Pyrosequencing: sequence typing at the speed of light

Matthew A Diggle et al. Mol Biotechnol. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Nucleotide sequencing is an established method for gaining information relating to partial gene, whole gene, or whole genome sequence. Here we describe some of the background leading to the advent of modern nucleotide sequencing and how it has led to the development of Pyrosequencing, a relatively new method for real-time nucleotide sequencing. In particular, we describe how this method can be used for typing bacterial pathogens.
