title: Automated DNA sequencing.
abstract: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR), first published by Mullis and Faloona in 1987 (1), has become an invaluable molecular biology tool in both research and routine applications. The combination of PCR with the chain-termination sequencing technique developed by Sanger et al. in 1977 (2) and the automation of both these techniques, has enabled DNA sequencing to also become widely used in a variety of research areas.
