  • The researchers conducted DNA resequencing to identify genetic mutations in the samples.
  • genome resequencing

Examples

  • We've enhanced his telepathic ability through genome resequencing.

    Replicant (2001)

  • The size of the sequence reads makes these approaches ideal for whole genome resequencing, allowing a novel genome sequence to be compared and assembled with the help of a reference sequence (Bentley 2006).

    Academic text (2008)

  • After all simulations were finished, we estimated the abundance of ROH in each population (in nonoverlapping windows) as described above for the analyses of the empirical flycatcher resequencing data.

    Academic text (2016)

  • Advancements in technology have greatly improved the efficiency of DNA resequencing methods.

  • Each laboratory is required to adhere to strict protocols when performing DNA resequencing to ensure accuracy.

Morphology

resequencing = resequence (semi-transparent) = re + sequence + ing

The noun is a regular event nominalization of the verb 'resequence'.

Etymology

Resequencing comes from the parts re- 'again' and sequence 'order', like in the word sequel, but used for DNA. In genetics resequencing means reading the order of DNA 'again' to compare with a known DNA pattern and find any changes.
