The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establ…

Textbook Question

Chapter 19.5, Problem 2CC

What is the difference between the core genome and pan-genome? What might you infer if you compare two genera, one in which the size of the core genome and pan-genome are very similar, and one in which the core genome is much smaller than the pan-genome?

What is the difference between the core genome and pan genome? Why might your infer if you compare two genera one is in which the size of the core genome and pan genome are very similar and one is which the core genom is must smaller than the pan genome?

Given our knowledge of genome sizes in different organisms, would you predict that Homo sapiens or the two-toed salamander (Amphiuma means) has the larger genome?

How do comparisons between genomes of related species help redefine gene annotation?
