Dideoxy Chain Termination DNA SequencingNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Dideoxy Chain Termination DNA Sequencing;
NCIt synonyms : Sanger Sequencing;
NCIt definition : A DNA sequencing technique in which a mixture of deoxynucleosidetriphosphates (dNTPs)
and chain-terminating dNTPs, which are radioactively or fluorescently labeled, are
combined within the reaction mixture. Once the reaction is complete, the DNA strands
are separated by size, and the labeled chain terminating dNTPs can be read in sequence
by the investigator or by a machine.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A DNA sequencing technique in which a mixture of deoxynucleosidetriphosphates
(dNTPs) and chain-terminating dNTPs (which are radioactively or fluorescently labeled)
are combined within the reaction mixture. Once the polymerase chain reaction is complete
the DNA strands are separated by size and the labeled chain terminating dNTPs can
be read in sequence by the investigator or a machine.;
