Genetic sequencing

Description

Genetic sequencing is used in laboratories to read the DNA of a human or any other organism. The result is a long sequence of the genetic letters A, C, G and T representing the whole genome of this person. This information can be used to determine specific genetic characteristics, for example if a person has a genetic variation that increases the risk for breast cancer.
