Explain how the different “-omics” involved with the three major parts of the central dogma can be used to study this new species. What are molecular techniques/tools (sequencers) that can be used to study each of these? How would you sequence the genome efficiently (i.e., lowest amount of time and money)?
Assume 2x108 reads of 75 bps long are obtained from a next-generation sequencing experiment to sequence a human genome. Suppose the length of the human genome is 3x109 bps. What is the depth (i.e., coverage) of the sequencing?
Compare and contrast the assembly of genomes using Sanger and next-generation sequencing (NGS) approaches

Explain this ?arrow_forwardThe Japanese canopy plant (Paris japonica) has one of the largest of all eukaryotic genomes, with approximately 150 billion base pairs, about 50 times the size of the human genome. In contrast, the bladderwort Utricularia gibba has one of the smallest plant genomes, with only 82 million base pairs. What predictions can you make about the genomes of these two species?arrow_forwardDescribe two things that you can learn by searching a computerized database for sequences that have similarities to a newly sequenced gene.arrow_forward

- Here is some information about the sequences: There are two images given; one with sequences and the other with a figure. All these sequences, “SEQUENCE_21” to “SEQUENCE_27” are in the same subfamily or “clade” of a large phylogenetic alignment of all Rab proteins in these three species (see “Image with a figure” for a full view of gene family in humans, plants and yeast, see the “D” branch towards the bottom of the tree in Figure). “SEQUENCE_28” is a different Rab protein (actually it is the Rab39 protein at the bottom of the tree). “SEQUENCE_21” is from yeast. “SEQUENCE_22” to “SEQUENCE_25” are from the plant, Arabidopsis. “SEQUENCE_26” and “SEQUENCE_27” are from humans. Question: Based on the information above, what can you speculate about the possible evolution of the genes that “SEQUENCE_21” to “SEQUENCE_27” represent?arrow_forwardWhile comparative genomics is fundamentally the study of the differences between the genomes of species, it can also give clues about functional genomics (the study of the biological functions that rely on genomic sequences i.e. related sequences that encode the various proteins within a family).
