title: Fluorescent and radioactive solid phase dideoxy sequencing of pcr products in microtitre plates.
abstract: In this paper we describe a rapid method for the direct generation of DNA sequencing templates from phage or bacteria. Sequencing of these PCR products can be performed by radioactive and fluorescent methods. The non-radioactive method has been used to sequence a total of approximately 100 kb of human DNA fragments generated by digestion with HpaII and subsequent cloning. The method depends on direct small scale amplification using a biotinylated primer, and the binding of the product to streptavidin coated magnetic beads. All the procedures are carried out in a microtitre plate thus facilitating the handling of large numbers of clones and has potential for automation.
