The results illustrated in the given information are likely generated through a DNA sequencing technology, specifically a method called capillary electrophoresis sequencing.
What is Capillary electrophoresis sequencing?
Capillary electrophoresis sequencing is used to determine the order of nucleotides (A, T, C, G) in a DNA molecule. It involves separating DNA fragments based on their size and charge using an electric field in a capillary tube. The separated fragments are then detected and analyzed, providing the sequence information.
In the provided results, the numbers 1 to 8 represent different DNA samples or locations being analyzed. The "Negative Control" and "Positive Control" are likely used as quality controls to ensure the accuracy of the sequencing process. The names associated with the numbers (North Shore Site 1, Chicago Site 1, etc.) suggest that the DNA samples were collected from different geographical sites or specific locations for analysis.
