Chapter 23, Problem 8EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The definition of ‘contig’ and the determination of the overlapping of clones in a contig.
Introduction:
Clones of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are preparedin the physical mapping of genes. Through physical mapping, the relative location of genes in the chromosomal segments can be identified. The library containing the clones is aligned according to the actual position of the clones with the help of overlapping regions.

It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forward
