Chapter 20, Problem 1

In this chapter, we focused on the analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes and considered important applications and findings from these endeavors. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?

How do we know which contigs are part of the same chromosome?

Video transcript

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question Together. If the following sequence is contact one, which of the following sequences can be considered contact too. So what does a contact mean in this question? Well, contact is a set of D N. A sequences that overlap in a way that can provide a continuous D N. A molecule within a chromosome. And the way that we can find the sequence that would be considered that context too is by looking at the sequence that is provided and figure out which of the following answer choices have the highest number of the same basis as this given sequence. And looking at our options, we can see that answer choice B contains the highest number of the same basis as is given sequence, making it the correct answer. Because when we look at our given sequence, we can see this pattern of T g t a g c g t t a T. Which when we look in answer choice B. We can see that similar pattern right here, meaning that it has the highest number of the same basis as are given sequence and can be considered contact to. So, answer choice B is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
