Suppose you were using paired-end sequencing with 250 cycles. How much of the genome of a stickleback fish would you expect to sequence at >7X coverage if you used EcoRI/MspI?

Answer #1

One can cover almost the entire genome of stickleback fish as ECoR1 occurs 1/46= 1 in 4096 no sequence as it is 6 bp cutter. MsP1 on the other hand is a 4bp cutter and occurs in 1/44 bp. Thus one would cover most of the regions of the genome when coverage is 7x. Though there will be several centromeric repeats paired sequencing can give considerable degree of coverage . Assembly of the sequences will be consuming time. At greater than 7x coverage one will obtain more than 90% of the genome
