GlossarySanger sequencing

determines DNA sequence by incorporating chain-terminating nucleotides during replication

Sanger sequencing, also known as chain termination sequencing, is a method used to determine the precise order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. It involves copying the DNA in a way that incorporates special molecules called dideoxynucleotides, which stop the copying process at specific points, allowing scientists to piece together the sequence by analyzing the resulting fragments. This technique has been fundamental in genetic research and diagnostics.
