Genomics Quiz
1. The human genome is comprised of how many base pairs (bp)?
3 BILLION
2. The strategy for obtaining a genomic sequence can be divided into four categories: 1) overlap contigs for complete sequence, 2) sequence each fragment, 3) cut many genome copies in to random fragments, and 4) overlap sequence reads. Wat is the ORDER of the four categories?
3, 2, 4, AND 1
3. The term COVERAGE, when applied to genomics, means:
SEQUENCING THE SAME BASE PAIR MULTIPLE TIMES
4. What approach would you use to sequence the genome of a newly discovered bacterial species?
