Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of using restriction enzymes in genome mapping?

  • To obtain small fragments
  • To obtain large fragments (correct)
  • To obtain fragments with overlapping sequences
  • To obtain fragments from a specific chromosome
  • What is a genomic library?

  • A collection of large DNA fragments
  • A collection of all DNA fragments from a single chromosome
  • A collection of all DNA fragments from the entire genome (correct)
  • A collection of small DNA fragments
  • What is the purpose of using a radioactive probe in genome mapping?

  • To identify other fragments with overlapping sequences (correct)
  • To create a genomic library
  • To identify the fragment of interest
  • To cut the fragment of interest
  • Study Notes

    • Large maps of genomes require manageable mapped segments
    • Chromosome walks are taken on large DNA fragments
    • Restriction enzymes are used to obtain large fragments
    • The fragments are cloned into hybrid plasmids to create a genomic library
    • The library contains pieces of DNA from the entire genome
    • The fragment of interest is cut with other restriction enzymes and sequenced
    • A radioactive probe is used to identify other fragments with overlapping sequences
    • These fragments are similarly mapped
    • The process allows for the mapping of large segments or entire genomes
    • The task can be overwhelming but is essential for genome mapping.
