| Abstract: | DNA sequencing separations of standard DNA fragments of known sequence have been achieved in small diameter capillary gels electrophoresed and analyzed in parallel in a modified commercial DNA sequencer instrument. DNA sequencing in terms of base-calling accuracy is comparable to conventional slab gels; however, the separations in the capillary were performed somewhat faster and required less sample than those in the slab gel. Advantages of this approach vs. separations on conventional slab gels are discussed. |
