Strategies Used in Sequencing Projects
The strategies used for sequencing genomes include the Sanger method, shotgun sequencing, pairwise end, and next-generation sequencing.
Use of Whole-Genome Sequences of Model Organisms
Sequencing genomes of model organisms allows scientists to study homologous proteins in more complex eukaryotes, such as humans.
Uses of Genome Sequences
Genome sequences and expression can be analyzed using DNA microarrays, which can contribute to detection of disease and genetic disorders.
