Using Genome Projects

Question 1

What does sequencing a genome mean

Answer 1

Working out the dna base seq for all the dna in a cell — same in all cells but rbc and gamms

Question 2

Detail about methods to sequence genome

Answer 2

Are continuously being improved and updated and are now automated

Question 3

Why is sequencing easier in simpler orgs like proks

Answer 3

Don’t contain introns in dna so genome can be used to sequence proteins that derive from the genetic code

Can identify potential antigens to use in a vaccine

Question 4

Why are Euks harder to sequence

Answer 4

Have introns and regulatory genes in dna so genome can’t be reality used to translate proteome
