DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TLDR
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.Abstract:
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described. It is similar to the “plus and minus” method [Sanger, F. & Coulson, A. R. (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 94, 441-448] but makes use of the 2′,3′-dideoxy and arabinonucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase. The technique has been applied to the DNA of bacteriophage ϕX174 and is more rapid and more accurate than either the plus or the minus method.read more

Construction of improved M13 vectors using oligodeoxynucleotide-directed mutagenesis.
TL;DR: In adding the restriction endonuclease cleavage sites for SphI and KpnI to the lac cloning region of the phage vectors, this technique can be used as a general method for inserting sequences of DNA as well as introducing deletions and base pair changes.

Complete cloning of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) cDNA and preliminary genomic organization of the DMD gene in normal and affected individuals.
TL;DR: The 14 kb human Duchenne muscular dystrophy cDNA corresponding to a complete representation of the fetal skeletal muscle transcript has been cloned and the majority of deletions are concentrated in a single genomic segment corresponding to only 2 kb of the transcript.

TL;DR: A DNA sequencing technology in which scalable, low-cost semiconductor manufacturing techniques are used to make an integrated circuit able to directly perform non-optical DNA sequencing of genomes, showing its robustness and scalability by producing ion chips with up to 10 times as many sensors and sequencing a human genome.

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of the human HGF cDNA reveals that both α- andβ-chains are contained in a single open reading frame coding for a pre-pro precursor protein of 728 amino acids, which indicates that the activity of HGF is not species-specific.
