What were the two major goals of the Human Genome Project? Select all that apply. a to isolate each gene b to identify all DNA base sequences c to identify noncoding regions d to find a cure for cancer

What are the overall benefits/consequences of the Human Genome Project and the ability to quickly perform DNA sequencing?

Bioinformatics is the science of using computational methods (specialized software) to decipher the biological meaning of information contained within an organismal system. If you have to identify a gene, for example from the fruit fly, that is of interest to you, and you would like to know whether the human genome contains a homolog (related gene) of the fruit fly gene, one tool you could use is a program called Group of answer choices RefSeq (species reference sequence) Excel BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) GenBank
