After Drosophila DNA has been treated with a restrictionenzyme, the fragments are inserted into plasmids and selected as clones in E. coli. With the use of this “shotgun”technique, every DNA sequence of Drosophila in a librarycan be recovered.a.

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.
