A) The sequencing of smaller genomes helped in the development of methods that benefited the HGP.
B) Only privately funded groups were involved in the sequencing effort.
C) The HGP was in part spurred on by a desire to determine the specific DNA damage caused by radiation from the atomic blasts on Japan during World War II.
D) One objective of the HGP was to identify genetic changes associated with disease.
E) It was completed in the first decade of the twenty-first century.

A) protein synthesis.
B) DNA repair.
C) DNA replication.
D) reverse transcription.
E) alternative splicing.

A) High-throughput sequencing enables the direct sequencing of a chromosome from one end to the next.
B) Unlike the earlier technology,high-throughput sequencing involves cutting the DNA into fragments.
C) Unlike the earlier technology,high-throughput sequencing relies heavily on miniaturization techniques.
D) High-throughput sequencing involves chemical modification of nucleotides,whereas the earlier technology does not.
E) Unlike the earlier technology,high-throughput sequencing does not use PCR.
