What is resequenced?

Resequencing is a molecular biology technique that is used to generate a precise sequence of DNA from a genome of an organism. The process involves fragmenting the DNA and then sequencing each of the fragments using high-throughput sequencing technologies. The resulting sequences are then aligned to the reference genome to identify changes in the DNA sequence. This technique is commonly used in genetic research to identify mutations, genetic variations, and changes in gene expression. Resequencing can also be used in comparative genomics to identify genetic differences between different organisms or varieties of the same species. This technique has revolutionized the field of genomics by allowing researchers to analyze large amounts of DNA data quickly and accurately.
