A DNA sequencing by synthesis assay that identifies sequence information using DNA polymerase and reversible terminator, requiring immobilization of genomic DNA fragments onto a surface and a specific clonal amplification step known as bridge PCR. Reliance on a reversible terminator allows cycles of DNA chain extension by DNA polymerase and imaging without the need of electrophoretic separation of newly synthesized DNA fragment as with Sanger sequencing.
