Show transcribed image text Often when a genome sequence is first released to the public, it is a called a "draft" genome. Refer to your book, as well as Google (or your favorite search engine) to read about the differences between a "draft" genome sequence and a "finished" high quality genome sequence. Which of the following are characteristics of draft genomes? Check all that apply. They may contain sequence gaps. The sequence could be complete, but some pieces are in the wrong order or orientation (i.e., there is some misassembly.) There may be some mistakes in the sequence, especially if the number of sequencing reads that cover a particular region is low. There may be repeat regions (such as heterochromatin), where the exact sequence (i.e., the number of repeats) could not be determined.
