  • What is Moore's law?

    The observation that the number of transistors on computer chips doubles approximately every two years.
  • What would happen if genomic DNA sequences were composed of random nucleotides?

    All 17-mers would be present once or not at all in any genome.
  • What is the chance of detecting an A in a random DNA sequence?

    1/4
  • What is the chance of detecting a 17-mer sequence?

    (¼)^17 = 1.72x10^10. 
  • What is more complex to sequence, the natural genome or random DNA sequences?

    The natural genome, because there are repetative sequences and it's highly structured.
  • What is vertical coverage?

    The average number of reads that cover each nucleotide in the assembly.
  • What is the horizontal coverage?

    The percentage of the target genome that has been (re)covered in the assembly.
  • What can you detect with metabolomics?

    The reality of the system, which includes effects of post-translational regulation of protein activity.
  • What advantage does transciptomics have over proteomics?

    Nucleic acids are easier to track and they can be amplified.
  • What molecule transcribes DNA into RNA?

    RNA polymerase II
