    That allows visualization of PCRed product, which is a far cry from whole genome sequencing. You can visualize a target at a time with no sequence info. Using it for sequences would be extremely tedious and require a lot of runs.

      Yup, I used to do PCR genotyping. 50 samples running the same setup would take me a whole 12-hour day at my lower end lab.

      I can’t imagine having to do 50 different ones with 50 different templates and having to adjust each one. 😅 And that’s for 50 sequences. How many are there in a human?
