week 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Process of Next gen sequencing 5 steps

A

DNA must be broken into smaller sequences

split into two strands, denatured

Then hybridized to a surface, bead

Fragment then amplified by PCR

Left with cluster of DNA, then sequenced together with fluorescent nucleotides tat emit light of a certain colour so know what nucleotide is added

Q

Sanger method 4 steps

A

Sequencing primers hybridized to the PCR product

extended usingDNApolymerase, the four deoxynucleotides (dNTPs), and a mixture of fluorescently labeled dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs)

Random incorporation- termination of strands at each location along the sequence.

Capillary electrophoresis separates the strands by size

enables simultaneous detection of many variations in single assay

21
Q

cons of exome sequencing

A

expensive

22
Q

Variants detected by whole genome sequencing

A

Substitutions, duplications, insertions, deletions, indels,genecopy numberchanges, andchromosomeinversions and translocations

23
