This is often done using a denaturing polyacrylamide urea gel, with four reactions each run in one of the four lanes (lanes A, T, G, C). The DNA bands are then visualized by autoradiography or UV light and the DNA sequence can be read directly from the X-ray film or gel image.
In automated Sanger sequencing, a computer sequentially reads each band on a capillary gel and uses fluorescence to determine the identity of each terminal d dNTP. In essence, a laser excites the fluorescent labels in each band and a computer detects the resulting emitted light.
Sanger sequencing produces extension products of variable length that terminate in dideoxy nucleotides at the 3' ends. Extension products are separated by capillary electrophoresis or CE. Molecules are injected by an electric current into a long glass capillary filled with gel polymer.
