DNA sequencing using ultra small amounts of reagents and template.
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the key points in the genome project is finding ways to reduce the running cost in DNA sequencing. One way is to use a highly-sensitive fluorescent DNA sequencer, where only trace amounts of template DNA and reagents are needed. An experimental protocol optimized for the trace amounts of DNA analysis was established by using the hybridization reaction rate coefficient of primers on template DNA, which was estimated to be 7.5 x 10(5) M-1sec-1 at 37 degrees C. One femtomole of template DNA with 0.001 unit of modified T7 DNA polymerase (Sequenase Ver. 2.0) and also 0.45 fmol of M13 template DNA with 0.01 unit of Taq DNA polymerase were enough to sequence DNA of up to 400 bases.

Facile, High Quality Sequencing of Bacterial Genomes from Small Amounts of DNA
Sequencing bacterial genomes has traditionally required large amounts of genomic DNA (~1 μg). There have been few studies to determine the effects of the input DNA amount or library preparation method on the quality of sequencing data. Several new commercially available library preparation methods enable shotgun sequencing from as little as 1 ng of input DNA. In this study, we evaluated the NEB...

متن کاملSequencing of genomic DNA by combined amplification and cycle sequencing reaction.
BACKGROUND Despite considerable advances, DNA sequencing has remained somewhat time-consuming and expensive, requiring three separate steps to generate sequencing products from a template: amplification of the target sequence; purification of the amplified product; and a sequencing reaction. Our aim was to develop a method to routinely combine PCR amplification and cycle sequencing into one sin...
متن کاملAnalysis of the DNA sequencing quality and efficiency of the Apollo100 robotic microcycler in a core facility setting.
Sanger, or dideoxynucleotide sequencing, is an important tool for biomolecular research. An important trend in DNA sequencing is to find new and innovative ways to provide high-quality, reliable sequences in a more efficient manner, using automated capillary electrophoresis. The Apollo100 combines Sanger cycle sequencing and solid-phase reversible immobilization for product purification in a si...
