Examine figure 18.8. How might metagenomics be used to isolate genes encoding a potentially new antibiotic?
Figure 18.8 Metagenomic analysis. DNA has been extracted directly from environments such as (a) bacterial mats at Yellowstone National Park, (b) the human colon, (c) cabbage white butterfly larvae, and (d) tube worms from hydrothermal vents. The DNA can be used to construct a metagenomic library and analyzed by Sanger sequencing (top); however, NGS is more likely to be used (bottom), thereby avoiding the need for genomic library construction.

- Experiment A microarray was hybridized with a mixture of two differentially labeled fluorescent cDNAs, one prepared using retinal RNA of 1-day-old mice (labeled with a green fluorescent dye) and the other prepared using retinal RNA of 28-day-old mice (red fluorescence). The two probes were prepared from identical amounts of retinal tissues and were mixed together for hybridization to the microarray. Unhybridized probes were washed away, and the microarray was photographed in a fluorescence microscope.arrow_forwardTranscriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses.
