Question

The remote homology detection helps to shed light on the possible functions of the proteins that previously have no functional information at all.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in homework.

Question is from Genome Annotation topic in portion Genome Mapping, Assembly and Comparison of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) True

Easiest explanation: The bioinformatic analysis can spur an important advance in knowledge in many cases. Some hypothetical proteins, because of their novel structural folds, still cannot be predicted even with the advanced bioinformatics approaches and remain challenges for both experimental and computational work.
