Second-generation sequencing differs from Sanger sequencing because

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Second-generation sequencing can sequence millions of pieces of DNA at the same time on a single glass slide, which is not possible with Sanger sequencing. The other options are incorrect as Sanger sequencing does use chain-terminator nucleoside triphosphates, and DNA polymerase is required for both Sanger and second-generation sequencing. Additionally, second-generation sequencing is generally less expensive per base sequenced compared to Sanger sequencing.
