DESCRIPTION
• Pyrosequencing is a simple and robust technique that sequences by synthesis. Using a short PCR product as a template, bases are added systematically and incorporated into a replicating DNA strand. Pyrosequencing utilizes a series of enzymatic reactions to detect pyrophosphate that is released during base incorporation and uses the detection data to establish the sequence of the template strand.

• Pyrosequencing data is a quantitative measurement of each detected nucleotide and is ideal for measuring relative amounts of CpG methylation, allele quantification, and mutation analysis. Pyrosequencing ensures precision and accuracy, reliable detection and quantification of sequence variation, down to at least the 5% mutation level.

INSTRUMENT
