New High Throughput Technologies for DNA Sequencing and GenomicsAuthor(s): Keith R. Mitchelson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444522238, 978-0444522238\nSynopsis\nSince the independent invention of DNA sequencing by Sanger and by Gilbert 30 years ago, it has grown from a small scale technique capable of reading several kilobase-pair of sequence per day into today's multibillion dollar industry. This growth has spurred the development of new sequencing technologies that do not involve either electrophoresis or Sanger sequencing chemistries. Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) involves multiple parallel micro-sequencing addition events occurring on a surface, where data from each round is detected by imaging. New High Throughput Technologies for DNA Sequencing and Genomics is the second volume in the Perspectives in Bioanalysis series, which looks at the electroanalytical chemistry of nucleic acid.
