Question
Chapter 18.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The whole genome shotgun approach.
Introduction:
The genome shotgun approach is a method used for sequencing the long strands of DNA. The long chains are sub divided into smaller fragments that are sequenced separately and are then reassembled to give the whole sequence.
