Pyrosequencing is a method of DNA sequencing that differs from Sanger sequencing, in that it relies on the detection of pyrophosphate release and the generation of light on nucleotide incorporation, rather than chain termination with dideoxynucleotides. 2, record 1, English, - pyrosequencing

Le pyroséquençage est une technique de séquençage de l'ADN qui permet d’effectuer un séquençage rapide et à moindre coût qu'un séquençage par la méthode de Sanger. En effet, cette technique ne nécessite pas de clonage (donc gain de temps et d'argent), et permet une lecture directe de la séquence obtenue après le séquençage. 2, record 1, French, - pyros%C3%A9quen%C3%A7age

A specific class of deoxyribonucleases known as restriction endonucleases cleaves DNA at specific nucleotide sequences. These enzymes protect the cells from foreign DNA, but they do not act on the host DNA. They have been used extensively in DNA sequencing and recombinant DNA technology. 2, record 2, English, - endonuclease

We report a simple and reliable protocol for nucleotide sequencing using the Sanger dideoxy technique on linearized double-stranded DNA molecules with specific oligonucleotide primers. The method is demonstrated for restriction fragments cloned into the plasmid vectors pSP64 and pSP65 using two vector-specific primers, the M13 reverse primer and a new SP6 primer, flanking the multiple cloning site. 1, record 3, English, - reverse%20primer
