* shotgun sequencing
* Chain termination method

In biochemistry, sequencing means more generally the determination of
the primary sequence of any heterobiopolymer. This includes nucleotide
sequencing as well as protein sequencing (using Edman degradation,
[mass spectrometry]?, protease digests), though it is not common to talk of
sequencing a polysaccharide.

In genetics, sequencing means to determine the nucleotides of a DNA strand. Methods to do this are :

chromosome walking
shotgun sequencing
Chain termination method
