DNA SEQUENCING AND APPLICATION OF NGS TO STUDY AGRICULTURALLY IMPORTANT LIVESTOCK: PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
*R.Umaya Suganthi, Manpal Sridhar
ABSTRACT Unraveling the secret behind the sequence of DNA could be achieved by sequencing of DNA. Success in the endeavor of sequencing DNA, in part and as a whole was made possible by the amazing efforts of researchers worldwide. Sequencing of DNA started with small portions; and today, with the available Next Generation Sequencing Technologies, the whole genome of organisms could be sequenced accurately within a reasonable cost and time. Such information could be exploited to reduce infection and increase production in livestock. In this paper, the information about DNA, its structure, the efforts taken for initiating the sequencing of DNA, the latest sequencing platforms and the application of DNA sequencing in agriculturally important livestock are discussed. Keywords: DNA sequencing, next generation platforms, whole genome, livestock. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
