Document Summary
Genome = complete genetic composition of a cell, organism or species. Segments of chromosomes are cloned and analyzed and mapped. Complete dna sequence provides the most detailed description of an organism"s genome at the molecular level. Functional genomics - studies expression of a genome. Bacterial artificial chromosome can contain large inserted dna fragments. Derived from large plasmids called f factor. Used in research similar to other vectors. Yeast artificial chromosomes are used as vectors in yeast. Mapping - process of determining the relative locations of genes or other dna segments along a chromosome. Physical mapping - determine relative locations of cloned pieces as they would occur in an intact chromosome. Each vector contains a clone with regions that overlap its neighbors. Contig - clones are assembled into a series of contiguous overlapping dna fragments. Dna sequencing - method of determining the base sequence of dna. Dideoxy chain termination method - dideoxy sequencing - used for dna sequencing.
