1. Why has it been useful to sequence entire genomes of different species, including humans?
2. If DNA is only sequenced in small stretches of DNA at one time, how can an entire genome or sequence map be created for any species that has large amounts of DNA (10000's to billions of base-pairs).
3. Gene sequences can be analyzed, but there is also functional genomic studies being conducted. What are some major differences between these two approaches to studying a genome?
4. How can transposons benefit a cell and how can this be a detriment to a cell? How do they function?
5. What are most of the gene products of eukaryotics used for?
6. Why does it seem to be important to look at the sequence of many genes in individuals to determine how they developed a certain disease and what medicines should be used to treat that individual?
