Question 5. Read mapping is typically the most computationally-intensive step in RNA-seq data analysis. What features of an RNA sequence read and/or the genome might make read alignment take more time? Would you expect this step to take longer when mapping to the Arabidopsis genome or to the human genome? Why?

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.
Question:- Can you please explain the general rule on how to manually align these sequence?? i am very confused when you have to use a dash '-'. I have never been taught how to sequence so this to me is new and confusing i dont know what i am doing. any advice/tips would be great. please explain step by step as to why you added the dash so i can understand and learn. thank you so much Align the following sequences Sequence A: CUCGAGUUAACCCGGCACCCG Sequence B: GCUCGGGUUAACACGGACCCG Sequence C: UCGAGCCAACUCGGACCCG
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:- Whole genome sequencing provides the most comprehensive genomic information. Nevertheless, there are many instances when microarrays or limited sequencing of a selected panel of genes are the approaches chosen for clinical use , Why?
Question:- All the necessary ingredients for the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are mixed together in a PCR tube and placed in the thermal cycler.

Group of answer choices a.a mixture of human DNA, RNA, and protein b.human DNA c.human protein d.T. aquaticus DNA e.a mixture of human and T. aquaticus DNA

Question 1. Suppose that the diagram below represents the genomic organization of an enzyme involved in eye pigment production in mice. Within the gene are four exons. Biochemical analysis has revealed that the active site of the enzyme is located in the C terminus of the protein. The nucleotide length of each exon and intron is shown. The dinucleotide sequence GT represents the 5’ splice site and the dinucleotide sequence AG represents the 3’ splice site. Both the 5’ and the 3’ splice sites must be present for splicing to occur. Assume that the first and second stop codons are located immediately after the first and second 5’ splice sites, respectively; the third and fourth stop codons are located near the 3’ end of exons 3 and 4, respectively; all these stop codons are in the correct reading frame. E) Suppose you isolate a mutant mouse that has white eyes. When you examine the size of the eye pigment enzyme produced by this mouse, you see that it is 400 amino acids long. Sequence…

Question- You have a new microorganism that you have just isolated. You suspect your bacterium is capable of degrading cellulose. You know that these bacteria will have exoglucanases, endoglucanase, and β-glucosidases if they are able to degrade cellulose. 1. What DNA sequencing method would you use? 2. How would you predict the ORFs of the sequence you obtained? 3. How could you predict the functions of those proteins and its metabolic pathways? 4. What enzymes would you look for in the predicted functions of the ORF of the DNA sequence?
True or False? 454 platform sequencing involves attaching single -stranded DNA fragments to beads, which are embedded within a 96-well plate . The plate is exposed to separate washes of single nucleotides , which are used by DNA polymerase to synthesize complementary DNA. Each time a nucleotide is added, a pyrophosphate is released.
