Questions for the exam will taken (with some modification) from the various Problem Sets, Study Questions, investigations, and companions covered since the beginning of the semester. The following are fair game:

Problem Sets

• Problem Set 1: Molecular Biology
• Problem Set 2: Computational Investigations
• Problem Set 3: Mapping and Loops
• Problem Set 4: Genome Assembly and Statistics

Study Questions from notes for:

• Companion to Fuller et al (1984)
• Computational detection of origins
• Probability of rare events
• Where Sequences Come From
• Tour of Myers et al (2000)
• Tour of Shine and Dalgarno (1975)

Investigations

• What is a Gene? and companion
• Was Mendel Right? (Part II)

...and that's it! If you can solve these problems and answer the questions, you should be able to do the same readily on the exam.
