1.- Remember that Sanger sequencing will throw the complete nucleotide sequence so you will be able to distinguish each nucleotide base in each position.
a) Silent mutation: This is a mutation that changes the codon but the new codon codes for the same amino acid. Sure you will be able to note this with Sanger sequencing, it will appear as a substitution in the respective site
b) An insertion of 6 nucleotides: Sure you will be able to notice this with Sanger sequence, in the alignment you will notice it by the presence of a gap in the unmutated strand
c) A sense mutation: This is actually the same to silent mutation, you will see this as a substitution in the respective site
2.- The phoshphodiester bond is the one that links each nucleotide in the back bone of DNA, a break in this bonds means a complemete break in the DNA strand. The factors capable of doing this are Topoisomerase, Deadenylase and Spliceosome.
Question 2 Classical DNA sequencing is a powerful technique. Consider a situation where you first sequence...
Next-generation sequencing involves: A. generating many short sequences from an intact, continuous DNA sequence. B. generating many short sequences from fragmented DNA. C. splicing together DNA fragments. D. adding multiple probes to fragmented DNA. What is the difference between a mutation and a polymorphism? A. A mutation can exist in a single person; a polymorphism must exist in at least 2% of the population. B. A mutation involves a single base pair; a polymorphism involves many base pairs. C. Mutations...
