Displayed here are 23 pairs of chromosomes -- one copy of the human genome. How is the genome sequenced? Let's do a little sequencing ourselves to find out... Current technology lets us read only 500 ...
After sequencing fragments of DNA to obtain reads, most genomic pipelines follow one of two steps. The reads can be de novo assembled to construct longer stretches called contigs from scratch, with ...
A research team led by Professor Tong Zhang from the Department of Civil Engineering of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has developed a computational tool, Argo, designed ...
Shotgun sequencing is performed by randomly fragmenting DNA sequences into small pieces, followed by computer-based reassembly of DNA fragments by finding overlapping ends. This technique is used for ...
Sanger sequencing involves sequencing DNA by first copying single-stranded DNA by adding nucleotides to the chain. Each DNA fragment is terminated by the incorporation of a fluorescently labeled ...
