Professor Tan and his research collaborators have successfully sequenced and characterised the entire genome of the newly identified earthworm species. Upon further genome analysis, he demonstrated that the earthworm genome constitutes mostly of repetitive DNA and non-coding sequences. Elaborate Professor Tan's analysis.

Introduction:

DNA sequencing is a technique that is used for determining the exact sequence of bases (A, C, G, and T) in a stretch of the DNA molecule. This information is used for the formation of proteins by the process of transcription and translation.
