Abstract

An efficient method for sequencing large fragments of DNA is described. A subclone path through the fragment is first identified; the collection of subclones that define this path is then sequenced using transposon-mediated direct sequencing techniques to an extent sufficient to provide the complete sequence of the fragment.
