Generate Genome Assemblies Using Long Sequencing Reads
Overview De novo genome assembly is the process of splicing DNA fragments into contiguous segments (overlapping clusters) representing the chromosomes of an organism. Accurate, complete and contiguous genome assemblies are essential for identifying important structural and functional elements of the genome and for recognizing genetic variation. However, the short read lengths produced...

Introduction to The Complete Sequence of a Human Genome
Overview The human genome, the genetic code that makes us uniquely human, has been the subject of scientific study and fascination for decades. The human genome contains approximately 3.055 billion base pairs. These are the molecular building blocks of DNA, consisting of adenine (A) paired with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) paired with guanine (G). This vast number is a testament not only...

What Are Microbial Eukaryotes and How to Study Them
Overview of Microbial Eukaryotes Living organisms are classified according to various characteristics. One of the classification systems is based on their cellular component, structure, and function. Hence, living organisms, including microorganisms, can be classified as either eukaryotes or prokaryotes. The main difference between the two is the presence of membrane-bound organelles, including...

Epigenetics Sequencing for Studying Bacterial Methylation
DNA methylation, histone variants, histone modifications, and nucleosome positioning are pathways for epigenetic regulation in eukaryotes. Bacteria, on the other hand, lack histones and nucleosomes; hence, they primarily use DNA methylation as their epigenetic gene regulation. There are three different types of DNA methylation in bacterial genomes: N4-methylcytosine (4mC), N6-methyladenine...
