The method of sequencing genomic fragments cloned directly from the genome is:
A)Cytogenetic mapping
B)Shotgun sequencing
C)Southern blotting
D)Polymerase chain reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shotgun sequencing involves randomly breaking up the genome into smaller fragments, sequencing them, and then assembling them into the final genome sequence. This method allows for the sequencing of large, complex genomes and has been used in many genome projects, including the Human Genome Project. Cytogenetic mapping and Southern blotting are methods for visualizing specific regions of the genome, while polymerase chain reaction is a technique for amplifying specific DNA sequences.
