La secuenciación del genoma es uno o varios procesos de laboratorio que determina la secuencia completa de ADN [ácido desoxirribonucleico] en el genoma de un organismo en un proceso único. Esto supone la secuenciación de todos los cromosomas de un organismo con ADN, así como el contenido en el de mitocondrias y, para las plantas, en cloroplastos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - secuenciaci%C3%B3n%20del%20genoma
