Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Shotgun sequencing is a method in genetics that is used for sequencing long strands of DNA. Genome assembly is simply the sequencing of genome produced after fragmentation of chromosome and then those fragments are sequenced and resulting sequences have been set back together.

What is Sanger sequencing? Why do we use ddNTP? How to read a DNA sequence gel? c. What is a cDNA seq (RNA seq)? d. What is the main difference between a genomic and a transcriptome study?
Place the steps of sanger sequencing in order.A.  A fluorescent laser excites the fragments and records the wavelength consistent with a single nucleotide. B.  ddNTPs bind and stop chain extension.C.  DNA fragments are separated by size through a capillary tube. D.  DNA polymerase copies the target region of template DNA.E.  The final nucleotide of each fragment is labeled with a fluorescent tag.
a. What type of nucleic acid and from what species would the scientist use to begin construction of her genomic DNA library? b. From what tissue would she isolate this nucleic acid? c. What type of reagent would the scientist use to cut the genome into appropriately sized fragments? d. What size nucleic acid fragments would one aim to prepare for the library construction so as to to avoid having to screen an overwhelming number of clones? e. Into what vector would the scientist ligate her genomic DNA fragments? f. What organism would the scientist use to propagate the clones of her genomic DNA library? g. From the information given in the problem determine what probe could be used to screen the scientist's library to find her clone of interest ?
