…that sequenced large genomes involved hierarchical shotgun sequencing, in which segments of genomic DNA were cloned (copied) and arranged into ordered arrays. Those ordered arrays were known as physical maps, and they served to break large genomes into thousands of short DNA fragments. Those short fragments were then aligned, such…
