Hi Alejandro,
I think this is not possible to accomplish directly. With DNA preps, the
molar concentration of the sequence the primer anneals to will be
inversely related to the genome size. That is, if the genome you
sequence from is 1 megabase, then you need 650 ug of DNA to give you a
picomole of it. The ABI 3730XL is pretty sensitive, but it is touch to
sequence directly from E. coli genomic DNA (~4 megabase genome). A
mammalian genome will be almost 1000 times the size of of the E. coli
genome.
Indirect methods should be possible, however. Even where you don't know
the sequence of all the DNA you intend to sequence, TAIL PCR can be used
(Genomics. 1995 Feb 10;25(3):674-81.)
Where you know the (approximate) sequence, you might be able to use even
simpler methods. Maybe you could put 2 primers in your sequencing mix,
but put one in at 1/100th or 1/1000th the concentration of the other. If
the primers flank the area you want to sequence, like normal PCR
primers, you would get PCR amplification occurring until the sequencing
reaction ran out of the low concentration primer. That might bring the
PCR product up to a concentration that would produce usable sequence.
That is pretty simple, so there are probably published protocols. Or you
could probably whip one up yourself in a week or so.
