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 DAPI. The output of algorithms that analyze this molecule can be used to identify SNPs (“snips”) or construct phylogenetic trees. Ethidium bromide can be used to fluoresce this molecule in gel electrophoresis since it is double stranded. For 10 points, name this storage molecule for genetic information contrasted with RNA. ■END■
