Abstract:
A method for sequencing DNA in which nucleic acid transcripts are produced by using RNA polymerase and a DNA fragment as a template, the resulting nucleic acid transcripts are separated into fractions, and the nucleic acid sequence is determined from the separated fractions, wherein said nucleic acid transcripts are produced in the presence of at least one compound represented by the following Formula (I), or salts thereof, whereinn is an integer of 1-7, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a p-toluenesulfonyl group, R2 represents an ethyl group or a group represented by the following Formula (II), R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a p-toluenesulfonyl group, and R4 represents an ethyl group or a group represented by the following Formula (II): â€ƒwherein m is 1 or 2, R5 represents a hydrogen atom, and R6 represents a hydrogen atom or an ethyl group.
