Let's say that you're a scientist trying to analyze newly sequenced bacterial DNA genomes from an environmental sample of rainforest soil, and your first task is to organize all of the genomes you find into a phylogenetic tree. If you couldn't use the 16S rRNA gene sequence to create the tree, which of these alternative genes would work best for your task of creating a tree that works for all the bacteria in your sample?

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.
