Abstract
The electrophoretic separation of DNA molecules is usually performed in thin slabs of agarose or polyacrylamide gel. However, DNA separations can be achieved more rapidly and efficiently within a microbore fused silica capillary filled with an uncrosslinked polymer solution. An early assumption was that the mechanism of DNA separation in polymer solution-capillary electrophoresis (PS-CE) is the same as that postulated to occur in slab gel electrophoresis, i.e., that entangled polymer chains form a network of "pores" through which the DNA migrates. However, we have demonstrated that large DNA restriction fragments (2.0-23.1 kbp) can be separated by CE in extremely dilute polymer solutions, which contain as little as 6 parts per million [0.0006% (w/w)] of uncrosslinked hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) polymers. In such extremely dilute HEC solutions, far below the measured polymer entanglement threshold concentration, pore-based models of DNA electrophoresis do not apply. We propose a transient entanglement coupling mechanism for the electrophoretic separation of DNA in uncrosslinked polymer solutions, which is based on physical polymer/DNA interactions.

Abstract
A convenient procedure for the preparation of the fluorescent dye 4',5'-dichloro-2',7'-dimethoxy-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (JOE) is reported; the overall yield achieved starting from isovanillin is 10 times higher (40% vs 4%) compared to the known procedure. Isomers (5- and 6-) are easily chromatographically separable as pentafluorophenyl esters of 3',6'-O-bis(cyclohexylcarbonyl) derivatives. Four non-nucleoside JOE phosphoramidites based on 5- and 6-isomers and flexible 6-aminohexanol (AH) or rigid 4-trans-aminocyclohexanol (ACH) linkers have been prepared and used for oligonucleotide labeling. Spectral and photophysical properties of 5'-JOE-modified oligonucleotides have been studied. Fluorescence quantum yield of the dye correlates with the nature of the linker (rigid vs flexible) and with the presence of dG nucleosides in close proximity to a JOE residue.

Abstract
We describe a protocol for construction and quantification of libraries for emulsion PCR (emPCR)-based sequencing platforms such as Roche 454 or Ion Torrent PGM. The protocol involves library construction using customized Y adapters, quantification using TaqMan-MGB (minor groove binder) probe-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) and calculation of an optimal template-to-bead ratio based on Poisson statistics, thereby avoiding the need for a laborious titration assay. Unlike other qPCR methods, the TaqMan-MGB probe specifically quantifies effective libraries in molar concentration and does not require specialized equipment. A single quality control step prior to emulsion PCR ensures that libraries contain no adapter dimers and have an optimal length distribution. The presented protocol takes ∼7 h to prepare eight barcoded libraries from genomic DNA into libraries that are ready to use for full-scale emPCR. It will be useful, for example, to allow analyses of precious clinical samples and amplification-free metatranscriptomics.

Abstract
A highly sensitive in-column fiber-optic LIF detector for CE has been constructed and evaluated. In this detection system, a 457-nm diode-pumped solid-state blue laser was used as the excitation light source and an optical fiber (40 mum od) was used to transmit the excitation light. One end of the optical fiber was inserted into the separation capillary and was in situ positioned at the detection window. The other end of the fiber was protruded from the capillary to capture the excitation light beam from the blue laser. Fluorescence emission was collected by a 40 x microscope objective, focused on a spatial filter, and passed through a yellow color filter before reaching the photomultiplier tube. The present CE-fluorescence detection is a simple and compact optical system. It reduces the laser scattering effect from the capillary and fiber as compared to the conventional LIF detection for CE. Its utility was successfully demonstrated by the separation and determination of D-penicillamine labeled with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde. The detection limit was 0.8 nM (S/N = 3). The present detection scheme has been proven to be attractive for sensitive fluorescence detection for CE.

Abstract
Inverse-flow derivatization is a novel approach to obtain fluorescent DNA derivatives in DNA analysis based on CE with LIF detection. In the present work, we want to explore the feasibility of the application of this method into the mutation detection based on constant denaturant capillary electrophoresis (CDCE) and SSCP analysis. The DNA fragments were first amplified by PCR using a pair of common primers without fluorescent label, and then the mutations were determined by CDCE or SSCP analysis based on CE-LIF with inverse-flow derivatization of DNA fragments. The experimental conditions were investigated systematically, and different labeling modes including inverse-flow derivatization, on-column derivatization and fluorescent labeled primer technique were compared. The inverse-flow derivatization was successfully used in the detection of C677T mutation in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene by CDCE or SSCP analysis. Our preliminary results demonstrate that inverse-flow derivatization is very simple, inexpensive and sensitive and well suitable for the genetic analysis in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Linear polyacrylamide (LPA) has been widely used as a replaceable separation matrix in CE. An increase in the molecular weight of the separation medium favors the separation of larger DNA fragments. In order to obtain ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) LPA, a "frozen" method was developed to synthesize the LPA homopolymer. This approach has three major advantages when compared with other existing routes of LPA synthesis: (i) long LPA chains could be obtained easily, with their average molecular weight (MW) being in the high 10 MDa range; (ii) the desired MW could be adjusted over a broad range by controlling the temperature and the concentration of initiators during synthesis; (iii) the product solution contains only a tiny amount of impurity besides the solvent and LPA. Both static and dynamic laser light scattering measurements were carried out to characterize the synthesized LPA in the buffer solution. The DNA sequencing matrix prepared from LPA using this method was studied and the results were compared with the newly developed commercial product POP7 from Applied Biosystems. It should be noted that this approach can be applied to synthesize other water-soluble polymers, resulting in UHMW products because the chain transfer constant is smaller at lower temperatures.

Abstract
EvaGreen is a new DNA intercalating dye successfully used in quantitative real-time PCR. In the present work, we firstly apply EvaGreen to the analysis of dsDNA by CE with LIF detection. Comparisons of EvaGreen dye with the commonly used dyes SYBR Green I and SYBR Gold were preformed in dsDNA analysis by CE. The linear range of dsDNA using EvaGreen was slightly wider than that using SYBR Gold and SYBR Green I, and the detection limits of dsDNA were not significantly different for the three dyes. Good separations of dsDNA fragments were obtained using the three dyes. Reproducibility of migration time and the peak area of dsDNA fragments with EvaGreen were better than those for SYBR Green I and SYBR Gold. The RSD values were 0.24-0.27% for migration time and 3.45-7.59% for peak area within the same day, 1.35-1.63% for migration time and 6.72-12.05% for peak area for three days. Our data demonstrated that EvaGreen is well suited for the dsDNA analysis by CE with LIF detection.

Abstract
We present an approach called pulsed multiline excitation (PME) for measurements of multicomponent, fluorescence species and demonstrate its application in capillary electrophoresis for DNA sequencing. To fully demonstrate the advantages of PME, a fluorescent dye set has been developed whose absorption maxima span virtually the entire visible spectrum. Unlike emission wavelength-dependent approaches for identifying fluorescent species, the removal of the spectral component in PME confers a number of advantages including higher and normalized signals from all dyes present in the assay, the elimination of spectral cross-talk between dyes, and higher signal collection efficiency. Base-calling is unambiguously determined once dye mobility corrections are made. These advantages translate into significantly enhanced signal quality as illustrated in the primary DNA sequencing data and provide a means for achieving accurate base-calling at lower reagent concentrations.

Abstract
The use of two additional reservoirs to accommodate the electrodes of the power source is proposed to improve the stability of the running electrolyte in capillary electrophoresis. The basic idea is to use salt bridges to connect those reservoirs to the ones containing the capillary ends. Although simple, there are several issues that can be considered in the design and implementation of such system in order to prevent undesired transference of material between the electrolysis and the main reservoirs. The use of a sealed electrolysis reservoir without a gas phase, the use of materials that ensure volume stability, and the use of bridges as long as possible are three basic directions. A compromise is involved in the dimensions of the sectional area of the bridge, because a small area diminishes the amount of a species transferred by diffusion but leads to an undesirable increase of the electrical field during the electrophoretic running. Thus, a bridge composed of a main wide-bore tube connected to a small-bore capillary seems to give the best performance for practical use. A simple electrolysis-separated system was adapted to a preexisting capillary electrophoresis system, and its performance was evaluated with a mixture of tartaric, malic, and succinic acids that was separated in sodium benzoate solution (pH 5.5) using the original equipment and the modified one. Due to the water electrolysis and the small buffering capacity of the electrolyte, there was a significant pH change and consequently changes in the effective mobilities of the analytes and loss of resolution after a few runs using the original equipment. Using the electrolysis-separated system, no significant change in the migration time and resolution was observed even after 15 runs. Besides the freedom to prepare running electrolytes with electroactive species or unbuffered solution, high throughput and the use of small reservoirs, such as the ones used in microfluidic devices, are the main advantages of the system.

Abstract
A new compound class of synthetic isoelectric buffers is introduced, designed as a small molecule with one fully or prevailingly dissociated acidic group (such as sulfonic or carboxylic) and two partly pronated (buffering) basic amino groups attached onto a hydrophilic UV-transparent backbone. As an example, a new isoelectric compound 2,2-bis(4-morpholinylmethyl)propanoic acid (BMMPA) was synthesized by attaching two morpholine groups onto a molecule of pivalic acid. It was characterized as having an isoelectric point pI = 6.5 and exhibiting satisfactory buffering capacity at the pI. Solutions of BMMPA are transparent down to the low-UV spectral region, thus making it a potentially suitable buffer for a number of separation methods. Its use in capillary electrophoresis was demonstrated in a separation system for indirect photometric detection of anions based on an electrolyte with the anionic dye Orange G as the indirect detection probe and using BMMPA as a buffer. The use of an isoelectric buffering compound brings the advantages of a buffered electrolyte without the concomitant introduction of co-ions that would be detrimental to the indirect detection process. Submicromole per liter limits of detection for a number of inorganic and small organic ions were achieved. Optimal structural properties of the isoelectric buffer with respect to its buffering properties are discussed.

Abstract
A review on copolymers used as DNA separation media in capillary electrophoresis is presented. Copolymers can combine the desirable properties of different monomers, yielding many attractive features, such as high sieving ability, low viscosity, self-assembly behavior and dynamic coating ability. Copolymers with different molecular architecture, including block copolymers, random copolymers, and graft copolymers, have been developed and tested as DNA separation media with unique and tailored properties that cannot be achieved easily by using only homopolymers.

Abstract
DNA sequencing is performed in a multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system by UV absorption detection. Four individual electropherograms are obtained by simultaneously running the unlabeled DNA products of the four ddNTP-terminated reactions in the capillary array. The sequence of the template used in the cycle-sequencing reaction can be determined by overlaying the four electropherograms. Two internal standards are employed to adjust for the variance in migration times among the capillaries. After applying the correction algorithm, base calling can be done at a high level of confidence.

Abstract
The ability of a polymer matrix to separate DNA by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is strongly dependent upon polymer physical properties. In particular, recent results have shown that DNA sequencing performance is very sensitive to both the average molar mass and the average coil radius of the separation matrix polymers, which are affected by both polymer structure and polymer-solvent affinity. Large polymers with high average molar mass provide the best DNA sequencing separations for CE, but are also the most challenging to characterize with accuracy. The methods most commonly used for the characterization of water-soluble polymers with application in microchannel electrophoresis have been gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and intrinsic viscosity measurements, but the limitations and potential inaccuracies of these approaches, particularly for large or novel polymers and copolymers, press the need for a more universally accurate method of polymer molar mass profiling for advanced DNA separation matrices. Here, we show that multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS) measurements, carried out either alone or in tandem with prior on-line sample fractionation by GPC, can provide accurate molar mass and coil radius information for polymer samples that are useful for DNA sequencing by CE. Wider employment of MALLS for characterization of novel polymers designed as DNA separation matrices for microchannel electrophoresis should enable more rapid optimization of matrix properties and formulation, and assist in the development of novel classes of polymer matrices.

Abstract
Copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) with AM to DMA molar ratios of 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1 and molecular weights of about 2.2 MDa were synthesized. The polymers were tested as separation media in DNA sequencing analysis by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The dynamic coating ability of polydimethylacrylamide (PDMA) and the hydrophilicity of polyacrylamide (PAM) have been successfully combined in these random copolymers. A separation efficiency of over 10 million theoretical plates per meter has been reached by using the bare capillaries without the additional polymer coating step. Under optimized separation conditions for longer read length DNA sequencing, the separation ability of the copolymers decreased with decreasing AM to DMA molar ratio from 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1. In comparison with PAM, the copolymer with a 3:1 AM:DMA ratio showed a higher separation efficiency. By using a 2.5% w/v copolymer with 3:1 AM:DMA ratio, one base resolution of 0.55 up to 699 bases and 0.30 up to 963 bases have been achieved in about 80 min at ambient temperatures.

Abstract
Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) with a molecular mass of 5.2 x 10(6) g/mol has been synthesized and used in DNA sequencing analysis by capillary electrophoresis (CE). A systematic investigation is presented on the effects of different separation conditions, such as injection amount, capillary inner diameter, polymer concentration, effective separation length, electric field and temperature, on the resolution. DNA sequencing up to 800 bases with a resolution (R) limit of 0.5 (and 1,000 bases with a resolution limit of 0.3) and a migration time of 96 min was achieved by using 2.5% w/v polymer, 150 V/cm separation electric field, and 60 cm effective separation length at room temperature on a DNA sample prepared with FAM-labeled--21M13 forward primer on pGEM3Zf(+) and terminated with ddCTP. Ultrafast and fast DNA sequencing up to 420 and 590 bases (R > or = 0.5) were also achieved by using 3% w/v polymer and 40 cm effective separation length with a separation electric field of 525 and 300 V/cm, and a migration time of 12.5 and 31.5 min, respectively. PDMA has low viscosity, long shelf life and dynamic coating ability to the glass surface. The unique properties of PDMA make it a very good candidate as a separation medium for large-scale DNA sequencing by capillary array electrophoresis (CAE).

Abstract
A new spectroscopic dimension-fluorescence intensity correlation--is introduced to enhance peak resolution and species identification in capillary electrophoresis. In two-dimensional correlation CE, a conventional electropherogram is spread into two dimensions through cross-correlation analysis of fluorescence time response. A laser that is sinusoidally modulated in intensity is used as the excitation source. Three channels of information are collected during a CE run: the steady-state intensity, the ac amplitude, and the phase-resolved fluorescence intensity. The correlation between two chosen channels is then evaluated. A two-dimensional correlation electropherogram consists of a plot of the correlation intensity versus two axes of migration time. Through correlation analysis, species discrimination and peak resolution are significantly enhanced without having to physically separate the solutes. Two-dimensional correlation CE showed complete resolution between two overlapping sample peaks with a resolution of 0.28 in the conventional one-dimensional electropherogram. In separations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC), two-dimensional correlation analysis resolved all overlapping elution peaks unseparable by one-dimensional MEKC, demonstrating the utility of 2D correlation in separation method development. The capability of 2D correlation CE in species identification is demonstrated with a sequence of 39 consecutively injected peaks containing four fluorescent dyes. Species identification in sequencing is achieved without complex data treatment in two-dimensional correlation CE.

Abstract
A new laser-induced fluorescence detector for capillary electrophoresis (CE) is described. The detector is based on transverse illumination and collection of the emitted fluorescent light via total internal reflection along the separation capillary. The capillary is coated with a low refractive index fluoropolymer and serves as a liquid core waveguide (LCW). The emitted light is detected end-on with a CCD camera at the capillary exit. The observed detection limit for fluorescein is 2.7 pM (550 ymol) in the continuous-flow mode and 62 fM in the CE mode. The detector is applied to DNA sequencing. One-color G sequencing is performed with single-base resolution and signal-to-noise ratio approximately 250 for peaks around 500 bases. The signal-to-noise ratio is approximately 50 for peaks around 950 bases. Full four-color DNA sequencing is also demonstrated. The high sensitivity of the detector is suggested to partly be due to the efficient rejection of scattered laser light in the LCW. The concept should be highly suitable for capillary array detection.

Abstract
A simple base-calling scheme based on four-label multicolor detection is suggested for DNA sequencing. The entire spectra of the dye labels were used for identification. Specifically, the maxima of the emission spectra rather than the intensity ratios at selected wavelengths are used to provide excellent discrimination. Capillary gel electrophoresis was used for the separation of DNA fragments. Data acquisition and analysis compatible with fast and high-throughput imaging detection was accomplished. The accuracy of base calling of PGEM/U DNA from the raw data obtained with 5 nm and 7 nm spectroscopic resolution were 98.4% for 386 bases and 98.4% for 385 bases. Base calling of M13mp18 DNA showed 98.3% accuracy for 420 bases.

Abstract
A modified concentric nebulizer was used as the interface to couple capillary electrophoresis (CE) to inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The CE capillary replaces the central tube of the concentric nebulizer. The tip of the nebulizer tapers slowly to allow uncertainty in the position of the capillary. A platinum wire was inserted into the CE capillary to provide electrical connection to the CE power supply. pH changes inside the capillary due to electrolysis of the background buffer electrolyte was small and has minimal effects on the CE separation. The peak broadening effects due to the nebulizing gas flow, however, were significant. Resolution decreases quickly when the flow-rate of the carrier gas increases. Sample stacking technique was used to improve the resolution of species of opposite charge, e.g., Cr(VI) vs. Cr(III) ions. Detection limit of Cr based on peak area is approximately 10 ppb for the CE-ICP-AES system.

Abstract
We have constructed a rotary confocal fluorescence scanner and capillary array electrophoresis system that is designed to analyze over 1000 DNA sequencing or fragment sizing separations in parallel. Capillaries are arranged around the surface of a cylinder and a rotating objective in the middle of the cylinder excites and collects fluorescence from labeled DNA fragments as they pass the capillary detection window. The capillaries are pressure-filled with a replaceable matrix and the samples are electrokinetically injected in parallel from a stainless steel microtiter plate at the cathode end. We demonstrate that the instrument is capable of producing four-color data from all capillaries at a scan rate of 4 Hz (corresponding to a linear scan velocity of 121 cm/s). M13 sequencing data were obtained using a 128 capillary array mounted in half of the first quadrant of the scanner. In this initial run, read lengths greater than 500 bases were obtained in over 60% of the capillaries.

Abstract
A review on applications of on-line hyphenation in capillary electrophoresis and capillary electrochromatography for the identification of migrating analytes is presented. There is an urgent need for unambiguous analyte identification by combining spectral information and observed migration times, because the parameters influencing the migration times and separation efficiencies in these separation techniques are not easily controlled, especially when real samples containing unknown interferences have to be analyzed. The spectrometric techniques covered here are ultraviolet and visible radiation (UV/Vis) absorption, fluorescence including fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. Attention is essentially confined to literature reports in which the extra information provided by the detector is really used for identification purposes, especially in real-life samples, while the interfacing as such and analyte detectabilities in standard solutions are only briefly discussed. This article covers an extensive fraction of the literature published on this topic until the beginning of 1998.

Abstract
A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method is presented for the determination of the collagen crosslinks hydroxylysylpyridinoline (HP) and lysylpyridinoline (LP). Various detection techniques are compared, i.e. UV-Vis diode-array absorbance detection (DAD) and fluorescence detection both in the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and the conventional fluorescence mode. LIF detection was performed using a frequency-doubled Rhodamine dye laser pumped by an excimer laser, for excitation at 290 and 325 nm. The emission was measured with an intensified diode-array detector mounted on a spectrograph to obtain wavelength-resolved spectra. Relevant concentration detection limits were achieved only by using LIF detection, i.e. 200 nM of HP and LP in a 30 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.0). Linear calibration curves were obtained from the detection limits up to the maximum concentration available, 23 microM for HP and 4.2 microM for LP, respectively for both fluorescence modes. The identity of the migrating compounds was confirmed by on-line recording of both the absorption and the fluorescence spectra.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis DNA sequencing has been accomplished by using four different energy transfer primers and three fluorescence detection channels. Methods have also been developed to deconvolve the three-color data into the four base concentrations. The nonnegative least squares and model selection method resulted in the best accuracy. The three-color data were compared to sequencing data obtained using four detection channels and four energy transfer primers. The average accuracy rates obtained over three 500 base M13mp18 runs using three-color coding were 96% including 18 uncallable compressions and 99.6% if these compressions are excluded. The average accuracy rate obtained using four-color coding was 96.3% including 18 uncallable compressions and 99.9% if these compressions are excluded. Although it is unlikely that three-color schemes will replace four-color sequencing, these methods have exposed basic concepts that will be useful in the development of higher-order multiplex coding methods for DNA analysis.

Abstract
We demonstrated fast DNA separations in low viscosity entangled solutions with a temperature gradient in a non-denaturing separation medium. The separations were carried out in a solution of commercially available poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) [1 x Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane borate buffer, without urea] with a temperature gradient of 2 degrees C/min. The performance was compared with that of a solution of PEO with urea at ambient temperature. We found that the former condition gives sufficient resolution for accurate base calling and that in general, it gave better separation for fragments larger than 450 base pairs (bp). Most importantly, the separation speed approaches 30 bp/min. In addition, we describe a simple yet reliable gel preparation protocol for such separations.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of a part of a 4.9 kbp common restriction fragment isolated from Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage (bacterial virus) 3A has been determined by capillary electrophoresis (CE). The fast separation of sequencing fragments in linear polyacrylamide solution at a temperature of 55 degrees C allowed the reading of more than 650 bases of sequence in 60 min. The single strand (ss)DNA fragments were prepared by cycle sequencing with fluorescently labeled dideoxy-terminators on the cloned bacteriophage DNA template. With respect to analysis speed, sequence read-length, low sample consumption and automation, CE offers a simple, labor-saving and inexpensive procedure for DNA sequencing. Operating the CE columns at elevated temperature proved to be a rapid procedure capable of extending sequence read-length. The resulting sequence of the common restriction fragment can be used for the preparation of specific primers and oligonucleotide hybridization probes for identification of Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophages and/or prophages belonging to the bacteriophage species 3A.

Abstract
The optimum separation conditions of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products have been found for high-speed capillary electrophoresis (CE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection. DNA fragments obtained after PCR amplification of the region covering the (CA)18 microsatellite repeat in nitron 5 of the gene for FcERIbeta, a high affinity glycoprotein receptor for IgE, located on chromosome 11 (11q13), were analyzed with the aim of investigating the repeat polymorphism. The results of polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis (PAGE), agarose gel electrophoresis, CE with absorbance detector and CE with LIF are compared. The CE with LIF proved to shorten analysis time by a factor of 100 when compared to slab gel electrophoresis. CE-LIF utilizes a short capillary with an effective length of 6.3 cm and electric field strength from 100 to 550 V/cm. The respective PCR products of sizes from 116 to 210 base pairs (bp) were analyzed in 3 min.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis has been under development for DNA sequencing since 1990. This development has traveled down two parallel tracks. The first track studied the details of DNA separation by gel electrophoresis. Early work stressed rapid separations at high electric fields, which reached the extreme of a 3.5 min sequencing run at 1200 V/cm. While fast separations are useful in clinical resequencing applications for mutation detection, long read-length is important in genomic sequencing. Unfortunately, sequence read-length degrades as electric field and sequencing speed increases; this tradeoff between read-length and sequencing speed appears to be a fundamental result of the physics of DNA separations in a polymer. The longest sequence sequencing read-lengths have been obtained at modest electric fields, high temperature, and with low concentration noncrosslinked polymers. In parallel with our understanding of DNA separations, the second track of DNA sequencing development considered the design of large-scale capillary instruments, wherein hundreds of DNA samples can be sequenced in parallel. Real-world application of these very high throughput capillary electrophoresis systems will require significant investment in sample preparation technology.

Abstract
Recent developments in capillary electrophoresis with fluorescence detection are reviewed. Instrumental advances have led to increased sensitivity and, therefore, a growing number of applications. Capillary electrophoresis has been coupled with various techniques to achieve multi-dimensional separations. Other advances have focused on temporal resolution when sampling from biological environments, increased sample throughput especially for DNA analysis, and fast separation times. New technologies including chip and channel electrophoretic separations with fluorescence detection are also discussed.

Abstract
Restriction mapping is one of the essential steps in gene analysis and molecular biology studies. Slab gel electrophoresis is the traditional way to separate DNA fragments for restriction mapping. However, slab gel electrophoresis does not provide sufficient resolution as required in many mapping applications, and the use of radioisotopes in traditional mapping methods creates health hazards. In the present study, capillary electrophoresis coupled with laser-induced fluorescence detection and a modified partial digestion mapping procedure was developed to map DNA fragments. By using capillary electrophoresis, a restriction map of genomic lambda phage clone of human interleukin 5 receptor alpha chain (IL5R alpha) gene was constructed. The IL5R alpha gene was analyzed to have five XbaI enzyme cutting sites at locations 1370, 2290, 2950, 5430, and 9330. The system was further characterized by using pBluescript SK(+) phagemid DNA as a model. Using a sequence-derived map as a reference, the pBluescript SK(+) restriction map constructed by capillary electrophoresis had an accuracy greater than 90%.

The use of sensitive energy transfer primers facilitates four-color detection of the DNA sequencing fragments following excitation at a single laser wavelength (488 nm). This scanner collects fluorescence data from up to 25 capillaries in parallel. The resulting four-color image files are automatically reduced to four-color line plots, and a base-calling program (Sax) is used to call the sequence. The performance of this system for DNA sequencing is demonstrated by examining twelve different motifs of the hypervariable region I of human mitochondrial (mt) DNA obtained from a Sierra Leone population.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis with a replaceable linear polyacrylamide matrix operated at elevated column temperatures of 55 degrees and 60 degrees C was used to extend the separation of DNA sequencing fragments to lengths greater than 800 bases. A solid-state heater was employed to provide stable, uniform temperature control over a significant portion of the capillary. The polymer matrix, 3% w/v linear polyacrylamide in a denaturing buffer, was replaced in the capillary after each run. Using dye-labeled primers and Sequenase chemistry on an M13mp18 single-stranded template, four-color separations for the sequencing products were obtained, with read lengths in excess of 800 bases. This paper also briefly discusses the effects of buffer denaturants and capillary temperature on separation speed, resolution, and gel compression.

Abstract
The read length for DNA sequencing using capillary electrophoresis and replaceable linear polyacrylamide (LPA) solutions has been extended to more than 1000 bases with a run time of 80 min. This result was successfully achieved through the combined use of cycle sequencing with dye-labeled primers, improved matrix and separation conditions, and enhanced base-calling software. The influences of LPA molecular weight and concentration on separation were investigated. Additionally, the separation buffer, column temperature, and electric field were adjusted to increase the number of resolvable DNA fragments per run while maintaining an enhanced separation speed. Using low concentrations [2% (w/v)] of high molecular weight LPA polymers (> 5.5 x 10(6) Da), elevated column temperature (50 degrees C) and moderately high field (150 V/cm), rapid sequencing analysis for more than 1000 bases on a model ssM13mp18 template was obtained with 96.8% accuracy.

Abstract
The analysis of crude polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is often compromised due to the presence of a high concentration of salt. Salt interferes with the electrokinetic injection and induces localized heating within the column; hence, PCR products must be desalted or cleaned-up prior to CE analysis. A variety of commercial clean-up systems are available that have been traditionally used to prepare PCR products for cloning, sequencing and digestion with restriction enzymes. These systems were tested for their effectiveness in preparing PCR products for CE analysis and were evaluated based on CE resolution, salt removal, DNA recovery, processing time and cost. One particularly effective clean-up system, membrane dialysis, was automated using a robotic workstation.

Abstract
With capillary electrophoresis, buffer pH must be constant to achieve consistent migration times. Irreproducible separations have been attributed to pH changes due to water hydrolysis in the inlet/outlet vials. A method of measuring the pH of the electrolyte on-column is described that uses wavelength-resolved fluorescence detection. C.SNARF-1 is a fluorescent pH indicator that has a large change in fluorescence emission profile depending on pH. When it is incorporated into the running buffer, monitoring the pH-dependent emission spectra of the C.SNARF-1 allows column pH to be calculated. With reduced-volume outlet buffer vials in the nanoliter to low microliter range, significant changes in pH and column conductivity are measured during a single electrophoretic run, with pH fronts greater than 3 units passing a fixed point on the capillary over a several second period. These changes appear to be caused by reverse-migrating OH- produced at the capillary outlet by the hydrolysis of water.

Abstract
Rapid, high-resolution separation of DNA sequencing fragments by capillary gel electrophoresis using an automated, commercially available instrument is presented. The effect of column lengths and electric field strength on the resolution of sequencing fragments as well as the sensitivity of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection was investigated. Using a short capillary of 20 cm length, which results in a U-shape of the capillary in the capillary cartridge, very high separation efficiency, up to 17 x 10(6) theoretical plates per m, is obtained. Analysis of the band broadening factors revealed that the resolution on the short column is predominantly determined by axial diffusion and to a minor extent by detection zone width. Presumably due to the coiling of longer capillaries in the capillary cartridge, increasing the capillary length does not increase the separation efficiency as predicted for diffusion-limited separation. The concentration limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 2) is 0.2 x 10(-12) M of fluorescein-labeled oligonucleotide primer under the separating conditions for DNA sequencing samples. Increasing the electric field strength from 100 to 175 V/cm improved resolution and at the same time approximately doubled the sequencing speed. Fragments up to 500 nucleotides in length are resolved in less than 50 min.
