If you were to sequence a human genome today, how would the sequencing differ from that done during the Human Genome Project? Choose only the best answer. You would still use Sanger sequencing. You would still assemble the sequencing reads into a genome using bioinformatics. You still need to clone the DNA fragments prior to sequencing them. All three of the other statements are true.

After you design the PCR primers, you run the PCR on fluid from the patient’s nasal swab. Next, you need to evaluate the results. PCR makes billions of copies of just one sequence in a sample. Since you know the sequence, you also know the length (number of nucleotides) of the region you copied. There are about 130 nucleotides in the N gene fragment. This is typically stated as 130 base pairs. How can you visualize DNA and estimate its size? Load the DNA sample into an agarose gel (similar in consistency to jello) and apply an electric current to the gel. The DNA is charged and will move through the gel. The longer the DNA fragment, the more slowly it moves. The DNA is visualized by adding a fluorescent dye to your sample that sticks to DNA. When you look at the gel under UV light, the DNA should glow. What is the charge of a DNA molecule? Based on #1, would you expect DNA to be drawn to the (+) or (-) electrode of the gel electrophoresis chamber?
Describe the three basic goals of the Human Genome Project. What are at least three things we have learned from the project? Do you believe it was a worthwhile project? Why or why not?
7) The Human Genome project cost billions of dollars to complete. What was it and do you think it was worth the cost? Use at least two lines of reasoning to support your opinion.
Choose the single most appropriate description of how most Next Generation sequencing methods work. Template DNA is attached to 'chips', free di-nucleotides are added to synthesise new DNA, computers read the results. Template DNA is attached to 'chips', di-deoxy nucleotides are added to synthesise new DNA, computers read the results. Sample DNA is broken into short fragments and synthetic oligonucleotides are added to them. They are bound to a membrane and sequenced using lasers. Sample DNA is broken into short fragments and synthetic oligonucleotides are added to them. The fragments are then bound to a membrane and sequenced using light emission as the reporter. Sequencing by synthesis of short template fragments, using various 'reporters' and computing power to rebuild lengthy sequence data in silico using reference genomes. Sanger sequencing of short fragments, using various 'reporters' and computing power to…

What is the purpose of the Human Genome Project? Why do researchers want to know the details of the human genome?
You're the geneticist on a team that's uncovered a Wooly Mammoth in the ice and you want to study the function of its hemoglobin protein. First, you need to PCR amplify the gene to be able to Sanger sequence it. What reference genome do you use to design primers? O The human genome because it's the best O The bat genome because bats are cool O The elephant genome because it likely has the most sequence similarity given evolutionary distance O The E. coli genome because they're such a great model organism O The yeast genome because they're small and they're a eukaryote
Jackson Wang is a biologist working with the genetics of a thermophilic bacterium. He cloned a heat shock gene from the bacteria for further analysis. After cloning, he isolated the plasmid carrying his gene of interest for sequencing. Jackson finally received the nucleotide sequence of his gene. Explain in detail how he could verify whether the nucleotide sequence matches his gene of interest using the bioinformatics databases available.
