Abstract: A DNA analyzing method which bonds a first oligomer of known base sequence to a DNA fragment obtained by digesting a DNA sample with a restrictive enzyme. The oligomer and DNA fragment are hybridized to other oligomers which have the sequences of all combinations of the types of bases within the length of several bases following the known base sequence. The presence or absence of hybridization or complementary DNA strand extension is determined and identifies the DNA fragment terminal sequence from this result. The DNA fragments are then fractionated and analyzed to determine the sequence. This DNA analyzing method provides an effective analysis of mixtures of long DNAs or DNA fragments.
