1. A method for sequencing a circular template nucleic acid comprising:

  • carrying out template dependent nucleic acid synthesis in a reaction mixture comprising a polymerase, a primer, nucleotides or nucleotide analogs, and a circular template nucleic acid under conditions which allow for identification of added nucleotides or nucleotide analogs during the synthesis, and repeatedly sequencing the circular template nucleic acid, wherein the circular template nucleic acid comprises both a double-stranded segment and one or more linking oligonucleotides that comprise at least one primer recognition sequence, wherein the one or more linking oligonucleotides form a connecting loop between a 3′

    end of one strand of the double stranded segment and a 5′

    end of another strand of the double stranded segment, and the primer is complementary to the at least one primer recognition sequence.
