DNA Of Uncultured Organisms Sequenced Using Novel Single-cell Approach

Monday, April 27, 2009 - 17:35 in Biology & Nature

Scientists from the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute and the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have assembled high quality, contamination-free draft genomes of uncultured biodegrading microorganisms using a novel single cell genome sequencing approach. The research offers researchers a new method to access and decipher the information embedded in genomes of interest with only minute quantities of DNA.
