BLAST
The two types of BLAST.
What are nucleotide and protein?
MEGA has two alignment tools. This is the one we use.
What is MUSCLE?
This the most diverse domain of life.
The other name for horizontal gene transfer.
What is lateral gene transfer?
The HMP stands for this type of project.
What is the Human Microbiome Project?
You are BLASTing a virus accession number. In order to create forward BLAST, you select this organism as your parameter.
What is bacteria?
MEGA allows you to align three different things. What are they?
What are DNA, RNA and Protein sequences?
The difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation.
What is speciation in the same or different location?
Name one of the three forms of HGT?
(hint: not only among prokaryotes)
What are species, Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes, or Membrane bound organelles with own DNA?
Genomics means this.
What is an interdisciplinary field of biology focusing on the structure, function, evolution, mapping and editing of genomes
BLAST stands for this.
What is Basic Local Alignment Search Tool?
MEGA stands for this or MSA stands for this. (Choose one)
What is Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis?
What is Multiple Sequence Alignment?
An internal node is this.
What is hypothetical most recent common ancestor of the taxa under consideration?
What is a branchpoint?
Name what type of HGT is occurring the research we are doing.
What is transduction?
Name the four types of nucleotides.
Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine
E-value indicates
What is the number that describes how many times you would expect a match by chance in a database of that size?
The reason we use MUSCLE instead of ClustalW for MSA.
When do samples have different sequence lengths?
State one way to create a phylogenetic tree.
What is morphological/behavioral/molecular features?
Name and explain one type of horizontal gene transfer.
Transduction, conjugation or transformation.
It took this long and this much money to sequence the first human genome.
What is 13 years and 1 billion dollars?
State all the parameters needed to identify Horizontal Gene Transfer (3 parameters, give numbers).
What is a query coverage over 70%, e-value less than 1e-50, and matching forward and reverse results?
The purpose of MSA.
What is to determine evolutionary relationships between sequences?
The 2016 representation of the tree of life uses this type of sequence.
What are ribosomal protein sequences?
Horizontal gene transfer can do this in regards to public health.
What is creating large infection outbreaks?
The NIH stands for this and does this.
