Question

After sequencing the Hemophilus genome and Organisms were selected for sequencing based on minimum criteria. Which of the following is not one of them?

(a) They had been subjected to a good deal of biological analysis

(b) They were model eukaryotic organisms

(c) They were an important human pathogen, e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)

(d) They were of phylogenetic interest

This question was addressed to me in semester exam.

I want to ask this question from Genome Anatomy topic in section Collecting & Storing Sequences in Laboratory of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) They were model eukaryotic organisms

Explanation: There were model prokaryotic organisms. For e.g., E. coli and Bacillus subtilis. The success of sequencing the Hemophilus genome in a relatively short time and with a modest budget heralded the sequencing of a large number of additional prokaryotic organisms.
