1. A method of determining a nucleotide sequence of a template nucleic acid segment, comprising:
- providing a contiguous nucleic acid molecule comprising a sense strand and an antisense strand of the template nucleic acid segment, wherein the sense strand and the antisense strand are complementary to each other, the sense strand and the antisense strand are completely contiguous;
sequencing both the sense and antisense strands in a polymerase mediated, template dependent sequencing process; and
determining a sequence of the template nucleic acid segment by comparing sequencing data from each of the sense and antisense strands.

Abstract
Compositions and methods for nucleic acid sequencing include template constructs that comprise double stranded portions in a partially or completely contiguous constructs, to provide for redundant sequence determination through one or both of sequencing sense and antisense strands, and iteratively sequencing the entire construct multiple times. Additional sequence components are also optionally included within such template constructs. Methods are also provided for the use and preparation of these constructs as well as sequencing compositions for their application.

9. A method of sequencing a template nucleic acid segment, comprising:
-
providing a template nucleic acid segment comprising; a sense nucleic acid strand and an antisense nucleic acid strand that are complementary to each other; a first connecting nucleic acid linking a 3′
end of the sense nucleic acid strand to a 5′
end of the antisense nucleic acid strand; anda second connecting nucleic acid linking a 5′
end of the sense nucleic acid strand to a 3′
end of the antisense nucleic acid strand;contacting the template nucleic acid segment with a primer sequence complementary to at least a portion of the template nucleic acid segment; monitoring a sequencing process of a template directed, polymerase mediated nucleic acid sequencing of the template nucleic acid segment, thereby determining nucleotide sequencing data from each of the sense and antisense nucleic acid strands of the template nucleic acid segment; and determining a sequence of the template nucleic acid segment by comparing said sequencing data from each of the sense and antisense nucleic acid strands. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
