Q

Power of next generation DNA sequencing

A

fully automated and miniaturized
millions of different fragments are sequenced at the same time. This is called massively parallel
An expensive way to sequence large genomes. at the time od writing a complete genome could be sequenced in a few days

Q

Features of of bacterial and archaeal genomes

A

relatively small single circular chromosome
compact most is protein coding with only short sequences
genes usually do not contain introns except rRNA and tRNA
addition to the main chromosome, often have plasmids

21
Q

transposons

A

segements of DNA that can move form place to place in the genome and can move from one piece of DNA to another

22
Q

Metagenomics

A

analyzing genes without isolating the intact organism

use pCR to amplify sequences in enviornmental samples to determine whether specific microbes were there

closely related genes

came from duplkicated then mutated genes

Highly repetitive sequences

A

short seqeunces that are repeated thousands of time in tandem
not transcribed

short tandem repeats

A

1-5 bp can be repeated up to 100 times at a particular location
scattered about the genome

35
Q

moderately repetitive sequences

A

repeated 10-1000 times in the rukaryotic genome
unclue genes which produce tRNA and rRNA
generally transposons

36
Q

Retrotransposons

make RNA copies of themselves, which are then copied back into DNA before inserted into DNA 
class I transposons
37

long terminal repeats of DNA sequences at each end
about 8% of human genome
a type of Retrotransposons
