Tracing Fragments to an Assembled, Annotated Genome Sequence

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

This procedure traces a genome from randomly fragmented DNA through Sanger sequencing, shotgun assembly, and annotation to a usable, function-labeled sequence.

Watch for

Assembly produces a raw sequence; annotation is a separate, later step attaching known gene identities to it — an unannotated genome carries no labeled meaning.
