1. An aqueous nucleic acid sequencing gel consisting essentially of:
- [a] 2 to 10 wt % of one or more gelling polysaccharides selected from the group consisting of agarose, deacetylated konjac glucomannan, and hydroxyethyl curdlan;
[b] 2 to 95 wt % of one or more denaturing agents;
[c] 0 to 50 wt % of one or more non-gelling additives;
[d] 0.2 to 6 wt % of one or more electrophoretic buffers; and
[e] water sufficient to 100 wt %;
wherein the gel is capable of resolving nucleic acid fragments having at least 50 bases which differ from each other by at least one base.

Abstract
A nucleic acid sequencing gel comprising 2 to 10% of a gelling polysaccharide, preferably agarose; a denaturing agent, a non-gelling additive, preferably glycerol, and electrophoretic buffers. This composition is capable of resolving nucleic acid fragments having at least 50 bases and which differ from each other by at least one base.
