Sanger Sequencing – Principle, Steps, Advantages, Uses
What is Sanger Sequencing? Principle of Sanger Sequencing The principle of Sanger sequencing is rooted in the termination of DNA strand elongation by dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddNTPs). These ddNTPs are modified versions of normal DNA nucleotides that lack a 3’ hydroxyl group, which is essential for forming a phosphodiester bond. Without this bond, the DNA strand … Read more
