The strategy that was ultimately the most successful in sequencing the human genome was
A) the clone-by-clone technique.
B) the recombinant DNA approach.
C) the epigenesis approach.
D) the whole genome shotgun approach.
E) the exome approach.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The whole genome shotgun approach involved breaking the human genome into small fragments, sequencing those fragments, and then assembling them back together. This approach proved to be much faster and less expensive than the other methods, ultimately leading to the successful sequencing of the human genome.
