Figure 1. Excess template DNA can reduce sequence extension lengths. In cases where 2pmol or more template DNA are sequenced, the supply of nucleotides can be exhausted before extensions reach suitable length for optimal sequencing. These sequences were run using up to 16g (8pmol) of M13mp18 DNA template.
