Abstract
In one aspect, there are provided methods of amplifying and sequencing a polynucleotide. In some embodiments, the method includes (a) amplifying the polynucleotide with at least one amplification primer, a processive amplification polymerase, a sequencing primer, a sequencing polymerase, deoxynucleoside triphosphates suitable for template-dependent primer extension, and one or more terminating nucleotides, the incubation being carried out at a first temperature suitable for amplifying the polynucleotide with the processive amplification polymerase; (b) incubating the product of step (a) at a second temperature suitable for forming a plurality of differently-sized extended sequencing primers with the sequencing polymerase; (c) evaluating the extended sequencing primers in order to determine the sequence of the polynucleotide. The reactions at the first and second temperatures can be carried out in a single reaction vessel. In other aspects, compositions and kits for carrying out the methods are also provided.
