Question Completion with Options:
a. targeted gene; variant specific
b. variant specific; variant specific
c. variant specific; targeted gene
d. whole exome; targeted gene
Answer:
Kate was first tested using ___whole exome_____ sequencing, and then Jane and her cousins will have _____targeted gene_______ sequencing done.
Explanation:
The genome's exons are the exome. Exome is the region of the human DNA that is used for coding the human protein products, which are the main active ingredients in the RNA. Since they are the coding portions of the genes, to sequence Kate's DNA, the whole exome or genome's exons are first tested. To identify and establish her relationship with Jane and her cousins, targeted gene sequencing is then carried out since Kate's exome had been isolated initially.
