Genome assembled

A genome is the complete set of genetic material in an organism, containing all its genes and DNA sequences. Genome assembly is the process of taking many small pieces of DNA, generated through sequencing, and piecing them together to reconstruct the full genome. Imagine having thousands of jigsaw puzzle pieces; assembly involves figuring out how these pieces fit to reveal the complete picture of the organism's genetic code. This process helps scientists understand the organism's biology, traits, and can assist in medical or biological research.
