Bioinformatics:Genomics:DNA Sequencing

ADVERTISEMENTS

Bioinformatics:Genomics:DNA Sequencing:

Bioinformatics lies in first place on DATA (Genomics & Proteomics...etc), so without data, Bioinformatics have nothing to analyse.

Before we can use analysis softwares we should have DNA or Protein sequences, so the first thing we have to do is sequencing.

The term DNA Sequencing refers to the methods applied to identify the order of DNA nucleotides or bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine).

Now with the advancements of technology, DNA Sequencing is indispensable for the most of biological researches because its the only way to provide almost complete and accurate data.

DNA Sequencing methods:
There are many ways or methods of DNA Sequencing but i like to introduce the sanger method explained by the beautiful and easy animation HERE


I picked the Sanger or (dideoxy) method, because its the more commonly used and the easier to apply.

Any questions comment.
