Automated DNA Sequencing Currently, laboratories use automated

DNA sequencing to determine the unknown sequence of bases in a DNA sample

Automated DNA Sequencing When a modified base is incorporated,

DNA synthesis is haltedThis produces tagged fragments of different

lengths

Gel Electrophoresis The automated DNA sequencer

separates the sets of fragments by gel electrophoresis

Gel Electrophoresis The “tag” base at the end of each

fragment in the set is identified by the laser beam

The computer program in the machine assembles the information from all the nucleotides in the sample to reveal the entire DNA sequence
