You are annotating the genomic sequence of a new aerobic freshwater bacterium. You believe you have found a gene that encodes isocitrate lyase. How did you arrive at this conclusion, and how will you strengthen this annotation using only in silico analysis? Reference(s):

Explain the approach that you would apply to sequencing the genome of a newly discovered bacterial species.
You are studying a newly-discovered amoeba and want to determine if its DNA replication origins have a defined consensus sequence. You have worked out how to introduce plasmid DNA into the amoeba; and have plasmids that express a resistance gene for the anti-amoeba drug Amoex (the resistance gene makes the amoeba resistant to the lethal drug Amoex). How would you identify the consensus sequence for DNA replication origins in the amoeba?
