The method of sequencing genomic fragments cloned straight from the genome is
A) cytogenetic mapping.
B) shotgun sequencing.
C) southern blotting.
D) dideoxy blotting.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shotgun sequencing is a method of randomly breaking up DNA into small fragments, cloning them, and then sequencing them individually. The resulting sequence data can then be assembled into a full genome sequence. Cytogenetic mapping focuses on the physical mapping of chromosomes, while Southern blotting and dideoxy blotting are methods used to detect specific DNA sequences, rather than sequencing entire genomes.
