How is Everyone’s Euglena Analyzed? – Part 4: Comparing the Read DNA

2020.12.01|#MinMido

How are the euglena samples, collected and sent by people from various places, analyzed in the laboratory of the Microalgal Production Control Technology Research Team? The procedure is divided into four main steps: Cultivating the samples sent to us, Isolating them using a cell sorter, Reading the DNA sequence of each cultivated euglena candidate, and Comparing the read DNA sequences. In this article, we will introduce the comparison of the read DNA sequences. Expressing Feature Comparisons with a Phylogenetic Tree Figure 1: Clip features and phy

In this article, we will introduce the reading of the DNA sequence of each euglena candidate. How Do We Determine Something is “Euglena”? We humans classify various organisms by naming them. Euglena, especially Eugl
