Download or read book DNA Sequencing written by Dr Luke Alphey and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technique of DNA Sequencing lies at the heart of modern molecular biology. Since current methods were first introduced, sequence databases have grown exponentially, and are now an indispensable research tool. This up-to-date, practical guide is unique in covering all aspects of the methodology of DNA sequencing, as well as sequence analysis. It describes the basic methods (both manual and automated) and the more advanced techniques (for example, those based on PCR) before moving on to key applications. The final section focuses on the analysis of sequence data; it details the software available, and explains how the Internet can be used for accessing software and major databases. By explaining the options available and their merits, DNA Sequencing allows newcomers to the field to decide which method is the most suitable for their application. For experienced sequencers the book is a useful reference source for details of the less common techniques and as a means of updating knowledge.

Download or read book The 1 000 Genome written by Kevin Davies and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, President Bill Clinton signaled the completion of the Human Genome Project at a cost in excess of $2 billion. A decade later, the price for any of us to order our own personal genome sequence--a comprehensive map of the 3 billion letters in our DNA--is rapidly and inevitably dropping to just $1,000. Dozens of men and women--scientists, entrepreneurs, celebrities, and patients--have already been sequenced, pioneers in a bold new era of personalized genomic medicine. The $1,000 genome has long been considered the tipping point that would open the floodgates to this revolution. Do you have gene variants associated with Alzheimer's or diabetes, heart disease or cancer? Which drugs should you consider taking for various diseases, and at what dosage? In the years to come, doctors will likely be able to tackle all of these questions--and many more--by using a computer in their offices to call up your unique genome sequence, which will become as much a part of your medical record as your blood pressure.
Download or read book DNA Sequencing Protocols written by Annette M. Griffin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of DNA Sequencing Protocols is to provide detailed practical procedures for the widest range of DNA sequencing meth ods, and we believe that all the vanguard techniques now being applied in this fast-evolving field are comprehensively covered. Sequencing technology has advanced at a phenomenal rate since the original methods were first described in the late 1970s and there is now a huge variety of strategies and methods that can be employed to determine the sequence of any DNA of interest. More recently, a large number of new and innovative sequencing techniques have been developed, including the use of such novel polymerases as Tag poly merase and Sequenase, the harnessing of PCR technology for linear amplification (cycle) sequencing, and the advent of automated DNA sequencers. DNA sequencing is surely one of the most important techniques in the molecular biology laboratory. Sequence analysis is providing an increasingly useful approach to the characterization of biological systems, and major multinational projects are already underway to map and sequence the entire genome of organisms, such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Homo sapiens. Most scientists recognize the importance of DNA sequence data and perceive DNA sequencing as a valuable and indispensable aspect of their work. Recent technological advances, especially in the area of automated sequencing, have removed much of the drudg ery that was formerly associated with the technique, whereas innova tive computer software has greatly simplified the analysis and manipulation of sequence data.

Download or read book Sequencing written by Michael Metzger and published by . This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watson and Crick discovered the human DNA. What made the difference was deciphering it. Like the human body, every organization has a DNA. What will make the difference is not seeing it, but sequencing it. It's the key to long-term success at innovation. Sequencing, written by business consultant Michael Metzger, explores what is required for a company to develop a culture that promotes innovation for the long haul. Harvard's Clayton Christensen reports that few companies have the capacity to innovate. The more success a company achieves, the harder it is for the company to innovate. And yet the reality is that companies innovate or die. Metzger outlines the steps necessary to sustain innovation - the culture, conscience, and C-level leadership required. It begins by having an accurate assessment of human nature and reality. Institutional leaders ignore this book at their peril.
Download or read book Sequence Evolution Function written by Eugene V. Koonin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequence - Evolution - Function is an introduction to the computational approaches that play a critical role in the emerging new branch of biology known as functional genomics. The book provides the reader with an understanding of the principles and approaches of functional genomics and of the potential and limitations of computational and experimental approaches to genome analysis. Sequence - Evolution - Function should help bridge the "digital divide" between biologists and computer scientists, allowing biologists to better grasp the peculiarities of the emerging field of Genome Biology and to learn how to benefit from the enormous amount of sequence data available in the public databases. The book is non-technical with respect to the computer methods for genome analysis and discusses these methods from the user's viewpoint, without addressing mathematical and algorithmic details. Prior practical familiarity with the basic methods for sequence analysis is a major advantage, but a reader without such experience will be able to use the book as an introduction to these methods. This book is perfect for introductory level courses in computational methods for comparative and functional genomics.

Download or read book Next Generation Sequencing Technologies and Challenges in Sequence Assembly written by Sara El-Metwally and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-19 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies resulted in a major transformation in the way scientists extract genetic information from biological systems, revealing limitless insight about the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of any species. However, with NGS, came its own challenges that require continuous development in the sequencing technologies and bioinformatics analysis of the resultant raw data and assembly of the full length genome and transcriptome. Such developments lead to outstanding improvements of the performance and coverage of sequencing and improved quality for the assembled sequences, nevertheless, challenges such as sequencing errors, expensive processing and memory usage for assembly and sequencer specific errors remains major challenges in the field. This book aims to provide brief overviews the NGS field with special focus on the challenges facing the NGS field, including information on different experimental platforms, assembly algorithms and software tools, assembly error correction approaches and the correlated challenges.
