  • I have been trying to learn more about DNA sequencing methods and I haven't found what I'm looking for. The part about this video comes at about 1:45 when he says that you have to decide if your going to believe in something or not ...What does he mean by this?

  • @smoothpeople33

    He was saying that it is just a machine and it is churning out masses of information - pages and pages of data to miniscule detail - you have to decide as a scientist whether that info is relevant or not - "sometimes it is just garbage" - he said laughing.

    It is two years ago now so I can't remember much more but I think towards the end of the sequencing the reliability beomes less and less.

  • Thanx u, for all those explanations!

  • It is cool that people can now use computer programs to retrospectively check out previous genomic data for sequencing errors.
