  • (newbie question) What is the diff on shotgun method and the other methods?

    As in the title.

    What is the diff on the shotgun sequencing method and other methods (Sanger, or NGS)?

    Thanks.

      I think you are confused about some basic terminology. Shotgun is a sequencing strategy. Sanger or NGS are sequencing methodologies (though "NGS" is a generic term which encompasses several different technologies). The shotgun strategy may be carried out using many different methodologies/technologies, including the two you have listed.

      GenoMax is correct. There are several very good introductory tutorials about sequencing strategies and technologies a mere Google search away. It wouldn't be useful to simply repeat here what is already well described elsewhere.

        Thanks, I went to Shotgun wiki page. So many terminologies get me lost there...

          Thanks a lot. The answer is quite clear and straightforward.

            How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
            by seqadmin



            Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...

            Methods for Investigating the Transcriptome
            by seqadmin




            Ribonucleic acid (RNA) represents a range of diverse molecules that play a crucial role in many cellular processes. From serving as a protein template to regulating genes, the complex processes involving RNA make it a focal point of study for many scientists. This article will spotlight various methods scientists have developed to investigate different RNA subtypes and the broader transcriptome.
