Q

Sanger Dideoxy Chain termination

A
  • 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

Q

A
  • shorter read length
20
Q

library construction and amplification

A
  • shear high molecule weight DNA with signification
  • polish ends to make blunt
  • ligate synthetic DNA adapters via PCR
  • produce size fractions via PCR
  • quantitate
  • amplify library fragments on flow cell surface using PCR
  • denature clusters to single-stranded
  • hybridize sequence primers to linearized ss cluster DNAs
  • proceed to sequencing or hybrid capture
21
Q

problem with little DNA in a clinical setting

A
  • polymerase errors problems early

- PCR amplify high/low GC content less well than 50% GC content

22
Q

hybrid capture

A
  • fragments from whole genome library are selecting by combining with probes that correspond to most human exons or gene targets
23
Q

probe DNAs

A
  • biotinylated

- selected with streptavidin magnetic beads to purify

24
Q

exome

A
  • exons of all genes annotated in the reference genome
25
Q

how hybrid capture works

A
  • target part of genome of interest
  • probes hybridize to exons
  • magnetic field to capture biotinylated DNA beads pull down hybridized fragments and get rid of rest of library
  • denature away DNA you want
  • library you’re sequencing is much reduced in complexity
26
Q

multiplex PCR amplification of Targets

A
  • if you want a very small subset of a genome
  • amplify genes of interest first
  • then make sequencing library
  • then sequence

  • light emission detected by a camera which records the appropriate sequences

  • incubating one base at a time
  • measuring the light emission
  • degrading unincorporated bases
