DEF

Device for determining the sequence of monomeric residues of a polymeric molecule.

CONT

[...] nous avons assisté à l'avènement de «séquenceurs automatiques» permettant d'obtenir rapidement la séquence de fragments d'ADN. Mais en fait de séquenceurs, ces outils permettent surtout la détection automatique de produits de séquence par fluorescence. La préparation des échantillons, les étapes de séquençage d'ADN stricto sensu, le coulage des gels et de dépôt des échantillons restent manuels.
