Preferred Label : Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing;
NCIt definition : A DNA sequencing method, which involves random sequencing of tiny cloned pieces of
the genome, with no foreknowledge of where on a chromosome the piece originally came
from. The sequences obtained have a considerable overlap and by using appropriate
computer software it is possible to compare sequences and align them to build larger
units of genetic information. This sequencing strategy can be automated and leads
to rapid sequencing information.;
