In some cases this is accompanied by hyperactivity as well. It is currently being diagnosed at an all time high. Between […]

1. The individual read sizes generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) are typically between 100 – 1000 bp in length, depending on the specific system used. However, NGS is able to provide full-genome sequences for complex organisms. It is able to do this via producing ______________ from the individual reads.-ddNTPs-cDNA-emulsified droplets-contigs-phosphodiester […]

Three questions about mutations in transcription/translation sate. 1. A mutation that makes the A-site of the ribosome about 40% less likely to bind to an amino-acyl tRNA 2. A mutation that changes a Threonine (Thr) tRNA anticodon from 3’UGC’5 to 3’UGG’5. 3. A mutation that allows sigma to bind more […]
