Abstract

The base sequence of large single stranded nucleic acids is determined by retarding the migration rate of a nucleic acid fragment of n bases below a migration rate which would otherwise be the same as the migration rate of a nucleic acid fragment of n bases in a polyacrylamide gel under continuous field gel electrophoresis. A plurality of sequences of electric field pulses is applied to the gel in one dimension.
