I think it's amusing when scientific lingo finds its way into popular speech, because it is often distorted in interesting ways. When political commentators talk about a "litmus test" they're not ...

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

The first DNA sequencing was performed by Sanger and co-workers in the 1970s, using a method based on the attenuation of the growing nucleotide chain with dideoxythymidine triphosphate (ddTTP). The ...

In 1997, Sanger, Nicklen and Coulson described a method for determining DNA nucleotide sequences. 1 Nearly five decades later, Sanger sequencing remains an entrenched technology for targeted ...
