Question

1. There are a variety of types of repeated sequence in eukaryotic genomes that can complicate sequence assembly. The long repeated sequences may be BLANK , meaning that they are next to each other or they may be BLANK throughout the genome.

2.What is the process by which researchers identify the various types of sequence present in genomes? MULTIPLE CHOICE

Genome annotation

Shotgun sequencing

Sequence motif

Sequence assembly

3.Comparison of DNA sequences with [BLANK] sequences reveals the intron-exon structure of protein-coding genes.

A.

Genome annotation

B.

Shotgun sequencing

C.

Sequence motif

D.

Sequence assembly

Explanation / Answer

1. There are a variety of types of repeated sequence in eukaryotic genomes that can complicate sequence assembly. The long repeated sequences may be TANDEM meaning that they are next to each other or they may be DISPERSED throughout the genome.

2. A. genome annotation

Genome annotation sometimes involves scanning the DNA sequence for characteristic sequence motifs.

3. messenger RNA
