Which sequencing technology detects DNA synthesis by measuring light emission?

  1. Sanger sequencing
  2. Illumina sequencing
  3. Pyrosequencing
  4. Nanopore sequencing
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pyrosequencing

Pyrosequencing detects pyrophosphate release during nucleotide incorporation. This release generates light, which is measured.
