6.3 Manipulating Genomes Flashcards
What did Fred Sanger do in terms of DNA sequencing? Using?
-Formed one way to sequence DNA using a single strand
-using nucleotides, DNA polymerase and electrophoresis.
First step in Fred Sanger DNA sequencing? 📍
- Find location of desired gene on DNA strand.
Second step in Fred Sanger DNA sequencing? ⛓️
- break the single stand of DNA
Third step in Fred Sanger DNA sequencing? 👈🏾
- Insert broken DNA to plasmid DNA.
Fourth step in Fred Sanger DNA sequencing? 🦠
Then 😢😷 I?
- Insert recombinant plasmid DNA into bacteria and allow it to replicate.
- Then Isolate recombinant plasmid DNA to be sent to sequencing.
What is the 4 things that need to be added to DNA sequencing plate? P,B,T,P
-DNA Polymerase
-Free DNA bases
-Terminator base
- DNA primer
What temperatures are involved in sequencing in order? 4
96, 50, 60, 96
What happens at 96 degrees?
-when does it happen throughout sequencing?
The 2 strand DNA separates into 1 strand
-happen at beginning
-happened at end when separating the new stand of DNA from template original recombinant plasmid DNA stand.
What happened at 50 degres?
- Primer binds to plasmid on the recombinant plasmid DNA strand.
What happens at 60 degrees in DNA sequencing?
-DNA Polymerase binds the free bases to match DNA template. DNA polymerase is removed.
How are terminator bases modified?
- Modified with coloured fluorescent tags
Why does the process repeat?
To get different lengths of DNA fragments.
In electrophoresis, how is DNA pulled through capillary tube gel?
-charge
DNA is negatively charge an electric current is added and DNA moves through gel.
And electrophoresis, what is at the end of the capillary tube that allows us to know og DNA sequence?
-there is a laser that detect determinator base and record the colour of the base.
What does the colour in electrophoresis DNA sequencing (laser) tell us?
-they relate to the base letter. Therefore, we are able to know the sequence of DNA.
