Definitions:

DNA Sequencing

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the exact sequence of nucleotides within a DNA molecule, vital for genetic research and forensic analysis.

Chain Termination

A method used in DNA sequencing where the elongation of a DNA strand is halted by incorporating a nucleotide analogue.

Deoxynucleotide

A deoxynucleotide is a monomeric unit of DNA, consisting of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine.

DNA Strand

A DNA strand is one of the two polynucleotide chains that make up the double helix of DNA, carrying genetic information in the form of sequences of nucleotides.
