DNA synthesis involves the complementary pairing of nucleotide bases. 3. 3.The mechanism by which genetic information is utilized to direct cellular processes involves the synthesis of another type of nucleic acid called ribonucleic acid (RNA). • • Basic principles of molecular biology 4. RNA synthesis occurs through the complementary pairing of ribonucleotide bases with the bases in a DNA molecule. 5. 5.Several types of RNA are responsible for the synthesis of the enzymes, structural proteins, and other polypeptides, that are required for organismal function. 6.

The fingerprint clone contig is depicted as several short, horizontal line segments arranged in parallel. The segments are black, blue, or red. Blue and red segments represent clones with minimal overlap, which are selected for sequencing. Once these overlapping clones have been sequenced, the set is called a sequenced-clone contig. In a closer look at a portion of the sequenced-clone contig, two overlapping individual clones, labeled A and B, are sequenced to at least draft coverage. Sequenced clone A is depicted as red dashed line segments and sequenced clone B is depicted as blue dashed line segments. The data from these sequenced clones are merged to form a merged sequence contig, depicted as a purple line segment. By ordering and orienting the data with mRNA, paired end reads, and other information, the sequences are linked to form a sequence-contig scaffold.

Ovals represent computational processes and arrows between ovals represent the direction and sequence of the steps in the assembly process. Whole genome assembly •In whole-genome assembly, the BAC fragments (red line segments) and the reads from five individuals (black line segments) are combined to produce a contig and a consensus sequence (green line). The contigs are connected into scaffolds, shown in red, by pairing end sequences, which are also called mates. If there is a gap between consecutive contigs, it has a known size. Next, the scaffolds are mapped to the genome (gray line) using sequence tagged site (STS) information, represented by blue stars (Venter, C. et al. The sequence of the human genome. Science 291, 2001) This diagram illustrates the whole-genome assembly method. The BAC fragments and Celera sequence reads were organized into contigs, which were assembled into larger scaffolds. The scaffolds were then mapped to the genome using physical map information.
