[Use of continuous stacking hybridization in sequencing using modified oligonucleotide matrices].

The opportunity of DNA sequencing by hybridization with oligonucleotide matrix (SHOM) with simultaneously use continuous stacking hybridization and gapped-matrices is considered. The analysis of reconstruction efficiency for various combinations matrices and l-oligonucleotides libraries were made. In most cases combine use of continuous stacking hybridization and gapped matrices permits to decrease the number of additional stacking hybridization twice without lost of efficiency.

[Effectiveness of sequencing using stacking hybridization on oligonucleotide matrices with varying length of immobilized oligonucleotides].

The opportunity of enhancing the sequencing efficiency by applying continuous stacking hybridization is considered. The approach is based on the increase of duplex length by continuous stacking hybridization of oligonucleotides added to solution (l-oligonucleotides) to oligonucleotides immobilized on matrix (L-oligonucleotides). An analysis of reconstruction efficiency for sequenced fragments up to length of 30000 nucleotides was made. Various combinations of L- and l-oligonucleotide length were considered. The results obtained enable one to evaluate the potentialities of the proposed method for various nucleotide matrices and the complexity of experiment. Use of continuous stacking hybridization permits a considerable increase of the length of sequenced DNA fragments. We offer the approach for resolving ambiguities in branching points, which occur because of long repeats. It is based on continuous stacking hybridization of several l-oligonucleotides which form a "chain" stabilized by mutual stacking interaction.

[Reconstruction of a sequenced sequence using results of stacked hybridization with an oligonucleotide matrix].

The efficiency of additional rounds of continuous stacking hybridization in DNA sequence reconstruction by hybridization with oligonucleotide matrix (SHOM) is considered. At first, DNA is hybridized with a matrix of oligonucleotides of the length L. The overlapping of the tuples which have formed perfect duplexes with the DNA, on the one hand, has enabled us to reconstruct unambiguously a part of the sequence, and on the other hand, suggested a modified scheme for reconstructing the remaining part. Then the additional hybridizations should be carried out in the presence of shorter oligonucleotides of the length l, that are able to form perfect duplexes of the length L + l in continuous hybridization closely to matrix tuples. In this case the stability of a duplex consisting of l-tuples and long DNA is enhanced due to stacking interaction. The information obtained about the succession of L + l sites considerably increases the efficiency of reconstruction, which can eventually reach the efficiency of a matrix consisting of (L + l)-tuples. We propose here an algorithm for compiling such a set of l-tuples to be added that the number of additional hybridizations can be appreciably diminished. For an octanucleotide matrix and different sets of pentanucleotides to be used for continuous stacking hybridization, the length of unambiguously sequenced DNA undergoes a rise from 200 to some thousands bp.
