Question

People in the field of genomics often study a single gene in a genome True False Which of the following is NOT used by bioinformaticians to identify gene sequences in a genome A. Finding open reading frames B. Looking for sequences that are similar between genome C. Looking for similarities with messenger RNA sequences D. None of the above, they are all used CpG islands are often found: A. Near the start site of genes B. In the 3' untranslated region C. In ribosomes D. In chromatin remodeling complexes Mutations can INCREASE the expression of certain genes True False

Explanation / Answer

1. false. Research carried out into single genes does not generally fall into the definition of genomics .Genomics is the study of genomes.A genome is a complete set of DNA within a single cell of an organism, and as such genomics is a branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes.

2.d.In bioinformatics, sequence analysis is the process of subjecting a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence to any of a wide range of analytical methods to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution.

3.a. CpG islands typically occur at or near the transcription start site of genes, particularly housekeeping genes, in vertebrates.

4.Mutations can increase the expression of certain genes.This is true. Thus it could be beneficial if those proteins are useful to us and deleterious if the proteins involved are lethal.
