Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pyrosequencing is a DNA sequencing technology based on the sequencing-by-synthesis principle. METHODS: The technique is built on a 4-enzyme real-time monitoring of DNA synthesis by bioluminescence using a cascade that upon nucleotide incorporation ends in a detectable light signal (bioluminescence). The detection system is based on the pyrophosphate released when a nucleotide is introduced in the...
