The present invention relates to a method for determining the sequence of a
nucleic acid molecule. Specifically, the present invention provides a method comprising: i. Providing a
nucleic acid molecule comprising a 5 '-region and a 3'-region wherein the 5 '-region and the 3'-region are covalently linked by a
nucleotide sequence that can bind to a primer wherein the 5 '-region and the 3'-region are covalently linked by a
nucleotide sequence that can bind to the primer, the base identity in one of the 5'region or the 3 'region and the base identity in the other region independently provide information about the base identity in the corresponding locus in the original
nucleic acid molecule wherein the molecule further comprises: a
linker located at the 5'end of the molecule; a
linker located at the 3'end of the molecule; ii. Sequencing the molecule provided in step (i) using at least two different primers wherein the at least two different primers bind to at least three, preferably at least four, different regions of the
nucleic acid molecule provided in (i), wherein: 1. At least one of the primers is capable of binding at least partially to at least a portion of the
linker at the 5'end of said molecule for sequencing at least a portion of the 5 'region of the
nucleic acid molecule provided in (i); 2. At least one of the primers is capable of at least partially binding to a
nucleotide sequence region covalently linking the 5'region and the 3 'region of the
nucleic acid molecule provided in (i) to sequence the 3' region of the nucleic
acid molecule provided in (i); 3. At least one of the primers is capable of binding at least partially to at least a portion of the linker at the 3'end of the molecule to sequence at least a portion of the 3 'region of the nucleic
acid molecule provided in (i); and / or 4. At least one of the primers is capable of at least partially binding to a region covalently linked to the 5'region and the 3 'region of the nucleic
acid molecule provided in a to sequence the 5' region of the nucleic acid molecule provided in (i).
