Sequencing of genomes depends on the assembly of a large number of DNA reads into a linear, contiguous DNA sequence.

Sequencing of genomes depends on the assembly of a large number of DNA reads into a linear, contiguous DNA sequence. Correct Answer True

The cost and efficiency of this process has been greatly improved by automatic methods of sequence assembly, first used for the sequencing of the bacterium H. influenza. This same method of assembly was also used, in part, to complete the sequencing of the Drosophila and human genomes in a timely manner.

You create an assembly by using Visual Studio .NET. The assembly is responsible for writing and reading order entry information to and from an XML data file. The assembly also writes and reads values to and from the Windows registry while it is being consumed. The assembly will be distributed to client computers by using your company, XYZ, intranet. All client computers are configured to implement the default .NET security policy. You need to implement security in the assembly. What should you do?

In the following question, sentences of a paragraph have been jumbled and labelled as A, B, C, and D. You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A. As genome sequencing has become quicker and cheaper, those studies have become bigger and more complex. B. As a result, they comb through genomes in search of variations in DNA sequences and use statistical tools to determine whether those variations contribute to traits and diseases. C. Researchers clearly cannot intentionally introduce mutations into humans; instead, they must use what nature provides. D. Geneticists have long been able to introduce genetic mutations into model organisms such as the fruit fly — first with X-rays or chemicals, and now with more sophisticated gene-editing tools — where humans are concerned, the toolbox is more limited.
