Whole Genome Shotgun
نویسنده
چکیده
The motivation for sequencing genomes is rather direct. According to the central dogma of biology, elements of the genome are translated via several mechanisms into the structure and function of organisms. But in order to study genomes, we must first sequence them. Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) is a successful method for sequencing genomes. This lecture we will discuss how WGS works, some of the challenges involved, solutions to these challenges.

Estimation of the Redundancy in Human Genome Shotgun Sequencing by a Monte-Carlo Simulation
In order to quantitatively comprehend the essence of whole genome shotgun sequencing, a Monte-Carlo simulation was carried out. It was estimated that even a vast genome such as human genome can be sequenced at a moderate redundancy ( 7) with a satisfactory accuracy (10 error rate), resulting in a high sequencing speed and much lower cost. Switching from a random process (i.e., shotgun) to a dir...
متن کاملWhole-genome shotgun sequencing of a colonizing multilocus sequence type 17 Streptococcus agalactiae strain.
This report highlights the whole-genome shotgun draft sequence for a Streptococcus agalactiae strain representing multilocus sequence type (ST) 17, isolated from a colonized woman at 8 weeks postpartum. This sequence represents an important addition to the published genomes and will promote comparative genomic studies of S. agalactiae recovered from diverse sources.
متن کاملWhole genome shotgun sequencing of Indian strains of Streptococcus agalactiae
Group B streptococcus is known as a leading cause of neonatal infections in developing countries. The present study describes the whole genome shotgun sequences of four Group B Streptococcus (GBS) isolates. Molecular data on clonality is lacking for GBS in India. The present genome report will add important information on the scarce genome data of GBS and will help in deriving comparative genom...
متن کاملOptimized multiplex PCR: efficiently closing a whole-genome shotgun sequencing project.
A new method has been developed for rapidly closing a large number of gaps in a whole-genome shotgun sequencing project. The method employs multiplex PCR and a novel pooling strategy to minimize the number of laboratory procedures required to sequence the unknown DNA that falls in between contiguous sequences. Multiplex sequencing, a novel procedure in which multiple PCR primers are used in a s...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Streptomyces sp. JHA26, a Strain That Harbors a PA14 Domain Containing β-d-Galactofuranosidase
The genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain JHA26, the culture supernatant of which exhibited β-d-galactofuranosidase (Galf-ase) activity, was analyzed to search for a Galf-ase-encoding gene. We report here the results of whole-genome shotgun sequencing and reveal the identity of a new Galf-ase gene.
متن کاملSequence determination from overlapping fragments: a simple model of whole-genome shotgun sequencing.
Assembling fragments randomly sampled from along a sequence is the basis of whole-genome shotgun sequencing, a technique used to map the DNA of the human and other genomes. We calculate the probability that a random sequence can be recovered from a collection of overlapping fragments. We provide an exact solution for an infinite alphabet and in the case of constant overlaps. For the general pro...
