| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The shotgun sequencing method is not powerful enough to obtain accurate sequence data of tandem repeat DNA. Five years ago, I developed an alternative, efficient method. The purpose of the present research was to develop a higher-performance method based on a different principle.
The new method I established was demonstrated to produce sequence data of which the accuracy is as high as those obtained by the previous method, and far higher than those by the shotgun method. However, its performance has not yet exceeded that of the previous method in that it requires a longer period and higher cost for each sequencing assay.
At present, the new method needs additional improvements. During the two-year period, however, basic experimental data to be used toward this goal accumulated.
