Genomics

Question 1

What is omics

Answer 1

genome sequencing analysis of RNAs, proteins and metabolites

Question 2

What are proteomics

Answer 2

Genome wide study of abundance of proteins at different growth conditions

Question 3

What is interactomics

Answer 3

Genome wide protein-protein interactions

Question 4

What is Metabolomics

Answer 4

Total small molecules (metabolites)

Question 5

What is Transcriptome

Answer 5

Entire component of RNA produced under a given set of conditions
Used to understand how an organism transcriptionally responds to specific conditions

Question 6

Transcriptome analysis:

Microarrays

Answer 6

Need to make array first, small dynamic range of signal and not very precise

Question 7

Transcriptome analysis:

Next generation sequencing

Answer 7

Precisely counts the mRNA copies per cell, more frequently used then microarrays

Question 8

Whats an annotation

Answer 8

converting raw sequence data into a list of genes present in genome

Question 9

What do restriction enzymes do?

Answer 9

protect bacterial cell from invasion by destroying foreign DNA

Question 10

What do modification enzymes do?

Answer 10

Protect cells DNA from own restriction enzyme
