What is "DNA Sequencing" ?
Some parts of this site are currently incomplete & will be updated asap
Other parts will change continually so use “Refresh” in your browser !!
There is extensive use of “Tooltips” text to support learning which do not seem to render on a Smartphone, so this site is best viewed via a computer’s HD monitor
Learning -> Resources Available, All Work is Subject to DHRF's "GD"
“Whole genome sequencing (WGS), also known as full genome sequencing, complete genome sequencing, or entire genome sequencing, is the process of determining the entirety, or nearly the entirety, of the DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time. This entails sequencing all of an organism’s chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast […] Whole genome sequencing has largely been used as a research tool, but was being introduced to clinics in 2014” Source: Wikipedia

Image#2 (Husband 2023) This is an equivalent “sample” unstructured binary symbol stream which gives no clue as to which domain it exists in… Time domain ? Memory domain ? (as no extra indexes) or any clue about its granularity…
(1) The Start of the Binary Symbol Stream
This symbol stream is one long stream until point(2). For display convenience purposes, it “wraps around” 2 at the end of the line on the right hand side, and then continues on the next new line on the left hand side
(2) The End of the Binary Symbol Stream

What this approach is equivalent to…
… is taking the most powerful, most complex supercomputer on earth and doing a “binary dump” of its internal software as one long Symbol stream (as in Image#2 above) - (without any idea of its Granularity,or any “indexing” or its Tokens and Meta-Tokens) from just that and attempting to work out what is going on… This is not a good way of proceeding !! 5

In view of DHRF’s commitment to support learning, there is a much higher “learning content” in the Research Work Streams than would otherwise be the case… Please be aware of that ↩

But the only way of proceeding for very clever Molecular Biologists who are very focussed upon Implementation Detail (at the molecular level) whereas DHRF/DH is focussing upon “functionality”… See Ignore Implementation Details and Distil Functionality from Implementation Detail ↩
