Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The approach of private corporation Celera to the sequencing of the human genome and the advantage of this approach should be explained briefly.
Concept introduction:
A genome is the complete set of DNA of an organic species including all genes.
The mapping of human genome is led by two organizations. They are the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics.
In Celera which is a subsidiary of Quest diagnosis, the complete DNA is fragmented into unidentified particles and using techniques that are driven by supercomputer and instruments a new DNA sequence is established.
Genome Sequencing: Genome Sequencing is figuring out the complete DNA of an organism at once. Using this the order of
