  • Nucleic acid amplification with direct sequencing
    Patent number: 6361949
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of amplifying a sequence of interest present within a nucleic acid molecule. In addition, this invention provides a method of determining the nucleotide sequence of a sequence of interest present within a nucleic acid molecule (e.g. GAWTS and RAWTS) which can be used to sequence tissue specific genes (e.g. tsRAWTS) and genes across species (e.g. zooRAWTS). In addition, this invention provides a method of synthesizing a polypeptide encoded for by a nucleic acid molecule (RAWIT). Further, the subject invention provides a method of determining an internal nucleotide sequence present within a nucleic acid molecule, and a method of determining a terminal nucleotide sequence present within a nucleic acid molecule (e.g. PLATS). Also provided for is a method of determining the nucleotide sequence of sequences present within a nucleic acid molecule which are adjacent to areas of known sequence (e.
