What is whole plasmid sequencing?

Posted October 2, 2024


Answer

Whole plasmid sequencing is a technique used to read the entire DNA sequence of a plasmid. It relies on long-read sequencing technology, specifically nanopore technology, which allows millions of DNA fragments to be sequenced simultaneously. This makes it possible to sequence and analyze the entire plasmid efficiently and in a shorter time compared to traditional methods.
