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.

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
