Tossup

One form of this technique uses tagmentation to fragment samples and add adapters simultaneously for library preparation. Solexa pioneered a form of this technique in which a sample in a flow cell is subjected to bridge amplification. Samples are treated with bisulfite in one form of this technique to determine methylation patterns. Another form of this technique uses capillary (10[1])electrophoresis to migrate samples through a fluorescence detector to generate a chromatogram. That form of this technique relies on chain termination (-5[1])by randomly incorporated ddNTPs and is named for Sanger. For 10 points, name this technique used to determine the order of nucleotides in DNA. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: DNA sequencing [accept genome sequencing; accept Sanger sequencing; accept bisulfite sequencing; accept next-generation sequencing or NGS or massive parallel sequencing or massively parallel sequencing or second-generation sequencing; accept DNA sequencing library or DNA sequencing libraries; accept ATAC-seq or Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing; accept Illumina dye sequencing; accept Solexa sequencing; reject “mapping” or “genome mapping”; reject “RNA sequencing” or “peptide sequencing”]
