Chapter 17-Part 2 Introduction to Bioinformatics

Question 1

What is the goal of the genomic research

Answer 1

Determining Nucleotide Sequence

Question 2

Genomic Map

Answer 2

Shows the approximate location of gene

Question 3

Whole genome sequencing

Answer 3

is simply the sequencing of the entire

genome of an organism at one time.

Question 4

Whole-genome shotgun sequencing

Answer 4

Small-insert clones are prepared
directly from genomic DNA and
sequenced in a highly automated
way.

Question 5

What is a contig

Answer 5

a set of overlapping fragments that form a continuous

stretch of DNA

Question 6

What are SNP?

Answer 6

A site in the genome where
individual members of a
species differ in a single
base pair

Question 7

Haplotype

Answer 7

the specific set
of SNPs and other genetic
variants observed on a
chromosome

Question 8

Orthologs

Answer 8

Homologous genes in different species that evolved from the

same gene in a common ancestor

Question 9

Paralogs

Answer 9

Homologous genes arising by duplication of a single gene in the
same organism

Question 10

Homologous

Answer 10

Genes that are evolutionarily related

Question 11

Functional genomics

Answer 11

Characterizes what the sequences do

Question 12

Transcriptome

Answer 12

All the RNA molecules transcribed from a genome

Question 13

Proteome

Answer 13

Analyzes the complete set of

proteins found in a cell
