Nested Deletions Kits for Sequencing

[Kimberley Snowden]

Another alternative is the DNAse I deletion strategy, which has worked
well for me.  It doesn't require a kit at all.  A reference for this
method is as follows:
Lin et al., 1985  Analytical Biochemistry 147: 114-119
The only thing I changed about this method was that I substituted all
the precipitation steps with clean ups using wizard/magic columns (no
affiliation with Promega, and many other companies products would work
equally as well) which increased my yield about 1000-fold.
Hope this helps.
