The current sequencing method uses fluorescent labeled ddNTP. The sequencer only detects the sequences with fluorescence signals. Due to the lack of fluorescence, primers are generally invisible to the sequencer. For PCR products, in order to obtain the sequence of PCR primers, PCR products can be used for bidirectional detection or cloning into a vector, and sequencing with the primers fused to the vector（Note that the primers can't be too close to the insert fragment.）
