Calculate the percentage of the bacterial genome

Reference no: EM13111770

Sequencing of a new bacterial genome revealed a circular genome of 2.9 x 106 base pairs. Open reading frame (ORF) analysis indicated the presence of 2,120 ORFs that encode proteins with a median length of 270 amino acids (aa) and an average length of 360 aa. Based on this information and assuming that all of the predicted ORFs actually encode proteins, calculate the percentage of the bacterial genome that encodes the cell's complete proteome.
