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 [...]
Bioinformatics provides the following tools for analysing genomic information: 1. Compiling the Accurate Sequence 2. Annotation. Tool # 1. Compiling the Accurate Sequence: To ensure that the nucleotide sequence of a genome is complete and error free, the genome is sequenced more than once. For example, using the shotgun method on the genome of the bacterium pseudomonas aeruginosa, researchers, sequenced [...]
Euthenics is a branch of applied genetics under which are studied the methods of providing, the best environmental conditions to 'nurture' to ensure complete expression of all eugenic traits in the developing children. Euthenics recommends the following methods to ensure maximum expression of genes of superior traits in the children. 1. Selection of Children with Superior Traits: The primary requirement [...]
