Dr. DNA Dan - A Genetics & Genomics Podcast
8. Shotgun Sequencing and the Human Genome Project
Show Notes

Over the 1960s through 1980s, more was learned about the structure of chromosomes and the functions of some genes. However, we did not have a comprehensive map of the entire human genome. Learn how molecular biology techniques become more sophisticated, and scientists could start determining the nucleotide sequence of small portions of chromosomes.
