Pyrosequencing is a powerful technology used to detect and monitor DNA sequences. It has revolutionized genetic research and helped in the diagnosis of many diseases. Although "pyrosequencing" is the widely-accepted term used to describe this technique, there are several synonyms that can be used interchangeably. These include: 1. 454 sequencing, which refers to the brand name of the technology 2. NanoSeq, as the technology is used in the nanopore sequencing devices 3. Pyrosequencing-by-synthesis, which describes the technology where the DNA sequence is synthesized rather than read. 4. Sequencing-by-synthesis, used to describe the process where bases are added sequentially. These synonyms can be used in academic literature, presentations, and discussions as an alternative to the term "pyrosequencing".
