Trigger 9: Genomic technologies Flashcards
which is the oldest genomic technology
sanger sequencing (1977)
which is the newest genomic technology
single- molecular real time (SMRT) sequencing
name 6 forms of genomic technology
- high microscope - G-banded karyotype - Array- CGH - SNP- array - Exome sequencing - genome sequencing
what is G banded karyotype testing
a technique used in cytogenetics to produce a visible karyotype by staining condensed chromosomes.
resolution of G banded karyotype
5-10Mb
number of loci probed in G banded karyotype
around 500
how large do the variants have to be to be to be detected
over 5Mb
how many variants detected per person using G banded karyotype
0 to 1
diagnostic yield and incidental findings in G banded karyotype
low
Array CGH
has the ability to explore all 46 chromosomes in a single test and to detect any DNA imbalance including extra or missing chromosomes and loss or gain of chromosome material much more precisely than conventional chromosome analyses (e.g. G banded karyotype)
resolution of Array- CGH
50-100kb
number of loci probed in Array- CGH
0.05- 2 million
What sort of variants detected in Array- CGH
copy number variants
copy number variants
a phenomenon in which sections of the genome are repeated
variants per person in Array- CGH
10-100s
diagnostic yield and incidential findings in Array-CGH
medium ability
resolution of light miroscope
entirre genome
number of probed loci in ligh microscopy
N/A
variants detected in light microscopy
aneuploidy / polyploid
how many variants per person detected by ligh microspcy
0 to 1
diagostic yiled and incidental finding ability of lght microscopy
low!
outline the Array CGH process
- Patient and control DNA are labeled with fluorescent dyes and applied to the microarray
- patient and control DNA compete to attach to the microarray
- the microarray scanner measures the fluorescent signal
- computer softwar analyses the date and generated plot (e.g. can see where copy number variant is different
