		Both of these two "longest one-syllable word" claims are questionable, subject to variations in pronunciation.
		Additionally, neither the -ed preterite past tense ending for verbs, nor the -s plural ending for nouns increases the syllable count for words, so it is unsurprising that the longest words would use these endings.
		Note, however, that in early Modern English, the -ed ending was frequently pronounced with a schwa or /I/ or /E/, resulting in another syllable.

	Definition of List of the longest English words with one syllable
		The longest English word of one syllable (in some dialects) is the eleven-letter squirrelled, as in "I've squirrelled away my nuts for the winter." According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the ten-letter scraunched, appearing in a 1620 translation of Cervantes' Don Quixote, is also a very long word for being only a single syllable.
		The eleven-letter word broughammed, while readily pronounceable as one syllable in all dialects, is questionable on other grounds.
		Aside from the -ed pronunciation issue, scraunched's claim is further weakened by the fact that English spelling was largely unstandardized throughout the early Modern English period until the advent of modern dictionaries.

		In other words, DNA is the chemical memory of living organisms.
		In practice, to identify the nucleotides at the end of each fragment, the DNA to be sequenced is copied using a chemical substance which provokes random but systematic cuts at the end of only one of the 4 nucleotides, A, T, G or C. Thus 4 series of fragments are prepared in parallel.
		In other words, the sequencing of a large fragment of DNA requires cutting it into small segments (see molecular cloning) and then performing a sufficient number of reads, which, if arranged end to end, would cover the DNA fragment to be sequenced 10 times.
