Abstract
Automated fluorescent sequencing is often overlooked as a point mutation scanning technique usually on the grounds of cost, technical complexity, and difficulties in processing the information generated. However, sequencing cannot be avoided completely, because regardless of the mutation scanning technique employed, it must ultimately be used for mutation characterization.
