Whether you sequence DNA by manual or automated methods, cycle-sequencing technology offers advantages over non-cycle methods, not the least of which is the need for significantly less template DNA. End-labeled primer methods demonstrate decided advantages over other methods: Reactions primed by contaminating sequences will not be detected, which is very useful when working with templates that are difficult to obtain in pure enough form for use with other sequencing methods. Radiolysis of endlabeled primers produces unlabeled fragments that do not affect results, whereas radiolysis of internal labeling of reaction products can result in smeared bands and uninterpretable results.
