6. 2. polymerase chain reaction (PCR) iterative process, consists of 3 steps: denaturation of the template DNA by heat

7. 2. polymerase chain reaction (PCR) iterative process, consists of 3 steps: denaturation of the template DNA by heat annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single-stranded target sequence

8. 2. polymerase chain reaction (PCR) iterative process, consists of 3 steps: denaturation of the template DNA by heat annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single-stranded target sequence extension of the annealed primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase

9. 2. polymerase chain reaction (PCR) iterative process, consists of 3 steps: denaturation of the template DNA by heat annealing of the oligonucleotide primers to the single-stranded target sequence extension of the annealed primers by a thermostable DNA polymerase repeat for 30-40 cycles; each cycle doubles the amount of DNA synthesized in the previous cycle - after 30th cycle: 230 x

10. 3. (thermal) cycle sequencing (linear amplification DNA sequencing) contains sequencing reaction mixture of buffer, template, DNA polymerase, primer, dNTP, ddNTP consists, like a standard PCR, of cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension BUT: uses only one primer to linearly amplify the extension products

19. hierarchical sequencing vs. shotgun sequencing + filling gaps, resequencing uncertain regions is easier + distribute clones to different labs - constructing the physical map is expensive and time-consuming + physical map construction is not necessary + cost effective and fast + good for small genomes - filling gaps and keeping track of sequenced plasmids is more difficult - computationally more expensive
