Key Area 8 Flashcards
What is genomic sequencing
The DNA nucleotide sequences for individual genes and or entire genome
What is bioinformatics
It is the use of a computer inform to store, display, compare and analyse different sequences from DNA rapidly
What does bioinfomstic use
Molecular biology, statical analysis and computer technology
What is bioinformatics used for
Diseased casting organisms
Pest species that kill crops
Model organisms for research
What is Phylogenetic
It is a study of evolutionary history and relationships
What does phylogenetic use
Genomic sequencing and fossil evidence
What does phylogenetic used for
To identify evolutionoey reaptnedd or differences throughout evolution.
Estimate the time when lineages diverged
What Is a molecular clocks
They use the mutation rate to calculate the time when two or more different life forms diverged through evolution
What Is assumed for molecular clocks
That mutations occur at a constant rate
What does the molecular clocks show
Shows the difference in DNA or amino acid sequence to indicate a length of time species divided from their common ancestor
What are the 3 domains of life
Bacteria
Archea
Eukaryotes
What can an individual genomes be used for
It can be analysed to predict the likelihood of developing certain diseases
What Is pharmacoginetics
It is the use of a genome information in order to choose the correct drug
What is personalised medicine
It is knowing the genome sequence of an individual and predicting the correct drug qnd dosage to treat personal diseases
Guve the term used for the statistical analysis of sequence data
Bioinformatics
