RESUMO

We have previously reported an enhanced version of sequencing by hybridization (SBH), termed positional SBH (PSBH). PSBH uses partially duplex probes containing single-stranded 3' overhangs, instead of simple single-stranded probes. Stacking interactions between the duplex probe and a single-stranded target allow us to reduce the probe sizes required to 5-base single-stranded overhangs. Here we demonstrate the use of PSBH to capture relatively long single-stranded DNA targets and perform standard solid-state Sanger sequencing on these primer-template complexes without ligation. Our results indicate that only 5 bases of known terminal sequence are required for priming. In addition, the partially duplex probes have the ability to capture their specific target from a mixture of five single-stranded targets with different 3'-terminal sequences. This indicates the potential utility of the PSBH approach to sequence mixtures of DNA targets without prior purification.
