Yes you can, this is how most genomes are sequenced these days. You break the DNA up into a lot of smaller segments that are sequenced in parallel, you then combine them into the larger unified sequence. https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Shotgun-Sequencing https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Shotgun-Sequencing You cannot unfortunately do this for dinosaur DNA. The longest human chromosome has 250M basepairs. With a half life of ~500 years it only takes about 14K years for the chromosome to break down into individual nucleotides. 2^(14000/500) is roughly 170M
