1
Q
What is DNA sequencing?
A
process to determine precise sequence of nucleotides in DNA
-synthesising many DNA fragments
2
Q
How can determine ing the genome of viruses could help develop a vaccine?
A
- identify proteome
- identify potential antigens to use in vaccines
3
Q
Why is it easier to sequence genome of simpler organisms?
A
- don’t contain introns (non coding)
4
Q
Why is it harder to sequence more complex organisms?
A
- contains introns
- more complex regulatory genes making it difficult to identify proteome
