MCQ on Pyrosequencing of DNA

Pyrosequencing is a DNA sequencing technique that relies on the detection of released pyrophosphate upon nucleotide incorporation. It involves a series of enzymatic reactions, generating light proportional to the number of incorporated nucleotides, allowing for accurate sequence determination. This is an MCQ on Pyrosequencing of DNA- Principles and Applications.
