Sequencing-by-synthesis (SBS) by fluorescein-labeled nucleotide incorporating into a target DNA template has been greatly concerned on microarray. The extended fluorophore-base must be required to be quenched prior to sequencing the next one. However, the low quenching efficiency has been an obstacle in length-read. Here, we present a new sequencing strategy, multiple hybridization-extension sequencing (MHES), to resolve the above problem. Firstly, the sequencing primers hybridize to the ssDNA template immobilized on microarray. The first 3-5 bases next to the primers end are sequenced by SBS of Cy5-dNTP. The extended primers are rapidly removed by
DNA exonuclease. Then, the same primers hybridize to the same ssDNA templates again. The sequenced bases are polished by natural dNTP. The other 3-5 bases next to the polished primers end are sequenced. According to this principle, the unknown sequences of a target DNA could be sequenced after primers hybridization-extension multiple times. Although the fluorescein-labeled nucleotides are also needed, it is unnecessary to quench the fluorophore-bases in the process of sequencing. It has been successfully demonstrated that 10bp fragment from synthetic template and 10bp fragment from DTBNP1 gene were accurately sequenced. The new method has a great potential in read-length and high-throughput sequencing on microarray.
