Methods, compositions and kits are described for resequencing, confirming or verifying Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) results with Sanger Sequencing. These methods are particularly useful for samples having very limited quantities such as formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE), Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM), fine needle biopsies or aspirates.

This invention provides a process for sequencing nucleic acids using 3′ modified deoxynucleotide analogues or 3′ modified deoxyinosine triphosphate analogues, and 3′ modified dideoxynucleotide analogues having a detectable marker attached thereto.

Various embodiments of the teachings relate to a system or method for sample preparation or analysis in biochemical or molecular biology procedures. The sample preparation can involve small volume processed in discrete portions or segments or slugs, herein referred to as discrete volumes. A molecular biology procedure can be nucleic acid analysis. Nucleic acid analysis can be an integrated DNA amplification/DNA sequencing procedure.

Embodiments of a method and/or system can include generating a set of target-associated molecules (e.g., spike-in molecules) associated with one or more biological targets; generating one or more spike-in mixtures based on processing the set of target-associated molecules with one or more samples including the one or more biological targets; performing one or more Sanger sequencing operations on the one or more spike-in mixtures; determining one or more abundance metrics based on chromatogram-related outputs from the one or more Sanger sequencing operations; and/or facilitating characterization of one or more medical conditions based on the one or more abundance metrics.

Provided herein are methods for identifying centromeres and centromeres identified by such methods. Centromeres of organisms such as algae, fungi, and protists can be used, for example, for constructing artificial chromosomes and cells containing such artificial chromosomes.
