Question

This technique’s results are generally considered acceptable quality if rated twenty or higher on the Phred quality score. Characteristic squiggles are produced by samples passing through alpha-hemolysin connected to electrodes in a type of this technique developed by Oxford Nanopore. (10[3])Bridge amplification is performed after adapters are ligated onto the ends of samples in this technique’s library preparation step (10[1])so they can adhere to a flow cell. Coverage and depth are considered (10[1]-5[1])when designing experiments with (-5[1])this technique, which has platforms designed by Illumina for its (10[1]-5[1])“next-generation” form. Target molecules incorporate fluorescent (10[1])ddNTPs as “chain-terminators” (10[2])in a type of (10[1])this technique developed by Sanger. For 10 points, (10[1])name this (10[1])technique that determines the order of nucleotides in DNA. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])

ANSWER: DNA sequencing [or RNA sequencing or DNA-seq or RNA-seq; accept Sanger sequencing or whole genome sequencing or next-generation sequencing or long-read sequencing or Oxford Nanopore sequencing or Illumina sequencing]
