  Primer
A primer is a short artificial DNA strand that is used in genetic methods such as DNA sequencing, hybridization probes[?], and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
A sequencing method called dideoxy sequencing (also known as chain termination method or Sanger method uses a primer as a start marker for the chain reaction.
In Polymerase Chain Reaction, primers are used to determine the DNA fragment to be amplified by the PCR process.

The polymerase chain reaction is used to produce millions of cloned pieces of DNA.
The Chain termination or Sanger or Dideoxy method is a process used to sequence (read the bases) of DNA.
The dideoxy method is now highly automated as a result of development occurring under the Human Genome Project, where it is used to sequence fragments of our genome.

 MCDB 2150 -- Lecture 29
Please study the material on the Sanger dideoxynucleotide chain termination method carefully, including the description of the proceduremethod in Appendix A. The Maxam and Gilbert selective cleavage method is mostly of historical interest and does not need to be studied in comparable detail.
Chain termination: Chain termination is achieved in the Sanger method by incorporating a nucleotide analog at the end of the growing DNA strand that lacks a 3'-hydroxyl group for attachment of the next nucleotide.
The relative frequency of termination is determined by the ratio of dideoxy nucleotide triphosphates to normal dNTPs.

 Molecular Genetics
The methods used by molecular geneticists to obtain and study DNA have been developed through keen observation and adaptation of the chemical reactions and biological processes that occur naturally in all cells.
Both methods were equally popular to begin with, but, for many reasons, the chain termination method is the method more commonly used today.
In one method, called cycle sequencing, the dideoxynucleotides, not the primers, are tagged with different colored fluorescent dyes; thus, all four reactions occur in the same tube and are separated in the same lane on the gel.

 Title of Invention: Plant medium-chain-preferring a cyl-ACP thioesterases and related methods
The present invention is directed to a protein relevant to synthesis of medium chain fatty acids in plants and methods of use related to the protein and related nucleic acid sequences.
In this manner, the transcription and translation initiation regions, regulatory introns, and/or transcript termination regions of the plant thioesterase may be obtained for use in a variety of DNA constructs, with or without the thioesterase structural gene.
Transcript termination regions may be provided by the DNA sequence encoding the plant thioesterase or a convenient transcription termination region derived from a different gene source, especially the transcript termination region which is naturally associated with the transcript initiation region.

 The Scientist : Cycle Sequencing Kits
From the chemical method of Maxam and Gilbert and the dideoxy method of Sanger, DNA sequencing techniques evolved into the "labeling/termination" method that used a modified T7 DNA polymerase such as Sequenase.
When the polymerase incorporates a ddNTP into the growing primer chain, elongation stops, and the newly synthesized complementary chain is terminated at positions representing either A, C, G, or T base, depending on which ddNTP-base analog was incorporated.
Elongation terminates because of the absence of the 3'-hydroxyl group on the ddNTP, normally present on the dNTP and required for chain elongation.

 MCDB 2150 -- Lecture 18
Selective termination of DNA synthesis at specific nucleotides (A, C, G, or T), which permits the lengths of the resulting single-stranded DNA fragments to be used to identify nucleotide positions in the DNA sequence;
Synthesis of a new strand of DNA is initiated from the primer, and a chain termination process (incoproration of a 2'-,3'-dideoxynucleotide, which leaves no 3'-OH group for further chain growth) is used to stop synthesis selectively at any one of the four DNA nucleotides.
Thus, the first base added to the newly synthesized strand (corresponding to the shortest fragment on the sequencing gel) is complementary to the extreme 3'-position of the template strand, immediately adjacent to the site that the primer hybridizes to.

 Frederick Sanger Summary
The insulin molecule appeared to consist of a large number of polypeptide chains, and it was held that what was important biologically was the sequence in which the amino acids followed each other in the chains.
For the glycyl or A chain, which is more acidic and soluble, he used another new method, electrophoresis, in which the chain fragments move through a fluid at different speeds in response to an electrical current, depending on their characteristics and those of the fluid.
In 1975, he developed the chain termination method of DNA sequencing, also known as the Dideoxy termination method or the Sanger method.

 The Tech Behind the Magic
DNA is currently sequenced by one of two methods: the Maxam-Gilbert method (aka the chemical degradation method) and the Sanger method (aka chain-termination method, dideoxy sequencing).
In the Sanger method, DNA is replicated in the presence of an abnormal base that can only link to one other base, as well as the four normal bases.
The fragments (from either method) undergo gel electrophoresis to separate them by length, and computers are used to analyze and assemble the base sequence.

 Sanger method
This is a "chain termination" event, because there is a 3' H instead of a 3' OH group.
The chain terminations closest to the primer generate the smallest DNA molecules (which migrate further down the gel), and chain terminations further from the primer generate larger DNA molecules (which are slower on the gel and therefore remain nearer to the top).
When similar chain termination reactions are run for each nucleotide, the four reactions can be run next to each other, and the sequence of the DNA can be read off of the "ladder" of bands, 5' to 3' sequence being read from bottom to top:

The most popular method for doing this is called the dideoxy method or Sanger method (named after its inventor, Frederick Sanger, who was awarded the 1980 Nobel prize in chemistry [his second] for this achievment).
For this reason, the dideoxy method is also called the chain termination method.
Because all four normal nucleotides are present, chain elongation proceeds normally until, by chance, DNA polymerase inserts a dideoxy nucleotide (shown as colored letters) instead of the normal deoxynucleotide (shown as vertical lines).

For thirty years a huge fraction of DNA sequencing has been achieved using the chain termination method [1], developed by Frederick Sanger in 1975.
The polymerase chain reaction(PCR) technique is limited to 10,000 base-pairs and the maximum length of extension is dictated by the concentration of tagged/terminating nucleotides.
The DNA is then denatured and the resulting fragments are separated (with a resolution of just one nucleotide) by gel electrophoresis, from longest to shortest.
