DNA Template
Segment of interest for determination
DNA Primer
A short, single-stranded oligonucleotide that binds to the template strand to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis
DNA Polymerase
An enzyme (such as Sequenase or Taq polymerase) that synthesizes the new DNA strand by adding nucleotides complementary to the template
Deoxynucleoside Triphosphates (dNTPs)
Normal, unlabelled nucleotides (dATP, dTTP, dCTP, dGTP) that serve as the building blocks for extending the growing DNA chain
Dideoxynucleoside Triphosphates (ddNTPs)
Modified versions of the normal nucleotides (ddATP, ddTTP, ddCTP, ddGTP) that lack a 3'-hydroxyl (\(-OH\)) group. This missing group prevents the next nucleotide from attaching, causing chain elongation to stop
