Multiplexed capillary electrophoresis for DNA sequencing with ultra violet absorption detection.
DNA sequencing is performed in a multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system by UV absorption detection. Four individual electropherograms are obtained by simultaneously running the unlabeled DNA products of the four ddNTP-terminated reactions in the capillary array. The sequence of the template used in the cycle-sequencing reaction can be determined by overlaying the four electropherograms. Two internal standards are employed to adjust for the variance in migration times among the capillaries. After applying the correction algorithm, base calling can be done at a high level of confidence.
