1
Q
What method is used to determine the DNA base sequence of a genome?
A
Whole-genome shotgun sequencing (WGS)
2
Q
What is the benefits of determining an organisms genome?
A
Allows for potential antigen identification for vaccine development
Allows quick identification of medical problems for early intervention
Allows evolutionary links between species to be established
3
Q
Define proteome
A
All the proteins produced in a given type of cell or organism at a given time under specific conditions
4
Q
Why is determining the proteome of prokaryotic organisms easy?
A
Majority of prokaryotes have 1 circular DNA not associated with histones
No introns
