Document Summary
Sequencing dna - obtaining the order of nucleotides that make up a dna molecule. Sequencing genome - assembling all of those sequences into something that makes sense. Encompasses sequencing the dna itself and assembling those sequences into a genomic sequence. Disadvantage: whole-genome sequencing method: you dont actually know where youre sequencing from: public project. Advantages: when you sequence as a hierarchical shotgun you know where in the chromosome you"re sequencing from. Both sequencing and rearranging those same fragments into genomic sequences. Differences lie in the strategies used to assemble the sequences. 1) selecting the bac clones - pre sequencing. Were going to select the cones were going to sequence. When fragmenting dna and sending it to different people - dsdna doesn"t like to be in a linear fragment. Needs to be in a vector so it can be preserved for a long time.
