Comparing mRNA sequences for known proteins is advantageous as mRNA is available in the cytoplasm and more similar base sequences indicate closer relation; the disadvantage is needing to know what the mRNA codes for and the exclusion of introns that could indicate long-term relationships.
A comparação de sequências de mRNA para proteínas conhecidas é vantajosa porque o mRNA está disponível no citoplasma e mais sequências de bases semelhantes indicam um parentesco mais próximo; a desvantagem é a necessidade de saber o que o mRNA codifica e a exclusão de íntrons que poderiam indicar relações de longo prazo.
| Front | What is the method of mRNA sequence and what are its pros and cons |
|---|---|
| Back | Method: compare mRNA sequence for known proteins PROS: available in the cytoplasm. The more base sequences similar the more closely related CONS: Need to know what the mRNA codes for to look for it. Will not include introns which could have indicated long term relationships |
