We have developed a directed DNA sequencing strategy based upon theEscherichia colitransposon Tn3. This transposon displays little sequence specificity for transposition and is thus well suited to this task. Both mini-Tn3 transposons and sequencing vectors bearing the phage f 1 single stranded origin of replication have been constructed. Upon mutagenesis of a target sequence, a population is produced in which each clone has two f1 origins of replication, one of which is at a variable position depending upon the tranposon insertion site. When helper phage is added to the mutagenised population, the two f1 origins present on each clone are nicked, dividing the packaged strand into two segments, each of which is packaged into a separate phage particle. One of these segments contains no resistance markers and is lost, whilst the other is recovered as a deleted clone with a single chimeric f1 origin. A enidirectionally, variablydeleted set of sequencing clones is produced, and appropriately sized clones are sequenced using a primer complimentary to the transposon end. In addition to being inexpensive, the method does not require the same degree of technical expertise neededfor manyin vitro, enzymatically based methods. The strategy has been used to determine 2.6 kilobases of nucleotide sequence in theSaccharomyces cerevisiae ADE 1locus.
