It is possible to perform a combined amplification and sequencing reaction
('DEXAS') directly from complex DNA mixtures by using two thermostable DNA
polymerases, one that favours the incorporation of deoxynucleotides over
dideoxynucleotides, and one which has a decreased ability to discriminate
between these two nucleotide forms. During cycles of thermal denaturation,
annealing and extension, the former enzyme primarily amplifies the target
sequence whereas the latter enzyme primarily performs a sequencing
reaction. This method allows the determination of single-copy nuclear DNA
sequences from amounts of human genomic DNA comparable to those used to
amplify nucleotide sequences by the polymerase chain reaction. Thus, DNA
sequences can be easily determined directly from total genomic DNA.
