DNA Sequencing Process
(Step 4)

Caption:

The DNA sequencing process makes it possible for researchers to discover the amino-acid sequence in a substance. Shown here is step four in the process: After a gel plate has been treated for the DNA Sequencer (see Step 3), the material is moved from the thermal sequencer to the DNA sequencer. [Image 4 of 5 related images; see also, DNA Sequencing Steps 1, 2, 3, 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.
