The use of tailed octamer primers for cycle sequencing.

Octamer-primed cycle sequencing using dye-terminator chemistry.

Octamer Sequencing Technology, OST, is a method of DNA sequencing using single octamer oligonucleotides to prime cycle sequencing reactions. This sequencing strategy is faster than a traditional primer-walking strategy, since access to this optimized octamer library eliminates delays associated with designing and synthesizing gene specific primers. In this report, OST has been optimized for flu...

Octamer-primed cycle sequencing: design of an optimized primer library.

This paper describes a novel method of primer walking using octamer oligonucleotides to prime DNA sequencing reactions. Octamer sequencing is compatible with isotopic and fluorescent sequencing chemistry, reaction conditions are optimized such that the samples can be processed in parallel, and the procedure has the potential to be automated. This strategy is faster than the traditional primer w...

Octamer-primed sequencing technology: effects of dNTP supplementation.

Octamer-primed sequencing is a directed DNA sequencing strategy that employs the use of a presynthesized octamer primer library. Together with electronic octamer sequencing technology (eOST) it provides a faster, less expensive way to obtain DNA sequence information and can be used as a valuable tool for gap closure in large-scale genomic sequencing. In this paper we discuss the effect of dGTP/...

5'-tailed sequencing primers improve sequencing quality of PCR products.

Evaluation of sequencing batch reactor performance for petrochemical wastewater treatment

Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology has found many applications in industrial wastewater treatment in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal time for a cycle of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and evaluate the performance of a SBR for petrochemical wastewater treatment in that cycle time. The reactor was operated with a suspended biomass configuration under ae...
