Summary Introduction

To identify:

The different ways to find genes in DNA sequences and name the organisms for which method is used.

Introduction:

DNA sequencing is the method used to determine nucleic acid− the pattern of nucleotides in DNA. It incorporates any technique or innovation that is utilized to determine the order for the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.

Explanation of Solution

Method for identifying gene	Organism
Scientists look for open reading frames, stretches of DNA that begin with a start codon, are followed by at least 100 codons, and end with a stop codon.	Bacteria, yeast
Sophisticated computer algorithms are used to compare the DNA sequence under study to the genomes of other organisms.	Human being, and other complex organisms
