D) more accurate than the map-based sequencing method
E) less accurate than the map-based sequencing method

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Whole genome sequencing eliminates the need for constructing physical and genetic maps, which makes the process faster compared to the map-based sequencing method. However, it is not stated that it is superior for linkage studies or the only sequencing method currently used in genomics research. The accuracy of whole genome sequencing is comparable to that of map-based sequencing.
