Gene Sequencing Laboratory

News:  Rajasthan gets its new genome sequencing laboratory.


About the news:

  • The laboratory has been set up at Sawai Man Singh government medical  college.

  • Significance: this allows the Rajajstan to become the first state to have complete genome sequencing facility at state level.

  • It will allow the government to sequence the COVID- 19 genome.

  • At present it can profile 10 samples per day, as per the guidelines of ICMR.


What is genome sequencing?

Genome sequencing refers to finding out/ decoding the sequence of nucleotides base pairs in the genetic material of an organism.

These nucleotide base pairs includes:

  • Adenine: found in DNA and RNA both

  • Guanine: found in DNA and RNA both

  • Cytosine: found in DNA and RNA both

  • Thymine: found in DNA only

  • Uracil: found in RNA only
