Methods for the direct determination of nucleotide sequences in DNA have been developed and used to determine the complete primary structure of a fragment of bacteriophage φX174 DNA which is 48 residues in length. This fragment was liberated from φX DNA by digestion at low temperature and high ionic strength with the T4 phage-induced endonuclease IV. The fragment was redigested with endonuclease IV under vigorous conditions and the products fractionated two-dimensionally providing a characteristic endonuclease IV “fingerprint” of the fragment. The Burton (Burton & Petersen, 1960) depurination reaction was used to characterize the redigestion products and identify the pyrimidine residues at their 5′ and 3′ termini. These oligonucleotide products were then fully sequenced by partial exonuclease digestion with spleen and snake venom phosphodiesterase and analysis of the fractionated digests by base composition, depurination, and 5′ end-group analysis using exonuclease I. Rules for the interpretation of two-dimensional fingerprints of partial exonuclease digests, which rapidly provide sequence information by simple inspection, were also deduced. To derive the complete structure of the fragment, the fully sequenced oligonucleotides were ordered by characterizing large, overlapping, partial endonuclease IV digestion products by means of the depurination reaction. The sequencing methods described are general and may be used for the direct determination of the primary structures of other fragments of DNA.
