Chapter 9, Problem 17P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The number of contigs that are represented by the given set of DNA sequences and the sequence of each contig.

Introduction:

The term contig describes the contiguous sets of the overlapping DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The possibility that some of the DNA sequences are complementary to each other in overlap region and others overlap but represent the same DNA strand.

Introduction:

The molecule of the heredity that encodes the genetic information is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Summary Introduction

c.

To determine:

The reason that an individual would not expect the sequences to overlap with each other.

Introduction:

The total genetic information in a specific cell or an organism is described as the genome.

Summary Introduction

d.

To determine:

The number of contigs if an individual had enough sequence reads to cover all pairs in the human genome.

Introduction:

The human genome contains about three billion DNA base pairs. There are 24 different human chromosomes, out of which 22 are autosomes, and 2 are sex chromosomes.

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
