We describe a new DNA sequencing technology. A commonly available, inexpensive epifluorescence microscope can be converted to rapid nonelectrophoretic DNA sequencing automation. We apply this to resequence an evolved strain of Escherichia coli at less than 1 error per million consensus bases. A cell-free, mate-paired library provided single DNA molecules that are amplified in parallel to 1-micrometer beads by emulsion PCR. Millions were immobilized in a polyacrylamide gel and subjected to automated cycles of sequencing by ligation and four-color imaging. Cost per base was roughly one-ninth as much as that of conventional sequencing. Our protocols were implemented with off-the-shelf instrumentation and reagents.
