I managed to sequence Cosmid using the double stranded sequencing method a
couple of times.

First i digested 10ug of cosmid dna with a semi-frequence cutter, such as
pstI or EcorI

i then phenol extracted the dna and precicpitated it. Then made the usual
sequencing pellet by denaturation from this 10ug of template.

I managed to get novel sequence of this cosmid. Which i know is from the
gene i am interested in..l



(i just thought linearise and make a mixture of fragments, then let the
primer do the sorting for u.)
