Concept explainers

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.

Question:- When completing genome sequences, contiguous sequences, or contigs are important intermediates. Which of the following is true about contigs? Group of answer choices The smaller the contig, the better it is for a complete genome assembly. A contig represents the sequence production from a single sequencing reaction. A contig is the name for a fragment of DNA made from a larger genomic DNA or chromosome, prior to its sequencing. A contig represents a DNA sequence assembled from smaller sequencing reads, and has no gaps.
Question:- Which statement below about gene expression is TRUE? A. Transcription initiation begins when RNA polymerase bind to the transcription start site. B. RNA processing removes exons, adds a 3' cap, and adds and 5' tail. C. Translation terninates when a tRNA carrying methionine binds to a codon. D. The same amino acid may be encoded by multiple different 3-base codons.

Question:- When large genomes are sequenced, which of the following is true? Group of answer choices The genomes are converted from RNA to cDNA using reverse transcriptase, and then the cDNA is sequenced. The genomes are fragmented, the DNA fragments are sequenced by any number of methods, and the sequences assembled to provide the original complete genome. Sanger dideoxy sequencing is never used – instead, only nanopore sequencing is used. The assembled sequences must have all gaps closed if the genome is to be useful for the research community.
