The document discusses DNA sequencing, detailing methods like Sanger sequencing and the chain termination technique, which involves using dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) to synthesize DNA fragments of varying lengths. It highlights significant milestones in genome sequencing, including the successful sequencing of the human genome in 2001, and describes the process of using gel electrophoresis to separate DNA strands. Additionally, it mentions the use of fluorescent dyes for more efficient sequencing in modern applications.
