History of Genome Sequencing
This is the collection of all of the DNA in an organism, which includes nuclear, mitochondrial, and, in some cases, chloroplast DNA.
What is a genome?
This form of substitution leads to a change in the amino acid and, therefore, protein structure, which can cause changes in the phenotype.
What is a non-synonymous substitution?
1. Computers are slow and can have difficulty storing so much data
2. It can be costly and confusing to determine who owns and pays for the data
3. Biological repeats in DNA create complications
are all examples of this.
What are the problems with sequencing a genome?
These are the four steps to sequencing a genome.
What are Sequence, Assemble, Annotate, and Analyze?
This diagram reflects shared homology, or shared ancestry, between species.
What is an evolutionary tree?
This field of research is where the genomic features of different organisms are compared to provide insight into species evolution and organismal physiology.
What is comparative genomics?
This disease causes a buildup of glutamine amino acids in the poly-Q tracts of the Htt gene.
What is Huntington's Disease?
This category of cancers makes up roughly 90% of all cancers and arises from a mutation in epithelial cells.
What are carcinomas?
