3: DNA Sequencing Techniques (MIDTERMS) Flashcards
These two methods in sequencing DNA became the basis of more sophisticated DNA techniques
Sanger and Maxam-Gilbert Technique
What are the three DNA sequencing discussed?
- Sanger Technique
- Maxam-Gilbert Technique
- Next Generation Technique
Technique made during the mid 1970’s
a. Sanger Technique
b. Maxam-Gilbert Technqiue
c. Both
d. NOTA
c. Both
Process of determining sequence of nucleotide bases
DNA Sequencing
How are nucleotides identified?
Based on the bases of their structures
Use this card to familiarize the process of DNA sequencing
- Break down DNA to smaller pieces
- The smaller pieces will be sequenced one at a time
- That portion of DNA will assemble the sequence into a single continuous order of nucleotide
T or F
Portion of DNA will assemble the sequence into a single continuous order of nucleotide to produce a sequence of genome

What DNA sequencing technique:
→ PCR-based method
→ Modified DNA replication method
→ Growing chains are terminated by dideoxynucleotides/ddNTPs
Sanger Technique: chain termination method
What are the five requirements in Sanger Technique?
- DNA primer
- DNA polymerase
- dNTP
- four ddNTPs
- Template DNA
Sanger Technique:
What is the 1st step?
DNA Denaturation
Sanger Technique:
What is the 2nd step after denaturation?
Aliquot to 4 tubes
Sanger Technique:
What is the 3rd step after aliquoting to 4 tubes
Incorporate reagents: Primer, dNTP, DNA Polymerase
Sanger Technique:
What are the reagents added before ddNTPs?
Template ssDNA, Primer, dNTP, DNA Polymerase
Sanger Technique:
After incorporating reagents, what should be added to the 4 tubes?
Four dideoxynucleotides or ddNTPs in each tube
Sanger Technique:
T or F
In adding ddNTPS in tube, 2 ddNTPS should be added per tube
F (1 specific ddNTP should be added per tube; example: Tube 1 - ddATP → Tube 2 - ddTTP)
Sanger Technique:
What is the last step after adding ddNTP?
Gel electrophoresis
How is the gel electrophoresis product of Sanger technique read?
BOTTOM to TOP and individually (tama nman khit sa kama rin eme)
Sanger Technique:
In gel electrophoresis, DNA fragments move from?
negative to positive pole
Sanger Technique:
T or F
DNA fragments move from negative to positive pole because of the base backbone
F (PHOSPHATE backbone which is negative charged)
Sanger Technique: Identify what size of fragment
→ Migrate at the bottom
→ lighter
→ Read first
Shorter fragments
Sanger Technique: Identify what size of fragment
→ Migrate at the top
→ Heavier
Longer fragments
Sanger Technique:
Migrate at the bottom and is read first
a. Longer fragments
b. Shorter fragments
c. both
d. NOTA
b. Shorter fragments
Sanger Technique:
After gel electrophoresis, what is the product formed?
Complementary strand
→ Has OH on 3’ carbon
→ Allows attachment of nucleotides
→ Has more concentration
dNTP
→ Lacks OH on the 3’ carbon
→ Terminates synthesis of new strands
→ Fluoresce
→ Added in chain randomly
→ complementary to target DNA
ddNTP
