Finding Gaps in Sequence Reads: Part 2

You can use a genome of a closely related virus as a reference. Many sequence segments should be similar enough to map to different positions on the reference genome.

You start by identifying the virus family. Partial genomic information, for example, from a Virochip experiment can identify the family.

A group of different length lines representing partially assembled sequences. An arrow points to line fragments in a single row below labeled sequences mapped against the reference genome. A solid line below that is labeled Reference genome.
