The strategies used for sequencing genomes include the Sanger method, shotgun sequencing, pairwise end, and next-generation sequencing.
Genome annotation is the identification and understanding of the genetic elements of a sequenced genome.
Homology describes the relationship between genes and how they are inherited from ancestors.
DNA can be synthesized chemically for a number of purposes.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method by which DNA is amplified.
Sanger sequencing is based on the incorporation and detection of labeled ddNTPs as terminal nucleotides in DNA amplification.
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material derived from environmental samples.
A reporter fusion is the hybrid of a gene or portion of a gene with a tractable marker.
