ABSTRACT:
An improved method of determining the nucleotide base sequence of DNA is disclosed. The method comprises preparing a DNA substrate comprising a set of molecules, each having a template strand and a primer strand, wherein the 3' ends of the primer strands terminate at about the same nucleotide position on the template strands of the molecules within each set. DNA synthesis is induced to obtain labeled reaction products comprising newly synthesized DNA complementary to the template strands using the 3' ends of the primer strands to prime DNA synthesis, labeled nucleoside triphosphates, and at least one modified nucleoside triphosphate, wherein the modified nucleoside triphosphate is selected to substantially protect newly synthesized DNA from cleavage. The labeled reaction products are cleaved at one or more sites to obtain labeled DNA fragments wherein the newly synthesized DNA is substantially protected from cleavage at the selected site or sites. The labeled DNA fragments are separated and their nucleotide base sequence is identified by suitable means.
