The double-stranded DNA sequence of this molecules to be determined.

The polarity of each strand is to be labeled.

Introduction:

DNA sequencing is the determination of a sequence of nucleotide bases (A, T, G, C) in a DNA.

Sanger sequencing is a method of sequencing a region of DNA that is up to 900 base pairs in length. This process is also known as Chain termination method.

Sanger sequencing was first developed by Fred Sanger and his colleagues in 1977.

This process involved the formation of many copies of the template DNA strand.

Dideoxynucleotides inhibit the chain elongation process of DNA polymerases. They are also abbreviated as 2', 3' Dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs)- (ddATP, ddTTP, ddGTP, ddCTP).

The principle of Sanger sequencing is that sufficient time and material can produce at least one DNA sequence of every possible length with a tagged nucleotide at the end.

The tagged nucleotides get terminated because ddNTPs lack 3' OH group that generally extends the chain.
