The public Human Genome Project: mapping the genome, sequencing, and reassembly. 3D animation.

This animation shows how the human genome was sequenced using the 'hierarchical shotgun' method of the public Human Genome Project. All the base pairs in our DNA are represented as letters on pieces of paper. (DNAi location: Genome > The Project > Putting it together > Animations > Hierarchical shotgun)
