DNA Sequencing of Entire Plant Genomes

Data from automated DNA sequencing

Long Description: A series of DNA fragments that differ in length by 1 base are detected as a series of peaks. Four different fluorescent dyes are used to identify DNA fragments that end in an A, C, G or T base. In the data output DNA fragments ending in A are represented as green peaks. Fragments ending in C are represented as blue peaks. Fragments ending in G are represented as black peaks. Fragments ending in T are represented as red peaks. Thus, the series of peak colors in the data is used to read the base sequence of the DNA.
