MCQ on Shotgun Sequencing







Shotgun sequencing is a method to sequence DNA by randomly breaking it into smaller fragments, sequencing them, and then assembling the overlapping sequences. This approach enables rapid determination of the entire genome, facilitating genomic research and genome assembly. This is an MCQ on Shotgun Sequencing Methodology of DNA Sequencing for Whole Genome Sequencing Studies.
