Improving Metagenomic Sequencing Significantly by Using the TruSPADES Method

Researchers from St. Petersburg State University developed a method to improve the sequencing ability of DNA greatly, like life microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract or the ocean bacteria in a new study. This TruSPADES method assembles the short reads from the 300 base pairs of Illumina machine through computer into synthetic long reads. The […]

Genome Sequencing—Direct Sequencing of PCR Products

Nowadays, the direct sequencing of PCR products has already played a significant role in molecular biology and genomics research. Such sequencing is widely applied to the detection of gene mutation, diagnosis of genetic diseases, and polymorphism research of single nucleotide. Compared with traditional clone sequencing, direct sequencing of PCR products conducts sequencing towards the amplified […]

Interesting facts about Genomics From the Greek ΓΕΝ (gen), “gene” (gamma, epsilon, nu, epsilon) means “become, create, creation, birth”. While the word genome from the German Genom, attributed to Hans Winkler was in use in English as early as 1926, the term genomics was coined by Tom Roderick, a geneticist at the Jackson Laboratory (Bar […]
