Sequencing reaction for Sequencing on ABI

In this reaction a PCR product (clean with ExoSap first) or part of a plasmid miniprep is used as template to incorporate marked base pairs for [Sanger sequencing]. After the reaction the sample can be run on an ABI sequencer to obtain the DNA sequence.

Do sequencing reaction:
1 μl Miniprep or clean PCR product
1 μl Primer (e.g. M13F) (10 μM)
6.25 μl H2O
1 μl BigDye sequencing mix (-20°C)
0.75 μl Sequencing buffer 5X (fridge, and yes, we use 5X to get a final concentration of 0.5X)

Run using “bigdye” program (in all machines under e.g. Gaby, Hilde or Simone)

  • Isolate a lot of DNA
  • Do a BigDye reaction with 5ug genomic DNA in 20ul total volume
  • Use 90 cycles
