This video explores the basics of Sanger sequencing and the fascinating history behind this groundbreaking technology. It explains the basics of DNA sequencing, including the components necessary for the reaction and the steps involved. Topics also include ddNTPs, cycle sequencing, fluorescent dyes and capillary electrophoresis.

We'll also compare Sanger sequencing to other sequencing technologies, such as NGS, to give you a better understanding of how it all works. Throughout the video, we'll take a chronological approach to explore the history of Sanger sequencing, starting with its development in the late 1970s and following its evolution. By the end of the video, you'll deeply understand Sanger sequencing and its role in sequencing the human genome.

So grab a cup of coffee and journey through the fascinating world of Sanger sequencing! Whether you're a student, researcher, or just curious about the science behind DNA sequencing, this video is for you!
