Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Restriction mapping is technically easy, high throughput, high resolution and technically easy mapping of small DNA molecules, on the other hand FISH allow low resolution mapping of the enormous DNA molecule. STS is Sequence tagged site mapping that emerge as a powerful alternative which combines the best of mapping through FISH and best of restriction mapping.

- a. If you forgot to add dNTPs to a sequencing reaction, what would be the result? Only very long fragments would be synthesized Only very short fragments would be synthesized The fragments would not be labelled DNA polymerase would be inactivated Sequencing would proceed normally b. Please also answer the imagearrow_forwardQ. How can you design your RT-PCR experiment to control for gDNA contamination? A. Use forward and reverse primers that bind to the same exon. B. Run a control lane where only RT was performed and not PCR. C. Run a control lane where mRNA has been amplified using PCR. D. Use forward and reverse primers that span the junction of 2 separate exons.arrow_forwardConsider a genome whose length is 1000 bp. "Shotgun" sequencing techniques are applied to the genome, resulting in 20 reads, with an average length of 50 bp. A very important point is that, even though 20×50 = 1000, there is no guarantee that ALL 1000 bp of the genome are represented in the fragments. Calculate the coverage. What does this value mean? Why would it be a good idea to have a coverage greater than 1?arrow_forward

What type of reagent would the scientist use to cut the genome into appropriately sized fragments? d.

- Complete the table below 6. Below are several DNA sequences that are mutated compared with the wild-type sequence: 3’-T A C T G A C T GA C G A T C-5’. Envision that each is a section of a DNA molecule that has separated in preparation for transcription, so you are only seeing the template strand. Construct the complementary DNA sequences (indicating 5’ and 3’ ends) for each mutated DNA sequence, then transcribe (indicating 5’ and 3’ ends) the template strands, and translate the mRNA molecules using the genetic code, recording the resulting amino acid sequence (indicating the N and C termini). What type of mutation is each?6.a.
