  • Confirmation sequencing
    Publication number: 20030113767
    Abstract: The invention provides an automated method for determining similarity between each of two or more template sequences and a corresponding reference sequence. The method involves the computer implemented steps of (a) verifying that one or more first read sequences corresponding to one or more first portions of each of the two or more template sequences is substantially the same as a corresponding reference sequence, wherein the first read sequences are obtained by sequencing using a defined primer, and (b) confirming that one or more second read sequences corresponding to second portions of one or more verified template sequences is substantially the same as the corresponding reference sequence, wherein the second read sequences are obtained using reference sequence primers.
