Different methods of gene sequencing This blog will cover the different types of sequencing methods that you can use to learn about your genes and how they are used in gene expression studies. I will also show you ways to do this with your cells! Before we get into each method, let’s understand what exactly a gene is. A gene is any site on the bacterial chromosome that is involved in the growth of bacteria. Each gene has only one site on it and is also called a locus. A locus determines where the DNA sequence begins and ends. Now let’s look at what we mean by “sequence”. When a person reads their paper or book, they read all the words on it and not just the ones on your paper! We have to read our entire textbook before the chapter on biology (e.g., The Biology course or AP Biology course) or watch the videos for lessons 1-5 and then move on to study the video materials you watched. To be sure we need to figure out what each word means so as not to miss anything important. Also, we need...
