Gene sequencing
D.
Gene sequencing
Gene sequencing is the process of determination of order of bases in a gene on DNA strand.
Gene splicing is the cutting of introns from DNA segments and addition of exons with each other.
Gene mapping is relative determination of position of genes on chromosome.
Gene probing is searching of a particular gene from a group or cluster of gene.
