Q

how is the addition of a base detected in 454 technology

A

if a nucleotide is added phosphate is released. In the presence of ASP and sulfurylase, ATP is released which can be used to make light and oxyluciferin

Q

what is the main issue with 454 technology

21
Q

what is the advantages of paired end indexed sequencing

A

-enables better coverage uniformity by allowing high receptive sequncinhg to be anchored by unique pair read
-insertion and deletion of event can be detected by searching for reads that have an unusual distance between their pairs.

Q

how does paired end indexed sequencing work

A

one ion the olgios on the floor cell is complementary to the

23
Q

How does 454 detect the light

A

Plate is coupled with a fibre optic chip. A CCD camera record the light

24
Q

What is the size of reads from Pacbio

A

Much bigger at 10kb to 20kb

25
Q

What are advantages of pacbio

A

Bigger read
Can span repeat regions to determine sequences and close up genomics

26
Q

What type of dna shearing does pac bio

A

Mechanical: sonofication or g tubules

27
Q

What is enzymatic shearing used for

A

Small dna sequences- if too big would cut too small

28
Q

How does sonificstion work

A

Fire ultra focused sound waves at different wavelengths at your dna which breaks it to the size you want

29
Q

What advantage does g tubule have over sonification and disadvantage

A

Cheaper but has lower throughput

30
Q

How do g tubules work

A

They fire DNA through a fine mesh in a centrifuge which breaks down DNA. How fast u spin changed the size of your DNA

31
Q

What is needed for sample prep after dna shearing in Pacbio

A

Smart bell formation
-fragment
- repair ends
-ligate adapters
- purify dna
- sequencing

32
Q

What are the two different sequencing modes in Pacbio and which is better

A

LS- long sequence reads
CCS- Hugh quality sequencing reads
CCS looks at shorter fragments but does multiple copies so can fix if error

33
Q

How does Pacbios way of adding fluoroflores differ to illumina

A

Uses triphospahte linked fluorophores to reduce steric hinderance which allows DNA pol to move quicker

34
Q

How does pacbio detect fluorescent signals

A

Zero mode wavelengths hold fluorescent signal and can detect base incorporated despite back ground of other nucleotides

35
Q

How does pacbio detect flourcence

A

Through zero model wave guides where a single c ocular dna and dna pop is. A laser excited the floourorphore and fluorescence is emitted and recorded

36
Q

What are the advantages of pac bio

A

Short waiting time
Long reads
Direct observations
No amplification required

37
Q

What is the advantages of oxo nanowire

A

Can sequence extra long reads
No amplification needed
Can use pcr but don’t have to
Can look at DNA and RNA

38
Q

What is the disadvantage of nanopore

A

It’s accuracy is in question
90-99%

39
Q

How does nanopore work

A

A current passes through the nanopore
When the bases come through they disrupt the ion flow and each base disrupts differently giving differnt reads

40
Q

What accuracy and error is a factor phred score of 20

A

99% and 1/100

41
Q

What accuracy and error rate is a phred score of 30

A

1/1000 and 99.9%

42
Q

What could cause a poor distribution per base quality

A

General degradation of quality over duration of long runs

43
Q

What do the different colours mean in the phred scores

A

Colder mean higher quality
Warmer mean Lower quality

44
Q

What causes low quality scores and what do u do

A

Imaging problems or technical problems
Need to remove it from down stream so isn’t patty of analysis

45
Q

How to tel if GC content is bad

A

There will be a sharp peak where there should be a smooth curve which suggests there could be confinement

46
Q

What might over representation indicate

A

Over resperenatation of a sequence indicates taht the libabry might be contaminated

47
Q

Why are there gaps in de novo assembly

A

Because of repetive sequences

48
Q

How is reference mapping done

A

Against a reference genome

49
Q

What does reference mapping do

A

Allows you to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions and deletions

50
Q

What programs do reference mapping

A

Bwa
Bowtie

51
Q

What program allows manual inspection of sequences and mapped reads

A

Artemis

52
Q

What is the difference between synomous snp and non synonyms snp

A

Synmous - no change to aa
Non synmous- change to aa

53
Q

What if the difference between missense and non sense snps

A

Missense- differnt as coded
Nonsense- results in premature stop codon

54
Q

What is trams

A

It’s a rapid annotation toon for annoattaion of microbial snp
Searches for multiple nucleotide polymorphisms
