Chapter 23, Problem 11EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The parental lineage of the child (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) with regard to father 1 or father 2.
Introduction:
Sequence tagged site (STS) is a short segment of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), comprising 200-500 base pairs. The location of such sequence is known in a genome. This helps in the determination of the physical map of the genome.

Traditional Sanger sequencing has largely been replaced in recent years by next-generation and third-generation sequencing approaches. Describe advantages of these sequencing methods over first-generation Sanger sequencing.
Mr. I. M. Megabucks, the wealthiest man in the world, recently died. Since his death, three women have come forward. Each woman claims to have a child by Megabucks and demands a substantial share of his estate for her child. Lawyers for the estate have insisted on DNA typing of each of the alleged heirs. Fortunately, Megabucks anticipated trouble like this before he died, and he arranged to have a sample of his blood frozen for DNA typing. The results of the typing are shown in the figure below. Your job is to analyze the data and determine whether any of the children could be Megabucks' heir. Remember that every person has two of each chromosome, one inherited from his mother and one inherited from his father. Half of every person's DNA comes from his mother, and half comes from his father, so some of the DNA bands showing in the children will come from their mothers, and the rest will come from their fathers. The question is, could that father be Megabucks?
For the first child,…

- ISSR is generally a dominant STS DNA marker. Nonetheless, with validated experimental evidence (e.g. laboratory and population genetics data), the marker can be used in codominance marker genotyping. Briefly explain each case below: a) Codominant marker targets specific locus and reveals allelic variations in that locus among DNA samples. b) Dominant marker: primers can complement other repeat sequences or in multiple loci thereby non-specificity in sampled genomes.arrow_forwardWhat is a Sanger Sequencing ?arrow_forwardWhat is 15q?arrow_forward
