title: The production of single-stranded DNA suitable for sequencing using the polymerase chain reaction.
abstract: A simple and reliable procedure for the amplification of single-stranded DNA suitable for sequencing is described. This procedure employs the polymerase chain reaction and implements modifications pertaining to the purification of the double-stranded DNA product prior to single-stranded DNA amplification. The most consistent sequencing reactions are obtained when the double-stranded DNA product is purified by centrifugation with a microconcentrator prior to single-stranded DNA amplification and the overall amount of specific primers and number of cycles used, in both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA polymerase chain reactions, are reduced.
