Question

3. Now that the sequence of the entire E. coli K12 strain
genome (roughly 5 Mb) is known, you can determine
exactly where a cloned fragment of DNA came from
in the genome by sequencing a few bases and matching that data with genomic information.
a. About how many nucleotides of sequence information would you need to determine exactly where a
fragment is from?
b. If you had purified a protein from E. coli cells,
roughly how many amino acids of that protein
would you need to know to establish which gene
encoded the protein?
c. You determine 100 nucleotides of sequence of
genomic DNA from a different E. coli strain, but
you cannot find a match in the E. coli K12 genome
sequence. How is this possible?
