Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The percentage of genome that would be left unsequenced if a bacterium has a genome size of 4.1Mb.
Introduction: Genome is defined as the complete genetic material that is present in an organism. It consists of the coding as well as the non-coding parts of DNA. DNA sequencing is a widely used method to determine the complete sequence of all the bases present in a DNA molecule. Shotgun sequencing is a type of sequencing technique in which DNA is first fragmented into tiny pieces and then sequencing is done.

"This study will concentrate solely on the molecular characterization of seaweed samples collected on Panglao island inSouth-Central Luzon, Philippines. Molecular data will be limited to DNA sequences, with identification relying heavily on Genbank returns via blastN. The researchers would obtain their samples from the generated database and analyze the DNA barcode of each macroalgae. The researchers would also compare the previous list of discovered seaweeds from Panglao island to generate a new and updated version for this study. The research would no text end outside or to the neighboring islands around Panglao, Bohol. Neither would the researchers add or include specimens that did not appear in the database or originate from Panglao island. The data to be considered would also not discuss or include the entire taxonomic key of each available sample."

- Question -Esther is completing her PhD project in bacterial distribution in mangroves and theirbiochemical characteristics. She manages to isolate and identify around 80 differentbacterial species from the various mangrove sites. She preserves the isolates by growingthem on a tryptic soy agar supplemented with sea salt and re-streaks them every week. After8 months she notices that some of the isolates have changed their genetic sequence whencompared to the initially identified sequence. Using a diagram explain what could havehappened to the isolates when she re-streaked them repeatedly and recommend a solutionto prevent this from occurring in the future and give explanation why it is moreadvantageous.arrow_forwardAsaparrow_forwardSolve 21arrow_forward
