List three independent techniques you could use toidentify DNA sequences encoding human geneswithin a cloned genomic region.
what is the whole-genome shotgun sequencing? Also briefly explain its strategy to assemble the genome sequence.
In the practical you have been analysing a human genomic library. You know from your calculations that only a small proportion of the human genome is represented, even when the entire class results are considered. Therefore, the chance of finding a particular single-copy gene in your library is very small.
Outline a strategy for constructing a genomic DNA library more representative of the entire human genome. You will need to consider alternative vectors and the efficiency of transformation of the bacterial cells.
