21.1 New approaches have accelerated the pace of genome sequencing

Officially begun as the Human Genome Project人類基因體計畫in 1990, the sequencing of the human genome was largely completed by 2003

The genome was completed using sequencing machines and the dideoxy chain termination method双去氧鏈终止法
 * 雙去氧鏈終止法
 * 次世代定序
 * 螢光定序

The genome was completed using sequencing machines and the dideoxy chain termination method双去氧鏈终止法

Amajor thrust of the project was development of technology for faster sequencing
 * The initial approach built on an earlier storehouse of human genetic information
 * Then J. Craig Venterset up a company to sequence the entire genome using an alternative whole-genome shotgun approach全基因組散彈定序


 * This used cloning and sequencing of fragments of randomly cut DNA followed by assembly into a single continuous sequence
