A DNA sequencing strategy that requires only five bases of known terminal sequence for priming.
收藏资源简介：
We have previously reported an enhanced version of sequencing by hybridization (SBH), termed positional SBH (PSBH). PSBH uses partially duplex probes containing single-stranded 3' overhangs, instead of simple single-stranded probes. Stacking interactions between the duplex probe and a single-stranded target allow us to reduce the probe sizes required to 5-base single-stranded overhangs. Here we demonstrate the use of PSBH to capture relatively long single-stranded DNA targets and perform standard solid-state Sanger sequencing on these primer-template complexes without ligation. Our results indicate that only 5 bases of known terminal sequence are required for priming. In addition, the partially duplex probes have the ability to capture their specific target from a mixture of five single-stranded targets with different 3'-terminal sequences. This indicates the potential utility of the PSBH approach to sequence mixtures of DNA targets without prior purification. IMAGES:
