DNA Analysis Arrays
index previous question next question
Can I analyze only one strand? Your array holds 60 kb but you tile 30 kb doublestranded - can I just tile one strand and sequence a full 60 kb?
No, we sequence both forward and reverse strands in order to maximize accuracy and reproducibility. This is common practice in all sequencing experiments, and is often overlooked as a cost in capillary sequencing.
