Pyrosequencing Bacillus anthracis
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 Pyrosequencing technology is a sequencing method that screens DNA nucleotide incorporation in real time. A set of coupled enzymatic reactions, together with bioluminescence, detects incorporated nucleotides in the form of light pulses, which produces a ...
