Next Generation Sequencing And Sequence Assembly

Download or read book Next Generation Sequencing and Sequence Assembly written by Ali Masoudi-Nejad and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to introduce the biological and technical aspects of next generation sequencing methods, as well as algorithms to assemble these sequences into whole genomes. The book is organized into two parts; part 1 introduces NGS methods and part 2 reviews assembly algorithms and gives a good insight to these methods for readers new to the field. Gathering information, about sequencing and assembly methods together, helps both biologists and computer scientists to get a clear idea about the field. Chapters will include information about new sequencing technologies such as ChIp-seq, ChIp-chip, and De Novo sequence assembly. ​
