11. If you were using a proteomics approach to find the cause of a muscle disorder, which of the following techniques might you be using?

a. creating a genomic library
b. sequencing the gene responsible for the disorder
c. developing physical maps from genomic clones

B. Genetic markers are used to identify clones in shotgun cloning.
C. Computer software assembles the clones in the clone-by-clone method.

B. the chance that these similarities arose due to chance is one in 10^3.
C. there would be 3 matches that good in a database of this size by chance alone.
D. the match in amino acid sequencs is perfect, except for the amino acids at 3 positions.
Ans: C
