Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The recognition of an open reading frame in genome sequence and the information deduced from it.
Introduction:
Genome sequencing is carried out to obtain the complete sequence of the genome in an organism. The prokaryotic genome contains an only coding region where all genes are present in a sequence as a single chromosome. The eukaryotic genome contains noncoding (introns) regions between coding regions (exons).
