Adaptor molecules replace primers in sample preparation for next-generation sequencing
In conventional Sanger sequencing, there is a need for a sequencing primer for the DNA polymerase to latch on, and continue the polymerisation cum sequencing of the DNA molecule. But such sequencing primer is mysteriously absent in many next-generation DNA sequencing applications. Why is that so? This comes about because the adaptor molecules that bind … More Adaptor molecules replace primers in sample preparation for next-generation sequencing
