RNA harder DNA variants like PNA
Polyacrylamide Gels can resolve small DNAs differing in length by one nucleotide
Dideoxy sequencing converts sequence Information (A, C, G, T) into size differences e.g. if a DNA has T residues at positions 2, 5, 13, 16… this can be converted into a set of DNAs of length n+ 2, 5, 13, 16.. (which can be measured by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)

What do you need to sequence DNA? Where do the reagents come from? Must the DNA be pure? How much is needed How much good sequence can you obtain?
