The document discusses DNA sequencing and the Sanger method. It explains that the Sanger method involves (1) denaturing double-stranded DNA into single strands, (2) attaching primers and extending DNA fragments with nucleotides except one reaction uses a dideoxynucleotide which terminates extension, (3) separating the fragments by size using gel electrophoresis, and (4) determining the sequence by the termination positions. The Sanger method is commonly used today to determine the sequence of nucleotides in DNA and RNA from various organisms, which has applications in molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and other fields.
