2 Main Methods for Sequencing the Genome | Genetics
Geneticists use following two methods for sequencing the genomes: 1. Clone-by-clone Method 2. Shotgun Cloning. Method # 1. Clone-by-Clone Method: This method was the first to be developed. It begins with the construction of genomic libraries of restriction fragments covering all the genomic DNA (or genomic clones) of an organism. By using genetic markers, overlapping clones are assembled into genetic [...]
