Which of the following is not true of a comparison between Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing?
A) The cost per base is higher in Sanger sequencing than in pyrosequencing.
B) The length of each sequence read is lower in Sanger sequencing than in pyrosequencing.
C) Sanger sequencing is an older technology than pyrosequencing.
D) The number of parallel reactions is orders of magnitude lower in Sanger sequencing than in pyrosequencing.
E) The total output of a sequencing run (bp)is orders of magnitude lower in Sanger sequencing than in pyrosequencing.

Question
