Automated DNA Sequencers
Strategic Directions International Inc., Los Angeles, California, USA.
The Column
Automating the DNA sequence process is made possible by the use of fluorescent tags. With fluorescent dyes, the entire experiment can be performed in a single solution instead of four different ones. Using Sanger-based methods, the DNA fragments migrate through the gel and the colour associated with each successive peak is detected using a laser. The DNA sequence is read by determining the sequence of colours in the peaks as they pass the detector and then fed directly to a computer for instant results.
