1
Q
Describe the difference between a free and host living bacteria in terms of genome size
A
- Free living bacteria tend to have larger genomes due to changing environmental states
- When associated with a host which provides a stable environment, the genome is simpler
2

No, the cloning step is not required
3
Q

4
Q
What is comparative genomics?
A
The comparison of genome structure and functions cross different biological species or strains
5
Q
What can a region of difference between two genomes identify?
