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 (10[1])connected to electrodes in a type of this technique developed by Oxford Nanopore. Bridge amplification is performed (-5[1])after adapters are ligated onto the ends of samples (10[1])in this technique’s library preparation step so they can adhere to a flow cell. (10[1])Coverage and depth are considered (10[1])when designing experiments with this technique, which has platforms designed by Illumina (10[1])for its “next-generation” form. Target (10[1])molecules incorporate fluorescent ddNTPs as “chain-terminators” in a type of this technique developed by Sanger. For 10 points, name this technique (10[1])that determines the order of nucleotides (10[1])in DNA. ■END■

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]
