An outbreak of a disease has been spreading through a small community. Using samples taken from infected patients, which of the following tests BEST enable doctors at the CDC to identify an unknown pathogen from the outbreak?

• a.) Determine the sequence of the pathogen's DNA with an automated sequencer and then amplify key genes using PCR.

• b.) Determine the sequence of the pathogen's DNA using recombinant DNA methods and then amplify the sequence using PCR.

• c.) Use an automated sequencer to determine the nucleotide sequence of the samples, then compare these sequences with known organisms using BLAST.

• d.) Use PCR to amplify the genome of the infected patients, then BLAST the genome results.
