Question

A zero-mode waveguide is used to direct light at 4 different parts of this molecule in SMRT. One type of study that uses this molecule plots variations in it as dots on a Manhattan Plot. One type of this molecule can be extracted from bacteria via the alkaline lysis method used by miniprep kits, and this molecule can be stained using (10[1])DAPI. The output of algorithms that analyze this molecule can be used to identify SNPs (“snips”) or (10[1])construct (10[1])phylogenetic trees. Ethidium bromide can be used to fluoresce this molecule in gel electrophoresis (10[1])since it is double stranded. (10[3])For 10 points, name this storage molecule for genetic information contrasted with RNA. ■END■

ANSWER: DNA [or Deoxyribonucleic acid; accept DNA sequences or circular DNA or plasmids; prompt on just sequences by asking “what molecule is the sequence made of?”]
