The technique they use is called shotgun sequencing, which was used by Celera in sequencing the human genome.

Baker et al. detected them in a later study using shotgun sequencing of the community.

This map provides sequences of known distances apart, which can be used to help with the assembly of sequence reads acquired through shotgun sequencing.

A high coverage in shotgun sequencing is desired because it can overcome errors in base calling and assembly.

For these reasons, other strategies that lowered the computational load of sequence assembly had to be utilized before shotgun sequencing was performed.

Venter believed that shotgun sequencing was the fastest and most effective way to get useful human genome data.

But because late shotgun sequencing has turned up evidence for more large viruses like the Mimivirus and how they relate, maybe descend, from diverse cell types.

They are used in shotgun sequencing, specifically to aid sequence assembly.

All of these samples are sequenced using shotgun sequencing, in hopes that new genomes (and therefore new organisms) would be identified.

This application is called pairwise end sequencing, known colloquially as double-barrel shotgun sequencing.
