What are the major advantages for using RNA-seq than using microarray to measure gene expression? a) RNA-seq can more accurately measure expression level for those highly abundant transcripts. b) All of the above. c) RNA-seq can detect novel transcripts without the information of genome or transcriptome sequences. d) RNA-seq has low noise which can better quantify the transcripts with low abundance.

3. RNA-seq technologies (10 points) a) (5 points) In the genome, some genes have sequences that are very very similar to others (e.g. there might be two genes whose sequences are 99% identical). What difficulties would that cause to the analysis of RNA-seq data? (2-3 lines for each) b) (5 points) Give two reasons why the expression measurements obtained from RNA-seq experiments may not necessarily reflecting the abundance of proteins in the sample?

DNA sequences can also be used for phylogenetic analysis, but this approach relies on the growth and cultivation of microorganisms in the lab and knowledge of specific gene products and sequences. What is the major advantage of using small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences for phylogenetic analysis over DNA sequences? Choose the best answer. Both SSU rRNA gene and DNA sequences are equally beneficial for phylogenetic analysis. SSU rRNA is a better indicator of phylogeny. Standard primers exist for SSU rRNA gene sequences. Primers are required in DNA sequence analysis, but not SSU rRNA sequence analysis. PCR products can be visualized.
