Primer walking is a step-by-step approach to sequencing long DNA templates from end to end that overcomes the inability of the Sanger chain termination method to read more than a few hundred bases in a single reaction. After an initial round of sequencing from a known sequence at one end of the template, each subsequent round is initiated from a new primer, which is based on the end of the sequence obtained from the previous reaction.
