DNA Sequencing Part 1 Flashcards
how to make a genomic library
- DNA isolated from cells
- restriction enzymes to cleave DNA or cleave from vector
- insert into recombinant plasmid
- transform bacteria
- grow transformed bacteria to make a genomic library containing all DNA fragments in the genome
Maxim-Gilbert Chemical sequencing
- does not involve DNA synthesis
- uses chemical treatment that breaks DNA chain after G, A+G, C+T, C
- different chemicals to get cleavage after different sites
- label fragments at 5’ end. separate out on gel
both Maxam-Gilbert and Sanger methods depend on
- separation of labeled DNA fragments by electrophoresis
- limits sequencing long stretches of DNA
Sanger sequencing
- need primer binding upstream of the region of interest
(template) - DNA polymerase will add on the complementary nucleotide
- to determine the exact sequence, the reaction can be stopped using terminators
- dideoxy sequencing or chain termination
Sanger Dideoxy Chain termination
- ssDNA, DNA pol, all ddNTP’s, labeled primer, template DNA
- 4 tubes containing all the components needed to polymerize DNA - adds a small amount of ddNTP to each tube
- each tube also contains one ddNTP at 1/100 the concentration of dNTPs
- these have no hydroxy at the 3’ end and thus another NTP cannot be added to them - chain terminators
when are smaller fragments produced
- when ddNTP added closer to primer
- chains are smaller and migrate faster
how to measure Sanger
- creates a pool of DNA sequences of different length all ending with that specific nucleotide
- terminates reaction at every A, T, G, and C nucleotide in each tube.
- run on 4 lanes and visualize
- shortest bands travel furthest
- will emit light at different wavelengths
- camera detects DNA
Depend on DNA synthesis
- Sanger
- Pyro
- Illumina
Depends on Chain termination
- Sanger
- Illumina
Depends on Eelctrophoresis of DNA fragments
- Maxam-Gilbert
- Sanger
Requires making genomic library in a cloning vector
- Maxam-gilbert
- sanger
NGS
- next generation sequencing
common features of NGS
- sample preparation
- sequencing machines - solid surface
- data output
key of NGS
- massively parallel sequencing reactions
- capable of analyzing millions, even billions of reactions at a time
All NGS platforms require
- a library
a library can be obtained by
- amplification
- ligation with custom linkers
each library amplified on a
- solid surface with covalently attached adapters that hybridize the library adapter
amplification followed by
- direct step-by-step detection of nucleotide base incorporated by each amplified library fragment set
