Is purifying genomic DNA sufficient to determine the sequence of a SNP? Why or why not?
NO, DNA purification is not sufficient to determine the sequence of a SNP ( single nucleotide polymorphism ).
DNA purification is done to remove the substance or enzyme which act as an inhibitor in the further reaction process.
SNP refer to the single nucleotide change because of which the DNA of one individual differ from other. RFLP use restriction enzyme ,there are regions in the genome where restriction site is not present so, those change can be observed by SNP . SNP generally found in intronic regions.
DNA purification is followed by RT-PCR in some cases to determine the sequence . DNA purification does not provide any information regarding the sequence. In SNP we require DNA sequence information to determine the change.
Is purifying genomic DNA sufficient to determine the sequence of a SNP? Why or why not?
You characterize the sequence of a full-length cDNA and the corresponding genomic DNA for a particular intron-containing gene from mouse cells. When you align them to each other using a computer program, the exons of the cDNA align perfectly in some regions with pieces of the genomic DNA, whereas other exons appear to have a small number of specific nucleotide differences compared to the genomic DNA. Assume this genomic DNA and cDNA come from the same individual, and there are...
Why is alkaline SDS used for plasmid DNA isolation but not for genomic DNA isolation?
why are plasmids easier to study than genomic DNA?
1. Below is the genomic sequence for the leading strain of DNA. Write the complimentary lagging strain, complimentary mRNA transcript, and the protein with the amino acid sequence. Use the Codon Table provided. Leading strain : 5’ ATG CCG ATT GCT TCG GGG AAG GAA GGA TTG GCC CCC ACG 3’ Lagging strain: 3’ mRNA transcript:5’ protein amino acid:
Why is an intermediate like mRNA needed to copy the information from the genomic DNA so it can be translated into proteins? Use an example to explain why would you need to extract genomic DNA? What is a plasmid? Where are plasmids found? Explain HOW plasmids play a role in the development of multiple drug resistant strains of bacteria
is genomic or mRNA sequence more useful for drawing a conclusion regarding homology? why?
What is cloning? Why is it necessary to clone genomic DNA fragments when sequencing a genome by the Sanger Shotgun approach?
In order for a human genomic DNA library to fully represent the entire genomic information content of humans, what type of methods must be employed to fractionate the human genomic DNA for making the library?
DNA replication: what is the biology of making a precise copy of the genomic DNA in a timely fashion? What are the issues that need to be resolved? And how? Given that DNA=life, how do you go about dissecting the mechanism of DNA replication? Eukaryotic DNA is highly condensed making it NOT readily available to TF. What is the biological significance of this observation? How is “packing” modulated? And why is it that prokaryotic DNA is not condensed in a...
Human genomic DNA is around 3 billion bps. Why do we see a band around 10kb in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis? Did we do something wrong, damage the DNA and shorten it or something, what kb shall we expect to see it?
