The deoxynucleotide concentration should be approximately 100-fold higher than that of the corresponding dideoxynucleotide (e.g. To each reaction is added only one of the four dideoxynucleotides (ddATP, ddGTP, ddCTP, or ddTTP), while the other added nucleotides are ordinary ones. The DNA sample is divided into four separate sequencing reactions, containing all four of the standard deoxynucleotides (dATP, dGTP, dCTP and dTTP) and the DNA polymerase. The ddNTPs may be radioactively or fluorescently labelled for detection in automated sequencing machines. These chain-terminating nucleotides lack a 3'- OH group required for the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two nucleotides, causing DNA polymerase to cease extension of DNA when a modified ddNTP is incorporated.
The classical chain-termination method requires a single-stranded DNA template, a DNA primer, a DNA polymerase, normal deoxynucleotide triphosphates ( dNTPs), and modified di-deoxynucleotide triphosphates ( ddNTPs), the latter of which terminate DNA strand elongation. Sanger sequencing is still actively being used in efforts for public health initiatives such as sequencing the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 as well as for the surveillance of norovirus outbreaks through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) CaliciNet surveillance network. It still has the advantage over short-read sequencing technologies (like Illumina) in that it can produce DNA sequence reads of >500 nucleotides and maintains a very low error rate with accuracies around 99.99%. However, the Sanger method remains in wide use for smaller-scale projects and for validation of deep sequencing results. More recently, higher volume Sanger sequencing has been replaced by next generation sequencing methods, especially for large-scale, automated genome analyses. It was first commercialized by Applied Biosystems in 1986. After first being developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977, it became the most widely used sequencing method for approximately 40 years. Sanger sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing that involves electrophoresis and is based on the random incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication. Method of DNA sequencing developed in 1977
