Outline of the Talk • Genomes • Methods for Genome Sequencing • (Y)BAC-to-(Y)BAC (HSG) • Shotgun Sequencing • Primer walking • Optical mapping • Direct Reads • Polonies • High density reactors
What are genomes? A genome is the whole native DNA content within a cell for any given organism Genomes code for all proteins an organism needs to survive
What are genomes? Sequencing and annotating a genome reveals the proteins, tRNAs, rRNAs that each organisms possesses to adapt to their environment
Why sequence genomes? AACTGGTCCAT Genome Sequence

Primer Walking Sequencing an initial fragment. Use the end of this sequence to design a primer Primer will capture next fragment to be sequenced Repeat until the end of the chromosome is reached

New challenges in genome sequencing • Many organisms have been sequenced Finding intraspecific variations (e.g. SNPs) Study evolution of strains • Faster & Cheaper sequencing methods are needed • These should also be able to deal with single molecules
