M13 single-strand purification using a biotinylated probe and streptavidin coated magnetic beads

Abstract

A new method for M13 single-strand purification has been developed and tested. The procedure gives sufficient DNA for one set of thermally cycled sequencing reactions when analysed on the Applied Biosystems 373A fluorescent DNA sequencer. For this report, 250 random M13 subclones with 1-2 Kb inserts were grown and prepared using this method.
