Of course. Just needs DNA which is enough clear... usea commercial kit,
I´d recommend Quiagen or someting similar. Cycle sequencing and linear
sequencing both work. We do routinely Minipreps ans mentioned above, 
then
sequence them with the new ABI cycle seq. kit in a
one-cup-one-PCR-reaction. Works up to 800 bases.
Ask for more if you want.

I think I did not understand something here. Is "linear sequencing"
a non-cycle sequencing (aka T7 polymerase)? IF so, how it can work with 
chromosomal DNA UNLESS it is amplified first? DIRECT sequencing of 
bacterial chromosomal DNA should be possible with cycle sequencing with 
amounts of >1 fmol, but I am not sure if it is possible with fluorescent 
labelling, unless you use some sort of trick to increase sensitivity
about 10-fold. Am I missing something?
