DNA Sequencing in Undergraduate Laboratory Courses: Duplicating Current Research Protocols Using Biochemical Methods of Analysis

Journal of College Science Teaching—March/April 1997

The basic goal in designing the molecular biology lab was to provide students with exercises that were as representative as possible of current research protocols. This goal was easy for some exercises but the DNA sequencing can be expensive and difficult for undergraduate students. For this activity, the Silver Sequence® kit is used in the sophomore genetics lab.
