- why are the human genome project and ENCODE important and how do they relate to the future of medicine?arrow_forwardBioinformatics is the science of using computational methods (specialized software) to decipher the biological meaning of information contained within an organismal system. If you have to identify a gene, for example from the fruit fly, that is of interest to you, and you would like to know whether the human genome contains a homolog (related gene) of the fruit fly gene, one tool you could use is a program called Group of answer choices RefSeq (species reference sequence) Excel BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) GenBankarrow_forwardHow to Develop new sequencing technologies, such as highthroughputcomputer-automated sequencers, to facilitategenome analysis ?arrow_forward
- A large public and private effort went into sequencing the human genome. What did this project hope to accomplish; how did emerging technology assist the project (ie recombinant DNA, super-computing, automated sequencing), was it successful and what is the usefulness of what was learned in this massive effort?arrow_forwardIf you were to sequence a human genome today, how would the sequencing differ from that done during the Human Genome Project? Choose only the best answer. You would still use Sanger sequencing. You would still assemble the sequencing reads into a genome using bioinformatics. You still need to clone the DNA fragments prior to sequencing them. All three of the other statements are true.arrow_forwardIf you had a chance to get your genome sequenced, what are some questions you might be able to have answered about yourself?arrow_forward
- Clearly, all humans have variations in their DNA sequences. How is it possible to sequence the human genome if every individual is unique? How was the diversity of the human genome addressed?arrow_forwardHow big is the human genome?arrow_forwardA researcher used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test four individual nematodes for the presence of a mutation in Gene Y. When amplified, the fragments of DNA containing the mutated gene alleles were 250 base pairs long and the normal (wild type) alleles were 350 base pairs long. To identify the genotypes of the individual nematodes, the researcher used gel electrophoresis to visualize the PCR results. 1.000 bp 500 bp 300 bp 200 bp 100 bp Remember that these nematodes are diploid organisms and as such, inherited two copies of Gene Y. Which of the following statements is a correct analysis of these results a) Nematode As homozygous for this gene and has two copies of the mutated allele. O b) Nematode C is heterozygous for this gene and has one copy of the mutated allele and one copy of the normal (wild type) allele. O) Nematode D is heterozygous for this gene and has one copy of the mutated allele and one copy of the normal (wild type) allele. ) d) Nematode B is homozygous for this…arrow_forward
