Automated fluorescent sequencing of lambda DNA

Automated DNA sequencing: ultrasensitive detection of fluorescent bands during electrophoresis.

A simple system has been designed enabling ultrasensitive on-line detection of fluorescently labelled macromolecules, e.g. nucleic acids, proteins and peptides during electrophoretic separations in gels. An important application is the automated DNA sequence determination without radioactivity. Drying of gels, film exposure and handling are not necessary. A sulphydryl containing M13 sequencing ...

Automated fluorescent DNA sequencing by a simplified solid-phase chemical sequencing method.

Heterozygote and mutation detection by direct automated fluorescent DNA sequencing using a mutant Taq DNA polymerase.

We describe a method for direct cycle sequencing of PCR fragments amplified from genomic DNA or cDNA. DNA sequencing template is amplified using PCR and oligonucleotide primers flanking the region of interest. The amplified fragment is directly cycle sequenced using fluorescent sequencing primers, Sanger dideoxy sequencing chemistry and an enzyme mixture of a mutant Taq DNA polymerase and therm...

A DNA cycle sequencing reaction that minimizes compressions on automated fluorescent sequencers.

We recently demonstrated that most band compressions (>70%) on DNA sequencing gels result from the presence of a single sequence motif, 5'-YGN1-2AR-3', where Y and R indicate base-pairing pyrimidine and purine residues, respectively. This finding raised the possibility that the use of 7-deaza-dATP instead of dATP in chain termination sequencing reactions would resolve most of the band compressi...
