Gene sequencing differs from marker analysis in which way?
It determines the actual sequence of bases in the gene of interest using florescent bases.
It analyzes a neighboring DNA segment to the gene of interest
It uses gel electrophoresis to analyze the gene length
It utilizes the number of STRs to predict the allele of the gene
