This study presents a cost-effective DNA sequencing method using minimal fluorescent sequencing mix. The optimized protocol increases sample throughput tenfold and simplifies post-reaction processing for accurate results.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Conventional DNA sequencing protocols often require significant amounts of reagents.
  • High reagent costs and complex post-reaction steps can limit sample throughput and accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simplified, cost-effective method for DNA sequencing.
  • To reduce reagent consumption and streamline the sequencing workflow.

Main Methods:

  • A modified protocol for sequencing double-stranded DNA (< 100 ng) was developed.
  • The method utilizes one-tenth of the manufacturer-recommended fluorescent sequencing mix.

Main Results:

  • The modified method enables sequencing of at least ten times more samples per kit.
