As in the title.
What is the diff on the shotgun sequencing method and other methods (Sanger, or NGS)?
Thanks.

A bit of searching would have landed you here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_sequencing -
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.Originally posted by arkilis View Post
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.Last edited by kmcarr; 09-23-2013, 07:54 PM.Comment

Thanks, I went to Shotgun wiki page. So many terminologies get me lost there...Originally posted by GenoMax View Post

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
