dsDNA sequencing protocol

[Paul N Hengen]

| Jaz Baker asked for a plasmid sequencing protocol.

If you gopher to net.bio.net, you can find lots and lots of good stuff :-)

For example...<re-post follows>

] Basically you simply dissolve clean miniprep plasmid DNA in 25-50ul TE;
] 
] to 5ul add 1ul appropriately diluted sequencing primer (10ng/ul);
] 
] add 1ul 1M NaOH & mix;
] 
] 37 deg C 10'
] 
] add 1ul 1M HCL & mix;
] 
] add 2ul 5X Sequenase buffer
] 
] (optional: 37 deg C 5 min)
] 
] and thereafter go for it according to the Sequenase manual.

] Cuts plasmid sequencing time down drastically, and will really be a help when
] sequencing more than one template.
