454 sequencing
454 Sequencing, is a type of massively parallel DNA sequencing. 454 sequencing uses a large-scale system known as PYROSEQUENCING and able to sequence much longer reads than Illumina sequencing. 454 Sequencing was created by biotech company 454 in 2005 and was released as a faster, cheaper alternative to other DNA sequencing methods available at the time, such as the Sanger “dideoxy” method[1]
