1.8 - Genomic sequencing Flashcards
in genomic sequencing the ………. can be determined for ………. or ……….
sequence of nucleotide bases, individual genes, entire genomes
computer programs can be used to identify…
base sequences by looking for sequences similar to known genes
what are the types of bioinformatics
computers and statistical analysis
what is used to compare sequence data
bioinformatics
what has comparison of genomes revealed
many genes are highly conserved across different organisms
what genomes have been sequenced in particular?
disease-causing organisms, pest species and species that are important models organisms for research
what is phylogenetics
the study of evolutionary history and relationships
in phylogenetics, what can sequence data be used for (2 examples)
to determine the main sequence of events in evolution to study the evolutionary relatedness among groups of organisms
what is sequence divergence used for
to estimate time since lineages diverged
what provides evidence of the three domains of life
comparison of sequences
what are the 3 domains of life
bacteria, archaea eukaryotes
what is used to determine the main sequence of events in evolution
sequence data and fossil evidence
what is the sequence of events in evolution
CLPPEMAVL
what is used to show when species diverged during evolution
molecular clocks
what do molecular clocks assume
constant mutation rate
