Interpreting DNA sequencing data: answers to the quiz

By sporte on November 20, 2007.

Which read(s):

  • 1. contain either a SNP (a single nucleotide polymorphism) or a position where different members of a multi-gene family have a different base?

    • C

  • 2. doesn't have any DNA?

    • B

  • 3. is a PCR product?

    • A, B, and C.  All of three reads were obtained by sequencing PCR products, generated with the same set of primers.

The quality plots that I refer to are here.

"Scientists for a better PCR" (hat tip Scienceblogs.de)

Scienceblogs has a German cousin, Scienceblogs.de where I found this absolutely hilarious YouTube music video, "Scientists for a better PCR." Yes, it's an advert for a PCR device called a thermocycler but it's incredibly funny -- if you have that kind of sense of humor.
