Abstract
SOME time ago, we proposed an electron microscopic procedure for the determination of the sequence of bases in nucleic acids1. This method requires that electron-dense, base-specific groups be attached to the nucleic acid molecule. On examination in the electron microscope, the visible electron-dense groups indicate the positions of those bases to which they are specifically attached.
