Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the occurrence of overlapping sequences during sequencing genomes and their arrangement in the final sequence.

Introduction:

A genome is a complete set of genes present in an organism. Genome sequencing deciphers the complete sequence of nucleotides forming the genome of an organism. Most of the eukaryotic organisms are diploid, that is, two copies are present for the same gene or two chromosomes contain the same set of genes. Therefore, one copy of a gene or one set of chromosomes is sequenced.
