- Pyrosequencing(TM) technology is a bioluminometric DNA sequencing method that employs a cascade of four enzymes to deliver sequence signals. To date this technology has been limited to the sequencing of short stretches of DNA. As an improvement to this technique, we have introduced a bacterial group-specific, multiple sequencing primer approach that circumvents sequencing of less informative semi-conservative regions of the 16S rRNA gene. This new approach is suitable for challenging templates, improving sequence data quality, avoiding sequencing of non-specific amplification products, lessening sequencing time, and moreover, this strategy should open the way for many new applications in the future. The group-specific, multiple sequencing primers can be applied in the Sanger dideoxy sequencing method as well. In addition, we have improved the chemistry of the Pyrosequencing system enabling sequencing of longer stretches of DNA, which allows numerous new applications.

- In this study we sequenced partial mitochondrial small subunit rDNA from 32 fungal strains representing 31 species from 16 genera. Most of these species are common airborne fungi and pathogens that may cause various public health concerns. Sequence alignment showed several conserved and highly variable regions. The variable regions were deployed to design oligonucleotide probes for each fungal species. The specificity of the designed probes was first examined through homology search against GenBank database then further verified through hybridization experiments to 38 fungal strains. A total of 23 probes were verified as specific to 15 fungal species commonly detected in living and working environments. These new probes will have potential applications in clinical diagnosis and public health-related environmental monitoring.
