front 1 Why are open reading frames important, what do they indicate, and how many are there on single-stranded DNA? | back 1 part of a reading frame that contain no stop codons, sequence of nucleotide triplets read as codons specifying amino acids, a single strand of DNA has THREE possible reading frames, long ORFs indicate candidate coding regions |
front 2 What are the programs and databases are used to annotate, and what does each program and database tell us | back 2 DNA Master – our genome editor Glimmer, GeneMark (Starts/Stops) NCBI, PhagesDB, HHPred (Blast data) Phamerator, Starterator (Comparative data) |
front 3 What is the difference between a gene and gene product? | back 3 a gene is a fundamental unit of heredity, a gene product is biochemical material produced as a result of gene expression |
front 4 What is the difference between a DNA sequence and gene product sequence? | back 4 DNA Sequence: nucleotides Gene Product: amino acids |
front 5 Why is synteny important in the annotation process? | back 5 framework for identifying conserved homologous genes and their gene order between genomes of different species |
front 6 STOP CODONS! | back 6 TAG, TGA, TAA |
front 7 START CODONS! | back 7 ATG, GTG, TTG |
