Shotgun sequencing 1 article

In biotechnology workflows, shotgun sequencing functions as a genome sequencing strategy built around random DNA fragmentation. Its defining logic links untargeted sequencing strategy and overlapping sequence reads with whole genome assembly, while contig reconstruction, de novo genome sequencing and fragment library sequencing indicate the measurements, molecular events or applications most closely associated with the entity. The tag describes the method itself, not a sequencing company or named instrument; its identity is anchored by random DNA fragmentation rather than by the hardware used to generate the data.
