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[1])Bridge amplification (10[1])is performed after adapters are ligated onto the ends of samples in this technique’s library preparation step so they can adhere to a flow cell. Coverage and depth are considered when designing experiments with this technique, which has platforms designed by Illumina for its “next-generation” (-5[1])form. Target molecules incorporate (10[1])fluorescent (10[2])ddNTPs as “chain-terminators” in a type of this technique developed by Sanger. For 10 points, name this technique that determines the order of nucleotides in DNA. ■END■ (10[2]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]
