Question

1、You have a 250 bp DNA sequence from a human protein-coding gene.  What's the best tool to find out which gene matches this sequence?

 

BLAST

 

A Clustal algorithm (such as Clustal Omega)

 

A Burrows-Wheeler algorithm (such as BWA)

 

Just Google it

 

2、Sequence alignment algorithms like Burrows-Wheeler were primarily designed to handle many (millions) of short sequences and match them to a reference genome efficiently.  Another property of these algorithms makes them suitable for use with RNAseq data.  What property is this?

 

Burrows-Wheeler can distinguish which strand of reference genome matches a sequencing read.

 

Burrows-Wheeler can align a sequencing read that matches two different exons.

 

Burrows-Wheeler uses a pre-compiled and compressed index of the reference genome.

 

Burrows-Wheeler can be parallelized.
