By using modified nucleoside triphosphates for strand protection in chain termination reactions, newly synthesized chains were detached from a primer at the regenerated recognition site by means of suitable restriction enzyme digestion. The digests could be analyzed with commercial automated DNA sequencers. Thus, by using restriction DNA fragments (double-stranded) as primers, sequence information was obtained from both "minus" and "plus" single-stranded DNA templates without subcloning. Nor is the synthesis of oligonucleotide primers needed. This method, named "Multi-Priming Sequencing," was proven to be time-saving, economical, and effective compared to conventional methods.Read More
