- | Involves synthesizing complementary strand of DNA to the template DNA strand to be sequenced. Four enzymes are used in this method - DNA polymerase, ATP sulfyrylase, Luciferase, and Apyrase. The light generated is captured as a signal which detects the base incorporated. Currently the read length is approximately 400 nucleotides. Incorporation of homopolymer A is problematic.\\ | + | Involves synthesizing complementary strand of DNA to the template DNA strand to be sequenced.
