Based on the state-of-the-art DNA sequencing method - Sanger sequencing - the major aim of future research is to develop a cost-effective and gel electrophoresis-free sequencing method. These new sequencing technologies - such as the so-called sequencing-by-synthesis method (SBS) - should be able to detect DNA mutations faster and more accurate than the currently available sequencing technique. The function of a reversible terminator used for SBS is as follows: 3 -modified, dye-labeled nucleotides are incorporated by the polymerase complementary to the DNA-template (as already known from...
