Biology Question on the molecular basis of inheritance
If a geneticist uses the blind approach for sequencing the whole genome of an organism, followed by assignment of functions to different segment, the methodology adopted by him is called as:
A
Sequence annotation
B
Gene mapping
C
Expressed sequence tags
D
Bioinformatics
Answer
Sequence annotation
Explanation
Solution
As part of the Human Genome Project, the Sequence Annotation method was utilized to sequence the entire human genome. This approach involved blindly sequencing the entire genome, including coding and non-coding regions, before later assigning functions to the different regions.
