DNA sequencing
noun
- the procedure of determining the order of base pairs in a section of DNA
DNA sequencing
- The determination of the sequence of nucleotides in a sample of DNA.
DNA sequencing
- A process by which the sequence of nucleotides along a strand of DNA is determined. Originally a difficult process to carry out, DNA sequencing can now be done routinely by machines. The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2000 produced the largest DNA sequence ever assembled. To carry out the sequencing of the human genome, scientists cut the DNA up into short fragments, sequenced these fragments simultaneously, and then assembled the entire genome by using sophisticated computer techniques to match the fragments to each other.
Notes
Example Sentences
Using DNA sequencing technologies, we were able to identify and quantify the microbes detected in each sample.
Federal officials also noted that DNA sequencing of virus obtained from one of the patients is closely related both to infected chickens from that farm, as well as to the first dairy worker infected in Texas in April and to infected dairy herds located near the Colorado poultry farm.
The researchers further investigated eight of the samples via 3D-guided microdissection and DNA sequencing of specific PanINs.
The discovery was enabled by a single-cell sequencing technology called Strand-seq, a unique DNA sequencing technique that can reveal subtle details of genomes in single cells that are too difficult to detect with other methods.
Now, after a heroic DNA sequencing effort, a collaboration involving hundreds of scientists has created a new family tree for flowering plants.
