  • Use of extremely thermophilic DNA-polymerases
    Patent number: 6251637
    Abstract: Cycle sequencing of DNA with marker-labeled dideoxynucleotides is performed using extremely thermophilic DNA polymerases in a one-lane technique in which dideoxynucleotides labeled with a dye as a marker are used to obtain sequence ladders of more 500 bases. Chain elongation is performed at a temperature of 65 to 75° C. Surprisingly, it was found that chain elongation temperatures of substantially more than 60° C. could be used in cycle sequencing of DNA with marker labeled dye dideoxynucleotides when using extremely thermophilic DNA polymerases.
