    Since the advent of the Sanger method in 1977, many changes have taken place. The major ones are briefly discussed below:

    a) The first big revolution came with the advent of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). Sanger's original method required the subcloning of a sequence of interest into an M13 vector to produce many copies of ssDNA. M13 was a difficult organism to grow and ...
