Chapter 20.1, Problem 3TPSQ

Summary Introduction

To describe:

Whether the difference in genome is large or more although you and a complete stranger are $99.9\%$ identical with difference of $\text{3million base-pairs}$ in the genome.

Introduction:

Genome sequences consist of genes which are transcribed and translated to synthesize proteins in the genome. These genes are divided into exons which code for proteins and introns which are spliced and recombination of introns takes place to form functional genes inside the cell.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Some of the consequences of these similarities and dissimilarities in the genome.

Introduction:

Genome sequencing allows for the analysis of the sequences in the genome. It helps in the analysis of repeat regions in the genome, transposons, insertions, duplications and transversions. It helps in the analysis of the evolutionary sequences with phylogenetic background, single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations.
