Can you answer those questions?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Which of the following is not a reason we often perform metagenomics studies by doing PCR using long degenerate primers for the 16S gene? Eliminates issue of having to randomly fragment DNA for sequencing (which can sometimes be tricky to optimize) All microorganisms have a 16S gene It is taxonomically informative and allows you to identify taxa using a database You can estimate relative taxa abundance by relative read abundance, avoiding genome size bias. You can make a phylogeny allowing you to do diversity analyses 16S has conserved regions and the primers used allow for some sequence variation, so we can amplify the region from different taxa efficiently using PCRI was given this and made a character matrix from it but I need help creating the most parsimonious phylogenetic tree for it.When forensic experts work with a blood sample, what part of it do they use for PCR; red blood cells, white blood cells, or proteinaceous antibodies? If trying to find a tandem repeat segment, why would you pick one choice other another?
- Why is sequence alignment critical to phylogenetic analysis?Would a protein encoded on the core genome or one encoded only on the pan-genome be best to use in constructing a phylogenetic tree? Explain your answerImagine you wanted to preserve the dwindling populations of giant pandas by developing breeding programs for captive pandas around the world. To preserve the maximum genetic diversity, you want to mate the individuals that are least related to each other. Which of the following methods of analysis would be most helpful in determining which of the captive pandas were related? a. PCR b. STR analysis c. DNA microinjection d. DNA sequencing
