SAMPLE AND PRIMER PREPARATION - (sample & primer should be suspended in Water); we require 5μl of sample and 5μl primer per reaction
**Editing is the correction of miscalled bases. These problems generally occur at the beginning and end of the sequence, but can occur anywhere.
Note – you require the ABI file and the correct computer software to do your own editing.
Sample Concentration – because sequencing is unidirectional the number of copies of your template in the sample becomes very important, thus we require minimum
concentration of DNA to perform the reaction. Too much DNA can result in a short read, or a smear, or no-signal. The sample concentrations listed below take into
account the TOTAL amount of DNA in the sample (i.e. plasmid + insert) and are concentrations calculated to encourage success.
