Today Sanger sequencing is fully automated. My lab uses a DNA sequencing company that handles samples robotically, runs and interprets the sequencing reactions by machine, and posts the results ...

while Sanger sequencing still had its uses, the action had already moved elsewhere. The Broad had recently eliminated a number of its Sanger machines, and the remainder weren't even active on the ...

The Human Genome project set out to sequence all of the 3 billion nucleotides in the human genome. Exactly how was this daunting task done with such incredible speed and accuracy? In 1986, a ...

The primary practical difference between Sanger sequencing and next generation sequencing is the yield of sequence data. Illumina’s sequencing machine can produce up to 20 mega bases (Mb ...

sidesteps a bottleneck in conventional gene sequencing. In machines employing that scheme, known as the Sanger method, only 96 stretches of DNA can be sequenced at any one time. Jonathan M.
