Genome science finds modular and conserved units of inheritance, identified as homologous genes. Such genes are cybernetic, transmitting information over generations; this too requires multi-leveled analysis, from DNA transcription to development and reproduction of the whole organism. Genes are conserved;...
What is a genome? What is the role of DNA electrophoresis in DNA fingerprinting? What is DNA polymerase responsible for? What is the purpose of doing the No DNA control? What is chromatin? What is the function of Z-DNA? What strand is synthesized during DNA replication?
The Human Genome Project In the field of biology, the term “sequencing” refers to the determination of the sequence of units of a linear polymer. DNA sequencing, therefore, is the use of methods and technologies to determine the identity and order of the four nucleotide bases (adenine, guan...
What is the smallest DNA virus? What DNA virus does not use the nucleus to replicate? What is the largest DNA virus? How does a DNA virus replicate? What is an example of DNA replication? What is a RNA virus genome? Which type of DNA virus has a single-stranded genome?
How is DNA sequenced? DNA sequencing involves technology that allows researchers to determine the order of bases in a section of DNA. The technology can be used to determine the order of bases in genes, chromosomes or an entire genome. In 2000, researchers completed a "working draft" sequence...

Dark DNA is the genetic code in the human genome that currently has no known original source. We have traced 8% of the human genome to viruses. 1-2% of our genome comes from other animals. Believe it or not you share 55% of your genetic code with a banana – and that’s not just...
researchers found that as much as 63% of the genome is transcribed but only about 1% to 2% is translated into a functional protein product (FANTOM Consortiumet al., 2005). So not only is the notion of colinearity overly simplistic, but so too is the notion that all genes encode proteins...
is files containing base calls assembled into sequencing reads (FASTQ files) and their associated quality scores (Phred quality score). Secondary analysis involves read filtering and trimming based on quality, followed by alignment of reads to a reference genom...
