DNA sequencing is critical to identifying many human genetic disorders caused by DNA mutations, including cancer. Pyrosequencing has opened up new possibilities for performing sequence-based DNA analysis. Pyrosequencing has been successful for both confirmatory sequencing and de novo sequencing. This book packed with key features regarding different aspects of pyrosequencing technology includes the general principles, enzyme properties, sequencing modes, instrumentation, limitations, potential and future applications.

Dr Prerna Pandey, a biotechnologist with several years of wet lab research experience, worked as a senior research fellow at International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, New Delhi. Her field of research in PhD included isolation and molecular characterization of Geminiviruses, genome sequencing and gene annotation, and gene silencing using the RNA interference technology. She has published papers in peer-reviewed journals in the field, and has a submitted a number of annotated Geminiviral genome sequences in the GenBank, including two novel ones. Prerna has also completed her editing and proof-reading courses from Society for the promotion of Editors and Proof-readers, UK and now works as a freelance scientific writer and editor.
