Degenerate PCR - Sequencing?

[Jim Gerlach]

We have been doing PCR with degenerate primers (17mers, usually 256 fold) 
and obtaining products in the 150-300 bp size. After doing restriction 
digests to establish that we had produced some non-human products we are now 
ready to sequence. We could, of course, clone and sequence in a conventional 
fashion but I'm wondering what are the chances of doing sequencing using the 
degenerate primers. Anyone tried this (or some other nice trick)? Thanx for 
any sugguestions or help.
 
Cheers,
Jim
