Applications of DNA Sequencing

1. DNA sequencing information is important for planning the procedure and method of gene manipulation.

2. DNA sequencing is used for construction of restriction endonuclease map.

3. It is used to find tandem repeats or inverted repeat for the possibility of hairpin formations.

4. The sequences can be used to find whether any open reading frame (ORF) coding for a polypeptide exists.

5. DNA sequences can be used to find a polypeptide sequence from the data bank or to compare with DNA sequences from other animals for phylogenetic analysis.

6. They are used to construct the molecular evolution map.

7. They are useful in identifying exons and introns.
