Abstract:
:A method for fast nucleotide sequencing is described. It is based in the selection of well-known small oligomers able to be hybridized with the unknown target. The selected oligomers are afterwards ordered following a simple statistical approach. The use of capillary electrophoresis for the analysis is emphasized.
