DNA Sequencing Flashcards

1
Q

overview of Illumina sequencing

A

sample preparation: sample extracted and purified for the next stage in the process

library preparation: prepares the sample for sequencing by adding special adapters that are recognized by the sequencer

sequencing: reads the sequence of the sample and creates the raw data

analysis: analysis of sequencing data has three stages: primary, secondary analysis and interpretation

Q

cluster generation

A

hybridize fragment and extend
- single-stranded DNA libraries are hybridized to primer lawn
- bound libraries are then extended by polymerases

denature dbl-stranded DNA
- dbl stranded molecule is denatured
- original template washed away
- newly synthesized strand is covalently attached to flow cell surface

Q

what happens in bridge amplification?

A

ss molecule flips over and forms a bridge by hybridizing to adjacent, complementary primer (P5 flips over to P7 and P7 starts synthesizing)

hybridized primer extends by polymerases

dbl sranded bridge formed then …

dbl stranded bridge is denatured = copies of covalently bound single-stranded templates

then bridge amplification starts again as ss molecules flip or to hybridize adjacent primers; hybridized primers extends by polymerase = multiple bridges formed

Q

define pyrosequencing

A
  • based on sequencing by synthesis principle
  • stepwise synthesis of DNA by the addition of dNTPs
  • a light signal when a dNTP is added
  • generating chain of DNA by sequencing processes just like Sanger
  • difference is = no fluorophore; we are generating light every time we add nucleotide; chemiluminescent (inert chemical oxidized and then chemical rxn generates light)!!

Q

this represents the most common method of sequencing DNA

A

dideoxynucleotide sequencing
- least expensive and easy to do
- using ddNTPs = attach to 3’ ribose; have a hydrogen atom attached to 3’ rather than an OH group

19
Q

these molecules terminate DNA chain elongation because they cannot form a phosphodiester bond with the next deoxyribonucleotide

A

dideoxyribonucleotides

20
Q

dye terminator chemistry

A
  • each of 4 dideoxynucleotides is tagged with a different fluorescent dye
  • one reaction is performed
    > contains the DNA polymerase, primer nucleotides, and all four dye-labeled dideoxynucleotides
  • products = injected into a single capillary
21
Q

nucleotides colours

A

C = blue
T = red
G = black
A = green

22
Q

template DNA components

A

mixed with labeled dideoxynucleotides and regular nucleotides

23
Q

Sanger Sequencing Workflow

A
  • extraction of DNA (PURE)
  • amplification of DNA fragment to be sequences (PCR)
  • sample preparation (removal of PCR reagent, quantitation of DNA)
  • Sanger sequencing reaction
  • clean up sequencing of reaction - removal of primer, dNTPs, ddNTPs
  • capillary electrophoresis
  • data analysis
24
Q

Sanger sequencing denaturation

A

sequencing reaction started by heating the mixture, which causes the 2 complementary strands of the DNA template to separate

25
Q

Sanger Sequencing Annealing

A

sequence of newly created copy of the template DNA is complementary to the original DNA template

26
Q

Sanger Sequencing Extension

A

in the last step, the temperature is raised so that the enzyme can bind to the DNA and create a copy of the template

27
Q

Sanger sequencing - chain termination

A

while making a copy of the DNA template, the enzyme incorporates both nucleotides and the fluorescently tagged dideoxynucleotides
however, whenever a ddNTP is incorporated, the reaction is terminated

NOTE: ddNTP can be incorporated at any position so each strand can be terminated at any position
since there are billions of copies of DNA template, there will be a mixture of strands at many different lengths

28
Q

capillary electrophoresis

A
  • after Sanger sequencing
  • injected DNA molecules are separated through array according to size (smaller fragments are faster)
  • flowable polymer minimizes electroendosmosis
  • DNA migrates from cathode to anode
  • DNA fragments labeled with fluorophores by PCR
  • after electrophoresis = analysis
29
Q

what happened if no signal shows up on the electropherogram?

A

insufficient template
thermal cycler malfunction
loss of product during clean up
reagents not added or deteriorated

30
Q

what happened if there are low signals on the electropheogram?

A

insufficient sample volume
failed injection
old buffer
broken or blocked capillary

31
Q

what happened if there are large peaks or blobs in the first 120 bases

A

poor clean up of sequencing rxn
- precise location of the blobs varies according to the dye used and the specific configuration

32
Q

what happened if there are shoulders on all peaks of the electropherogram ?

A

capillary array needs to be replaced
overloaded sample

homopolymeric region in sample or STUTTER

33
Q

what happened if there are double peaks at the beginning of the sequence on the electropherogram?

A

seen when a PCR product is used for sequencing

more than one PCR product is present in the rxn

34
Q

summary of Sanger sequencing

A
  1. primer annealing and chain extension
  2. ddNTP binding and chain termination
  3. fluorescently labelled DNA sample
  4. enzymatic clean-up of sequencing reactions
  5. capillary gel electrophoresis and fluorescence detection
  6. electropherogram generation and bioinformatics
35
Q

how many primers does pyrosequencing have?

A

3,
one on 5’ and another at 3’(biotinylated) = PCR primers ???

sequencing primer is downstream of forward primer

36
Q

pyrosequencing steps

A

isolate DNA then PCR w two primers

  1. run PCR w one of the primers biotinylated
  2. immobilize biotinylated PCR producys onto streptavidin coated beads

A

pyrosequencing

40
Q

describe th pyrosequencing rxn

A

step 1:
- generation of light after nucleotide addition (release pyrophosphate or PPi)

step 2:
- PPi used to generate ATP from adenosine phosphosulfate (APS)
- ATP and luciferase generate light by conversion of luciferin -> oxyluciferin (luminometer)

step 3:
- system regenerated with apyrase that degrades residual free dNTP & dATP

41
Q

what is pyrosequencing used for?

A

most useful for short-to-moderate sequence analysis
> mutation or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection

  • commonly used for infectious disease and HLA typing
  • use for bisulfite sequencing
42

A

a modification of chain termination sequencing designed to detect methylated nucleotides

44

A
  • gene expression regulation
  • chromatin structure regulation
  • cell differentiation
  • implicated in a number of diseases, including several types of cancer
45
Q

Bisulfire DNA sequencing procedure

A
  1. cut genome with restriction enzymes
  2. run an agarose gel & fragments of interest are purified from the gel (DNA from fixed tissue can be used directly)
  3. DNA denatured by hear and exposed to bisulfite solution
  4. Bisulfite incubation = deamination of cytosines; turning them into uracils
    NOTE: 5-methyl cytosines are unchanged
  5. treated template is used for PCR amplification
  6. PCR amplicons are sequences
  7. methylated detected by comparing treated sequence with an untreated sequence, noting where the treated sequence CG base pairs are not changed to TA
