In simple terms, it's a process where they essentially "unzip" the genes of living things into their billions of chemical building blocks to determine the exact order of the chemicals. It's useful for finding inherited diseases, identifying family lineage, etc since certain illnesses and traits have been found to be linked to certain chemical strands in DNA. It also helps when people are trying to breed certain traits into an animal or plant species. They can use DNA sequencing to find specimens that have the traits they want as a dominant trait in their DNA and cultivate them in such a way as to encourage that trait to emerge most of the time.

∙ 10y agoIf you think of how to go from one large city to another, you will need a map. Molecular sequencing does the same job. The person doing this is trying to find out which molecule is attached to which and in what order.

How could pcr be used to diagnose diseases or other medical conditions?
PCR itself cannot be used to diagnose a disease; it is only useful for amplifying a DNA sample. Molecular analysis can only be done with subsequent techniques, such as electrophoresis and DNA sequencing.
Is glucose molecular or ionic?
Molecular and covalent.
Is the molecular formula of sulfur dioxide ionic or molecular?
Molecular
Is dinitrogen pentoxide ionic or molecular?
Molecular. (Molecular and covalent compounds are the same).
Is IF5 molecular or ionic?
Molecular.
What methods are used to determine phylogenies?
Phylogeny is discovered using molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices.
Where did Frederick Sanger do his research on DNA sequencing?
Frederick Sanger conducted his research on DNA sequencing at the University of Cambridge in England. He worked at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, where he developed the groundbreaking techniques that led to the sequencing of the first complete genome.
When the timing of events in a paragraph is important it is best to use repeat sequencing or logical sequencing or shifted sequencing or redundant sequencing?
Repeat
Which system used to classify organisms has changed over time?
The system used to classify organisms that has changed over time is the taxonomic classification system. This system groups organisms based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships. As scientific knowledge has advanced and new evidence has been discovered, the classification of certain organisms has been revised to better reflect their genetic, anatomical, and ecological relationships.
What does phylogeny in algae means?
Phylogeny is the study of evolutionary relation among groups of organisms (e.g. species, populations), which is discovered through molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices.
What is sequencing in a movie?
'Sequencing' is the next book in the series or sequel.
Describe what is meant by the term rapid sequencing?
Sequencing DNA rapidly
What is rock sequencing?
Rock sequencing is a set of rocks that are contained in layers.
What is deep sequencing?
Deep sequencing is a type of procedure that is done in physics. It describes the number of single base readings taken during sequencing.
What is the other name of third generation sequencing?
next-next generation sequencing
Dideoxyribonucleotide chain-termination is a method of?
Sequencing DNA (Sanger Sequencing Method).
What is the major difference between the strategies of map-based sequencing and shotgun sequencing?
In shotgun sequencing, DNA fragments are sequenced before their correct order is known.
