DNA sequencer
A
DNA sequencer
is a
scientific instrument
used to automate the
DNA sequencing
process. Given a sample of
DNA
, a DNA sequencer is used to determine the order of the four bases: G (
guanine
), C (
cytosine
), A (
adenine
) and T (
thymine
). This is then reported as a text
string
, called a read. Some DNA sequencers can be also considered
optical instruments
as they analyze light signals originating from
fluorochromes
attached to
nucleotides
.
