Change needed from 40 to 30 years?
I think someone’s math is off. The article says, of Sanger sequencing:

“Developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977, it was the most widely used sequencing method for approximately 40 years.”

I would certainly agree with 30 years; but when next-gen took off, the “market share” of Sanger diminished rapidly. Sanger sequencers were and are still in use, but the rising speed and diminishing cost of next-gen machines surely made them more “widely used” than Sanger way before 2017 (40 years after 1977). I would even guess that that’s true in number of machines, not just numbers of runs or bases.

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 one external links on Sanger sequencing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120214053015/http://nano.cancer.gov/news_center/nanotech_news_2006-05-30a.asp to http://nano.cancer.gov/news_center/nanotech_news_2006-05-30a.asp
