Question

The intron structure of genes in a particular eukaryote is used for predicting the location of genes of genome sequences.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in quiz.

My doubt is from Genome Anatomy in division Collecting & Storing Sequences in Laboratory of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

The explanation is: Other features of eukaryotic genes in a particular organism that are useful for gene prediction include the consensus sequences at exon–intron and intron–exon splice junctions, base composition, codon usage, and preference for neighboring codons. Computational methods incorporate this information into a gene model that may be used to predict the presence of genes in a genome sequence.
