In the past there decades, our understanding of the human genome has increased exponentially, together with the rapid growth of sequence databases and bioinformatics tools. And the pressure to produce more, faster, and cheaper DNA sequences become pivotal for scientific research. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, advances in microarray techniques allowed scientists […] The post Difference Between Whole Genome Sequencing and Next Generation Sequencing first appeared on Differ

Human DNA sequence. Computer screen display of a human DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence as a series of coloured bands.

New sequencing machine will reportedly have the capability of sequencing an entire genome for less than $100, rather than the $1,000 it currently costs.

This article gives a brief guide to bioinformatics workflow for whole genome sequencing, including whole-genome assembly, annotation, and variant calling.

This article presents the bioinformatics workflow of whole exome sequencing and related tools.

Your DNA makes you, you -- but how does it work? These talks explore what we know about the genome, the unique genetic sequence that makes up life as we know it.

Sequencing the first human genome was a herculean effort that took 13 years, hundreds of researchers around the globe and billions of dollars.

Whole genome testing may sometimes be used to identify the gene(s) responsible for HCM when targeted genetic testing has been inconclusive.

"The function of Taq DNA polymerase in PCR is to amplify or synthesize DNA or gene of interest for various downstream applications. It's a type of thermostable DNA polymerase, work at a higher temperature as well."
