This study introduces a direct DNA sequencing method for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products using labeled primers. This approach enables accurate and efficient sequencing of DNA, including complex human genetic regions.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a widely used technique for DNA amplification.
  • DNA sequencing is crucial for genetic analysis and understanding biological processes.
  • Existing sequencing methods can be time-consuming and require extensive sample preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a direct in situ sequencing method for PCR products.
  • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of DNA sequencing.
  • To enable automated analysis of complex genetic regions, such as the HLA-DQA-1 locus.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the dideoxy-termination method with fluorophore-labeled sequencing primers.
  • Developed an in situ procedure for direct sequencing of PCR amplicons.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved over 99% accuracy in sequencing a 351-bp bacteriophage lambda genome region in a single lane.
    • Successfully sequenced a 1.7 kb unknown DNA fragment with minimal ambiguities using PCR gene walking.
    • Demonstrated unambiguous genotype assignment for the polymorphic HLA-DQA-1 locus from a blood sample.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed PCR-sequencing method offers a simple, accurate, and efficient approach for DNA template preparation and sequencing.
    • This methodology facilitates automated DNA sequence analysis of complex and highly polymorphic genetic regions.
    • The technique has significant implications for genetic research, diagnostics, and personalized medicine.
