Maria-
We have had excellent results sequencing GC rich template using ABI's=20
dGTP
kit. For an example, please see my web site:
www.omrf.ouhsc.edu/OMRF/Core/DNASEQ/gc_rich.html

Sorry, I don't have advice for amplification.

We used the ABI's dGTP kit to sequence several DNA fragments with high=20
GC content (for example a row of 12 Cs) and we got the same result=20
