Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Genome and Genome Mapping, 2. DNA Sequencing Technologies, 3. Whole Genome Sequencing and Other Genome Technologies.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 89 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Genome Technology and Engineering after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Genome means total genetic material of a cell
  • Prokaryotic genome includes nucleoid DNA and plasmids
  • Eukaryotic genome includes nuclear, mitochondrial, and plastid DNA
  • RFLP is a restriction site based physical mapping technique
  • Fragments are visualised on agarose gel
  • Circular and linear DNA give different fragment numbers after cutting
  • First generation sequencing used PFGE, cloning vectors, and chain termination
  • Each capillary reads about 800 to 1000 bases
  • A 96-capillary machine can give up to 96000 bases per run

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Genetic mapping and physical mapping are the same thing.

Decreased recombination frequency means the loci are farther apart.

RFLP is based on repeat sequence length, like SSLP.

Memory Tips

Genome definition and its parts in prokaryotes and eukaryotes

Genetic mapping uses recombination frequency

Centimorgan as the unit of genetic distance

Genetic maps are sparsely populated
