DNA Sequencing Flashcards
First Generation Sequencing Technologies
- Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing
- Sanger chain termination method
- Automated Sanger sequencing
labeling the 5’ end of DNA fragments followed by chemical cleaving at random sites
Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing
enzymatic termination of DNA synthesis using dideoxynucleotides
Sanger method
Automated Sanger technology method
- reaction mixture (primers and DNA template, dNTPs, ddNTPs with fluorochromes, DNA pol)
- primer elongation and chain termination
- capillary gel electrophoresis
- laser detection
- computational sequence analysis
Second Generation Sequencing Technologies
- 454 (pyrosequencing)
- Illumina sequencing
- SOLiD (sequencing by oligonucleotide ligation and detection)
- Ion Torrent Technology
T or F: All NGS platforms require a library obtained either by amplification or ligation with custom linkers.
True
454 sequencing technology
it uses the sequencing-by-synthesis principle where a pyrophosphate is detected by chemiluminescence everytime a dNTP is incorporated
Illumina sequencing technology
it uses a sequencing-by-synthesis principle by measuring the fluorophores released by reversible terminators
Illumina sequencing technology method (video)
- sample prep
- cluster generation
- sequencing by synthesis
- data analysis
SOLiD
sequencing by oligonucleotide ligation and detection
DNA is sheared, and amplified, and 3’ end is modified to allow covalent binding to slide
SOLiD
ion torrent technology
everytime an ion is released upon incorporation of a nucleotide, the change in pH from the charge of the ion is detected through an ion sensor
3 advantages of NGS techs
- no electrophoresis
- no cloning
- massively parallel sequencing
applications of NGS techs (4)
- personal genomics
- gene expression
- SNP analysis
- metagenomics
Third Generation Sequencing Technologies
- PacBio Sequencing
- Oxford Nanopore Sequencing
