Dideoxy sequencing
Dideoxy sequencing,also known as the chain terminating method or sanger sequencing , is a DNA aequencing method created by Biochemist Fred Sanger and is used in determining the sequence of neuclotides in DNA[1].The basis of this method is down to the incorperation of the meolecule 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside triphosphate(ddNTP).This molecule lacks a hydroxyl group so DNA polymerase can no longer form a phosphodiester bond[2].This stops DNA replication.
