Flashes of light are emitted whenever a base is added in _____ sequencing. Illumina 454 chain termination Sanger cycle

Solution

Flashes of light are emitted whenever a base is added in 454 sequencing.

The intensity of the light produced is directly propotional to the number of bases added. During this process release of a molecule of pyrophosphate occurs. This emitted light is picked up by the optical fibers and transmitted to camera, which can be readed further.
