computer applications can be used to translate viral genomic sequence just as you did manually, however computer applications cannot tell you the meaning or significance of mutation. based on your experience what might be a disadvantage in using computer applications to compare new strains of the virus that causes COVID19. please asap dont copy from any other site i already have that answer
Jerome Vinograd found that when circular DNA from apolyoma virus is subjected to cesium chloride gradientcentrifugation, it separates into two distinct bands, oneconsisting of supercoiled DNA and the other of relaxedDNA. Explain how you would identify each band.
Please consider the figure attached i. The ordinate (i.e., 'y-axis') represents values for the C or G nucleotide base proportion in sequences (or, in this case, genomes).ii. Influenza viruses that infected birds or moved from birds to humans without spreading are characterised by higher A + U content relative to influenza viruses that infected humans for long time periods.iii. Influenza viruses adapted to human hosts are characterised by lower G + C content relative to influenza viruses that infected birds or moved from birds to humans without spreading. iv. Human and swine influenza A H1N1 strains evolved from a birdlike G + C state to a humanlike G + C state since 1918. v. Data such as those depicted in the figure have been interpreted as evidence that the 1918 influenza virus strain originated from a bird influenza virus population.

Based on genotyping, comparative genomics, phylogenetics and using the tools of bioinformatics, explain why it can be confirmed that the COVID-19 virus was NOT developed as a biological weapon and/or artificially released by a laboratory either accidentally or for nefarious purposes.
2. You are cloning the genome of a new DNA virus into pUC18. You plate out your transformants on ampicillin plates con-taining X-gal and pick one blue colony and one white colony. When you check the size of the inserts in each plasmid (blueand white), you are surprised to fi nd that the plasmid fromthe blue colony contains a very small insert of approximately60 bp, while the plasmid from the white colony does notappear to contain any insert at all. Explain these results.
