Sample Question 1
What is the fundamental principle behind whole genome shotgun sequencing?

The genome is sequenced one chromosome at a time in strict order from start to finish

The entire genome is randomly fragmented into many small overlapping pieces, each piece is sequenced, and a computer algorithm assembles the fragments back into the complete genome using overlapping regions

Each gene is individually isolated and sequenced using specific probes before assembly

Only the protein-coding regions of the genome are fragmented and sequenced

Sample Question 2
In whole genome shotgun sequencing, the genomic DNA fragments must be cloned into bacterial vectors before sequencing can begin in all modern sequencing platforms.

True

False

Sample Question 3
What is a sequencing read in the context of whole genome shotgun sequencing?

The complete assembled genome sequence from one chromosome

A single short nucleotide sequence produced from one fragment during a sequencing run

The quality score assigned to an entire genome assembly

The alignment of two overlapping genome scaffolds
