• DISADVANTAGES
• Cost (per base) – Although Sanger Sequencing is relatively cheap
for small sequencing projects, the current cost per base is more
expensive than most sequencing methods
• Sample requirement – requires a large amount of DNA, which
must be attained either via PCR or plasmid cloning.

• Open GeneStudio
• Go to Contig Editor (Left Pane under Components)
• Click File Import Sequences
• Choose the 2 .ab1 files
• PSV.PS_PSF_070.ab1
• PSV.PS_PSR_093.ab1
• Click Open
• A window will appear asking if you want to assemble
the sequence. Choose Yes OK
• An edit contig window will appear. Click Cancel
Try browsing through the sequences
Note: you are seeing an alignment of 2 sequences
-coding strand
