Question
Commonalities between these things are visualized by tools like SyMAP, DAGchainer, and MCScanX. A breakpoint graph is made by overlaying two graphs representing these objects. Finding the shortest sequence of reversals that sorts a signed permutation is needed to determine how one of these things rearranges into another. The Bowtie package uses a Burrows-Wheeler transform to compress these things for fast exact matching. Tools like KAT analyze these things by plotting histograms of (*) k-mer frequencies. Algorithms that compare these objects try to find regions of collinearity or synteny (“SIN-ten-ee”). A task called “assembly” involves reconstructing one of these things by combining “reads” that typically consist of hundreds of base pairs. For 10 points, Craig Venter’s team at Celera competed with a gigantic collaboration funded by the NIH to sequence what part of a human? ■END■
