How Could Overlapping Genes in a Positive SsDNA Virus Genome

question 50

Multiple Choice

How could overlapping genes in a positive ssDNA virus genome be predicted?

• A) Convert the positive ssDNA into its complementary ssDNA and search for genes in the negative ssDNA strand for sequences used in more than one predicted gene.
• B) Directly search the three frames of the positive ssDNA for genes that have sequences where more than one gene is predicted.
• C) Convert the positive ssDNA into negative ssDNA and search all six possible frames for genes that use part of the same sequence.
• D) Convert the positive ssDNA into its complementary ssDNA and search for genes in the negative ssDNA strand that also share a complementary gene in the positive strand.
