Enhancing DNA sequencing

DNA Sequencing

Double stranded DNA sequencing as a choice for DNA sequencing.

Double stranded DNA sequencing (1) is favored because of its simplicity, and convenice. However it is only recently that the quality of this method has become comparable with single stranded DNA sequencing. We believe that two factors have limited the popularity of double stranded DNA sequencing: 1, the quality of the template DNA; 2, the inherent propertv.,of the DNA polymerase. The modified T...

DNA sequencing: clinical applications of new DNA sequencing technologies.

We are in a time of great change in genetics that may dramatically impact human biology and medicine. The completion of the human genome project,1,2 the development of low-cost, high-throughput parallel sequencing technology, and large-scale studies of genetic variation3 have provided a rich set of techniques and data for the study of genetic disease risk, treatment response, population diversi...

Dna Sequencing In

A DNA sequencing method has been developed whereby DNA that has been cloned in a single-stranded bacteriophage vector can be sequenced from both ends. The method involves f i r s t making a minus-strand sense template from a single-stranded insert in the vector MJ3mp2 using a flanking primer~ and then sequencing the synthesized template using the d i d e o x y n u c l e o t i d e termination me...

Enzymatic multiplex DNA sequencing.

The problem of reading DNA sequence films has been reformulated using an easily implemented, multiplex version of enzymatic DNA sequencing. By utilizing a uniquely tagged primer for each base-specific sequencing reaction, the four reactions can be pooled and electrophoresed in a single lane. This approach has been previously proposed for use with fluorescently labelled probes (1), and is analog...
