Genomics Flashcards
Craig venter
-major name in DNA sequencing
-shotgun sequencing to sequence random bits of DNA and let computers figure out how it all fits together
Sanger sequencing
-Based on DNA polymerase building complementary strands using mostly normal dNTPs and rare special dNTP that lack a 3OH and therefore cannot be elongated further
-ddNTP’s labelled using different lfuorphores
-Build DNA of different lengths
-Determine sequence based on identity of terminating residues
illumina sequencing
-chips generate mullions of clusters each representing many copies of a DNA molecule being sequenced
in illumina - reversibly terminated dNTPs used to
-insert one lable residue, and take an image
-unblock the 3’ end so you can add another residue adn repeat
-each round you get an image of what reisude at each cluser for that position
what can genome sequencing tell us
-what genes are absent and present and the sequence of each gene
-provides DNA blue print required for many studies
what gene are present/absent in the genome of genome sequencing further explanation
-metabolic capabilities of an organism
-virulence genes, antibitoic resistance genes
-unusual mutations that account for unusual phenotypes
-discover new genes that might be of medical interst
providing DNA blue print required for many studes and analysis further explanation in genome sequencing
-genetic appraoches
-transcriptomics -
-proteomics
-INseq
vampirovibrio chlorellavorus
-eats other bacterua
-functional and metabolic predictions are from genomics
metagenomics
-study of the complete genetic content of an environmental saple
-can provide info for organisms that cannot be cultures
-can tell us composition of microbial communities and how composition changes
-can also look at gene leave
transcriptomics
-RNA converted to DNA using reverse trasnciption which can be sequences using next generation methods
-can get a complete picture of the relative abundance of all the trasncripts in the cell under a given set of ocnditions
-one way this is used is comparing expression under different conditions
proteomics
-often relies on knowing the genomic DNA sequence but doesnt use DNA sequencing
-instead mass spectometry to identify protein and protein levels
-can tell you which proteins are present under which conditions
-can tell you whic protein itneract with a prtoein of interest
