  • Sequencing primers with progressively higher molecular weights are utilized.
  • Electrophoretic separation is based on the molecular weights of truncated DNA molecules, ensuring distinct signal separation.

    • Main Results:

    • The technology allows for the effective separation of truncated DNA molecules from multiple targets in a single lane without sequence overlap.
    • Successful applications demonstrated include pathogen detection (Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum), contaminant identification in meat (coliforms, E. coli O157:H7), and SNP detection (NAT1 gene).

    Conclusions:

    • MULTIGEN technology offers a powerful and efficient method for multiplex DNA sequencing.
    • Its applications span diagnostics, food safety, and genetic research.
    • The method provides a significant advancement in analyzing multiple DNA targets simultaneously.
