| Abstract | The BAC-end sequencing, or sequence-tagged-connector (STC), approach to genome sequencing involves sequencing the ends of BAC inserts to scatter sequence tags (STCs) randomly across the genome. Once any BAC or other large segment of DNA is sequenced to completion by conventional shotgun approaches, these STC tags can be used to identify a minimum tiling path of BAC clones overlapping the nucleation sequence for sequence extension. Here, we explore the properties of STC-sequencing strategies within a mathematical model of a random target with homologous repeats and imperfect sequencing technology to understand the consequences of varying various parameters on the incidence of problem clones and the cost of the sequencing project. Problem clones are defined as clones for which either (A) there is no identifiable overlapping STC to extend the sequence in a particular direction or (B) the identified STC with minimum overlap comes from a nonoverlapping clone, either owing to random false matches or repeat-family homology. Based on the minimum overlap, we estimate the number of clones to be entirely sequenced and, then, using cost estimates, identify the decision rule (the degree of sequence similarity required before a match is declared between an STC and a clone) to minimize overall sequencing cost. A method to optimize the overlap decision rule is highly desirable, because both the total cost and the number of problem clones are shown to be highly sensitive to this choice. For a target of 3 Gb containing approximately 800 Mb of repeats with 85%-90% identity, we expect <10 problem clones with 15 times coverage by 150-kb clones. We derive the optimal redundancy and insert sizes of clone libraries for sequencing genomes of various sizes, from microbial to human. We estimate that establishing the resource of STCs as a means of identifying minimally overlapping clones represents only 1%-3% of the total cost of sequencing the human genome, and, up to a point of diminishing returns, a larger STC resource is associated with a smaller total sequencing cost. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
