ABSTRACT:
A new contiguous genome sequencing method is described which allows the contiguous sequencing of a very long DNA without need to be subcloned. It uses the basic PCR technique but circumvents the usual need of this technique for the knowledge two primers for contiguous sequencing, enabling the knowledge of only one primer sufficient. The present invention makes it possible to PCR amplify a DNA adjacent to a known sequence with which one primer can be made without the knowledge of the second primer binding site present in the unknown sequence. The present invention could thus be used to contiguously sequence a very long DNA such as that contained in a YAC clone or a cosmid clone, without the need for subcloning smaller fragments, using the standard PCR technique. It can also be used to sequence a whole chromosome or genome without any need to subclone it.
