Summary Introduction

To contrast: The early DNA sequencing methods with those used today.

Concept introduction: DNA sequencing is used to determine the exact arrangement of the nucleotide bases [adenine (A), cytosine (C), thymine (T), and guanine (G)] in a DNA sequence. They have a wide variety of applications in the field of medicine, forensics, and agriculture. They are used to identify the genes that can lead to cause many genetic diseases.
