What do you think might be some of the problems associated with isolating and sequencing DNA from ancient samples, such as that of the 4000-year-old Saqqaq man from Greenland?
If I take random biological sequences from a data bank, I see even more sequence similarity. Why ?
Imagine 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
