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.
