESTs.

View solution

Q. The translated sequence can then be compared to a database of protein sequences with the hope of finding a strong similarity to a protein of known function, and hence to identify the function of the cloned EST.

View solution

Q. Investigators are encouraged to submit their newly obtained sequences directly to a member of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, such as the NCBI, DDBJ, and EMBL.

View solution

Q. NCBI reviews new entries and updates existing ones, as requested.

Q. Which of the given statements is incorrect?

View solution

Q. Which of the given statements is untrue?

View solution

Q. Granting agency requires a certain level of accuracy in case of errors. Which of the given statements is untrue regarding it?

View solution

Q. Which of the following is wrong about GenBank DNA Sequence Entry?

View solution

Q. A consecutive set of three-letter words that could be codons specifying the amino acid sequence of a protein. The sequence entry is assumed by computer programs to lie between the identifiers “ORIGIN” and “//”.

View solution

Q. In Organization of the GenBank database and the search procedure used by ENTREZ—each row is another sequence entry and each column another GenBank field.
