Can you help with 1a please HELPFUL INFORMATION: When performing classical Sanger or "dideoxy" sequencing, you set up 4 parallel reactions per template to be sequenced from a specific primer, with each of the four reactions containing a different dideoxynucleotide, and then the four reactions were run in a separate, adjacent lanes on a gel. 1a. Why couldn't you combine all 4 dideoxynucleotides with the primer and the template and do the whole reaction in one tube, and then run the set of fragments produced by the reaction mixture on a single lane in an acrylamide gel?
