1. A method of determining the sequence of a nucleic acid, said method comprising:
- (a) preparing a reaction mixture corresponding to each base of said nucleic acid, wherein each of said reaction mixtures comprises a family of enzymatically produced capturable primer extension products produced by combining said nucleic acid, polymerase, deoxynucleotides, oligonucleotide primer and capturable dideoxy chain terminator in a reaction mixture under conditions sufficient to produce said capturable primer extension products, wherein said capturable dideoxy chain terminator comprises a capture moiety bonded to a dideoxynucleotide through a cleavable linking group.(b) contacting each of said reaction mixtures with a solid phase capable of capturing said primer extension products comprising said capturable chain terminator through interaction of said capture moiety with a moiety present on said solid phase and to produce solid phase captured primer extension products;
(c) separating said solid phase captured primer extension products from said reaction mixture;
(d) releasing said primer extension products from said solid phase;
(e) size separating and detecting said released primer extension products to produce sequencing data; and
(f) determining the sequence of said nucleic acid from said sequencing data.

Abstract
Methods of enzymatic nucleic acid sequencing are provided in which solid-phase capturable chain terminators are employed. In the subject methods, sequencing fragments are generated, where the fragments comprise capturable chain terminators. The fragments are then captured on a solid phase and separated from the remaining components of the sequencing reaction. The fragments are then released from the solid phase, size separated and detected to yield sequencing data from which the sequence of the nucleic acid is determined.
