	DNA analysis
		First, the basis for virtually all DNA sequencing was the dideoxy-chain terminating reaction, developed by Sanger and for which he received his second Nobel prize.
		DNA polymerase and deoxynucleotides are added to the mixture, and the enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of the complementary DNA strand, starting at the primer and extending in the 3' direction.
		When the sequencing reaction proceeds in the presence of a small amount of the dideoxynucleotide, the resulting chain-extension reaction products will consist of a set of molecules, all starting at the primer, all extending in the 3' direction, but terminating wherever the dideoxynucleotide happened to be incorporated, opposite its complementary nucleotide in the template.

		Polyacrylamide gels are used to analyse DNA fragments by separating such fragments according to their length.
		The DNA fragments are prepared to terminate at one of four base types (A, G, C, T) A-type fragments of varying length are loaded in the "A" loading well at the top of the gel, and so forth for the G-, C-, and T- type fragments.
		The DNA sequence is determined by noting the particular lane in which each succeeding band is spatially located in the vertical dimension.

	How the DNA sequencer works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The DNA sequencer at New Mexico Tech is funded by the National Science Foundation
		In the past, DNA sequencing was done through a tedious method called polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).
		The first step in PCR is to “unzip” the double-stranded DNA, allowing the DNA polymerase to use the separate strands as a template. In order for the DNA polymerase to copy DNA, two components are required: a supply of the four nucleotides (A, G, C and T) and a primer.

	The Impact of Emerging Technologies: Under Biology's Hood - Technology Review
		Leading the team that developed the sequencer shortly before the genome project was initiated in the mid-1980s is just one of the achievements that has helped turn Montana native Leroy Hood into a biotech superstar.
		A great example is the protein sequencer [a device that determines the identity and order of the amino-acid building blocks that make up a particular protein].
		For example, we sequenced a hormone called erythropoietin with Amgen, and that sequence was key to their cloning the gene which led directly to the development of the first billion-dollar drug of the biotech industry.

	More Information Comes to Light in Dispute over DNA Sequencer
		The invention of the automatic DNA sequencer is largely what enabled the human genome project to be what it is today—a multi-million dollar effort, engaging thousands of researchers worldwide, and leading arguably to the most massive collection of information the world of science has ever seen.
		Now 20 years and some billions of DNA sequences later, the federal government is trying to take credit for supporting the invention and thereby recoup millions of dollars of federal money spent to purchase instruments for the Human Genome Project and other federally funded sequencing projects.
		At issue is the $300,000 price tag on the DNA sequencers that came into being as a direct result of the pioneering work at Caltech (for background, see related article).

	The Genome Sequencer 20™ DNA Sequencing System and Reagents - 454 Life Sciences™
		The Genome Sequencer 20™ System, developed by 454 Life Sciences, is an ultra-high-throughput automated DNA sequencing system capable of resolving hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences in one run.
		The basic chemistry utilizes the release of pyrophosphate (PPi) that occurs with each nucleotide addition during DNA-directed DNA synthesis to generate an amount of light commensurate with the amount of PPi released; this light is captured by a CCD camera and converted into a digital signal.
		The system includes the Genome Sequencer 20 Instrument and accessories; software to generate basecalls and Phred-base quality scores for raw reads ; software to assemble the overlapping reads de novo into a consensus genome; software to map the reads to a known genome, and consumable kits required for library construction, clonal amplification, and sequencing.

		The basic idea is that a myosin 'engine' pulls a strand of DNA along a actin-lined channel and sensors in that channel would read each nucleotide as it passes by.
		The DNA is single stranded and has been cut with a particular restriction enzyme and a matching piece of DNA is bonded to the actin engine.
		And each strand of DNA could be read multiple times, until a desired degree of accuracy is reached.
