- | Works very similarly to pyrosequencing, except rather than requiring light from luciferase enzymes it takes advantage of the proton that is released when a nucleotide is added to a template. It measures this electric current. The presense of a current over a certain template when a specific nucleotide is added to solution tells you that that nucleotide was added to that template. The level of current at a template tells you the number of nucleotides that were added in that run. | + | Works very similarly to pyrosequencing, except rather than requiring light from luciferase enzymes it takes advantage of the proton that is released when a nucleotide is added to a template.
