DNA Sequencing Process
(Step 3)
Caption:
The DNA sequencing process makes it possible for researchers to discover the amino-acid sequence in a substance. Shown here is step three in the process: After the target material has been placed in the thermal cycler and the base chemicals tagged (see Step 2), a gel plate is prepared for the DNA Sequencer. In this picture, lab employee Sherry Dawson and Ph.D. student Sherry Poff perform the task. [Image 3 of 5 related images; see also, DNA Sequencing, Steps 1, 2, 4 and 5.]
More about this Image
The work pictured in this series of images was performed at the DNA Sequencing Facility at Virginia Tech. Several of the researchers at the facility are National Science Foundation grantees. University facilities such as this one make it possible for students and faculty to perform hands-on research work, make discoveries, and earn awards and grants.
