Dr. Kim at Ewha Research Center performed shotgun Sanger sequencing on an
unknown DNA sample, and obtained the following reads (12 reads). Since the length of each
read is quite short, Dr. Kim ran the original sample in a gel electrophoresis, and realized that
the original DNA is just 50 base pairs long. (Please note that the resolution of gel
electrophoresis is not so good. Thus, we cannot figure out the exact length of DNA using gel
electrophoresis in the real world.)

(a}
Find the sequence of the original DNA (reconstruction), and align each read with
the reconstructed DNA sequence. (hint: put all reads on a ppt slide, and move them around
to find overlaps.)
(b)
Calculate coverage at each nucleotide position of the reconstructed DNA, i.e., how
many reads cover that particular nucleotide.
RX N
(c)
The average coverage of the sequencing is defined as
where R is the
L
average length of reads, N is the number of reads, and L is the length of the whole genome.
Using this definition, find the average coverage of this shotgun Sanger sequencing.
