Whole Genome Sequencing Top Journals

 Whole genome sequencing is essentially the one-time method of evaluating the full DNA sequence of an organism's genome. This includes sequencing all of the chromosomal DNA of an organism as well as the DNA found in the mitochondria and in the chloroplast, for plants. In practice, near-complete genome sequences are also called sequences of whole genomes. Whole genome sequencing should not be confused with DNA profiling, which only establishes the likelihood that genetic material originated from a single person or group, and does not provide detailed knowledge on genetic associations, origin or vulnerability to specific diseases. Although capillary sequencing was the first method to successfully sequencing an almost complete human genome, it is still too costly for commercial purposes, and takes too long. High-throughput (formerly "next generation") sequencing technologies such as Illumina dye sequencing, pyrosequencing, and SMRT sequencing have progressively displaced capillary sequencing since 2005. Many innovations, including the nanopore process, are evolving. Although the technology for nanopore sequencing is still being refined, its portability and the potential for generating long reads are relevant for full-genome sequencing applications.
