Genome Assembly Relies On

Question

Genome assembly relies on
A) accurate gene annotation.
B) overlap of a large numbers of short sequences.
C) codon bias.
D) systems biology.

Accepted Answer

Genome assembly relies on overlapping a large number of short sequences, such as those obtained through next-generation sequencing technologies. Accurate gene annotation and codon bias may be important for downstream analysis, but they are not the primary focus of genome assembly. Systems biology is a broader field that encompasses genome assembly but also includes other approaches to studying biological systems.
