9. Outline of the course

10. The Amino Acids Asn (N) Asp (D) Gln (Q) Glu (E) His (H) Lys (K) Arg (R) Tyr (Y) Trp (W) Phe (F) Gly (G) Pro (P) Ile (I) Met (M) Leu (L) Ala (A) Val (V) Ser (S) Cys (C) Thr (T)

11. Automated sequencing The major break-through of sequencing has happended through automation. Fluorescent dyes. Laser based scanning. Capillary electrophoresis Computer based base- calling and assembly. Images: http://www.idtdna.com/support/technical/TechnicalBulletinPDF/DNA_Sequencing.pdf
