Of course, you need to get the sequence after you've got your amplified DNA. That involves performing electrophoresis or using a more modern DNA sequencer machine.
Questions:
Do people still work with gels and electrophoresis anymore? That seems like a barrier for a DIY shop. Not only does it involve a lot of equipment, but the interpretation of results seems like it would be hard.
Is it possible to send out the amplified DNA and get it sequenced by a service? I know that sequencing costs have gone down drastically with new technology, perhaps the DIYer can benefit from that?
