Background: The advent of pyrophosphate sequencing makes large volumes of sequencing data available at a lower cost than previously possible. However, the short read lengths are d...
Shotgun sequencing is the most widely used technique for determining the DNA sequence of organisms. It involves breaking up the DNA into many small pieces that can be read by auto...
