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

Genome Sequence Assembly Using Trace Signals and Additional Sequence Information.
TL;DR: A method for assembling shotgun sequences which primarily uses high confidence regions whilst taking advantage of additional available information such as low confidence regions, quality values or repetitive region tags, which demonstrates the need to recognise and handle correctly very long, untagged and nonstandard repeats.

TL;DR: The primary structure of the receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), determined by means of cloning a cDNA that encodes the murine pre-PDGF receptor, is closely related to that of the v-kit oncogene product and the receptors for macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF-1).

An explanation for the phenotypic differences between patients bearing partial deletions of the DMD locus.
TL;DR: A molecular mechanism to explain the clinical difference in severity between DMD and BMD patients who bear partial deletions of the same gene locus is presented and is applicable to potential 5' and 3' intron splice mutations and their effect on protein production and clinical phenotype.

A nerve growth factor-induced gene encodes a possible transcriptional regulatory factor
TL;DR: One of the complementary DNA clones that was rapidly induced by NGF was found to have a nucleotide sequence that predicts a 54-kilodalton protein with homology to transcriptional regulatory proteins.

Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage G4 DNA.
TL;DR: The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs.
