Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing
Several copies of the genome are randomly cut into pieces that are about 150,000 base pairs (bp) long
Multiple copies of the genome are randomly shredded into pieces that are 2,000 base pairs (bp) long by squeezing the DNA through a pressurized syringe. This is done a second time to generate pieces that are 10,000 bp long
