Funding for malaria genome sequencing

For Genome Sequencing Submission:

We are resubmitting as an attachment a white paper requesting an 8-fold coverage draft genome sequence for the opisthobranch mollusc, Aplysia californica. As described in the proposal, Aplysia is a major model organism for studies in cellular, molecular and behavioral neuroscience, integrative physiology and system biology. It is also ideally placed taxonomically to serve as an important organi...

Genome Sequencing

The concept of genome sequencing is quite simple. Break your genome up into many different small fragments, clone those fragments into a cloning vector, isolate many clones, and sequence each clone. All of the techniques used for sequencing are well established. These are the same techniques that scientists used for the past twenty years to characterize many different individual genes. Using th...

Vertical and horizontal equity of funding for malaria control: a global multisource funding analysis for 2006–2010

Background International and domestic funding for malaria is critically important to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Its equitable distribution is key in ensuring that the available, scarce, resources are deployed efficiently for improved progress and a sustained response that enables eradication. Methods We used concentration curves and concentration indices to assess inequalities...

Whole Genome Sequencing: An Efficient Approach in Food Safety Management System

Comparing whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing

Introduction Next-generation DNA sequencing empowers scientists to identify genetic variations associated with human disease at higher resolution and greater sensitivity than previously possible. Two approaches are commonly employed -exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing. Exome sequencing targets protein-coding regions comprising approximately 1% of the human genome, while whole genome s...
