We provide a DNA sequencing method and a sequencing system where large numbers of sequence reads can be obtained in parallel by running traditional electrophoresis in a special format. Parallelization is obtained either through a 3-dimensional gel-cube or through bundled capillary tubes including fiber-optic tubes or other types of micro channels in a bundle or matrix format. Various ways of capturing sequence traces are provided. We also provide two distinct methods for preparing genomic DNA/cDNA fragments: one through universal primer site anchoring and amplification of single molecules, and the other through micro-array/bead oligomer extension and dye-terminator incorporation using target sequence specific primers. The invention can perform large-scale genomic sequencing including sequencing a complete human genome in one or a few runs.
