week 3 Flashcards
Process of Next gen sequencing 5 steps
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
What is PCR used for
Used to amplify single copy of few copies of segment of DNA
Can be used to investigate size of a Region od DNA or DNA sequence
Process of PCR 4 steps
98 to denature
47-72 to allow primers to anneal
68-72 to allow extension
Repeat getting exponential amplification
what is in solution of PCR
DNA, primers, free nucleotides, buffer
sanger Variants detected
Unknown mutationsincluding SNVsand small duplications
Sanger method 4 steps
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
size Sanger can go up to
The reaction primers can be extended by up to about 1,000 nucleotides,
Time to complete sanger
2-3 days
Pros of sanger- 2
variety of mutations detected, no special equipment needed
cons of sanger-3
Labor intensive
requires mutantDNAto be present at 20–25%-
cannot detect changes in exon
What is FISH
flourescence in situ hybridization
variants detected in FISH
Targetedgenecopy numberchanges and targeted SVs
Method of FISH 2 steps
Fluorescent probes are used to locategenesor sequences of interest on one or morechromosome
Fluorescence microscopy is used for detection
time to complete FISH
2-3 days
Pros of FISH
easly detectsgenecopy numberchanges and targeted SVs
cons of FISH
Requires paraffin-embedded tissue on unstained slides
Variants dectect in Exome sequencing
Substitutions, duplications, insertions, deletions, indels, andgenecopy numberchanges.
Method of exome sequencing
Hybridization capture of regions of interest,
NGS, GenomicDNAfragments are hybridized in solution to sequence-specific capture probes for all protein-coding exons throughout thegenome
