Question

Which of the given statement is incorrect regarding MAGPIE?

(a) It analyzes the genome using a set of automated processes

(b) It is designed for high-throughput genome sequence analysis

(c) It is unable to locate potential promoters

(d) It automatically annotates genomic sequence data and maintains a daily up-to-date record in response to user queries about one or more genomes

The question was posed to me in an interview.

My question is from Functional Classification of Genes in section Genome Analysis of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) It is unable to locate potential promoters

For explanation: The system also uses a set of rules in logic programming to make decisions that may be used to interpret information from various sources. It has been used to locate potential promoters, terminators, start codons, Shine-Dalgarno sites, DNA motif sites, co-transcription units, and putative operons in microbial genomes. These sites are shown on a map display of the genome that may be edited.
