PCR vs. DNA Sequencing

PCR



Similarities
-Sanger's method is similar to PCR
-only requires a small part of DNA (though larger parts will still work)

Differences
-PCR is to amplify a segment of DNA, while DNA Sequencing is to map the DNA sequence
-DNA Sequencing uses dideoxyribose nucleotides
-to interpret the sequence, you must run it through gel electrophoresis
