Sequencing DNA. Goal – obtain the string of bases that make a given DNA strand. Problem –Typically one cans sequence directly only DNA of short length (400-700 bp – Sanger; <200 - Illumina). Sequence assembly – the process of putting together the fragments.
In 1976-1977, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert developed a DNA sequencing method based on chemical modification of DNA and subsequent cleavage at specific bases. The method requires radioactive labeling at one end of the purified DNA fragment that needs to be sequenced.
Detecting DNA Base Modifications Using Single Molecule, Real-Time Sequencing. Introduction. Base modifications are important to the understanding of biological processes such as gene expression, host-pathogen interactions, DNA damage, and DNA repair1.
order or sequence of these bases determines what biological instructions are contained in a strand of DNA. For example, the sequence ATCGTT might instruct for blue eyes, while ATCGCT for brown. Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as gene. The size of a gene may vary greatly, ranging
• Single DNA molecule as a sequencing template. – Challenges include: • Keeping single molecules stable during insults of sequencing • Signal to noise ratio in base detection BUT • Avoid amplification biases – Pacific Biosciences, Oxford Nanopore, Helicos
the DNA sequence. Automated DNA sequencing using fluorescent/infrared primer or terminator labeling and a variety of detection systems, coupled with software-based sequence determination, has greatly improved the ease, speed, accuracy, and reliability of DNA sequencing. Manual DNA sequencing methods are still used in some smaller laborato-
Sequencing Methods and Terminology Sanger Sequencing. Sanger method (1977): labeled ddNTPs terminate DNA copying at random points. Gilbert method (1977): chemical method to cleave DNA at specific points (G, G+A, T+C, C). Both methods generate labeled fragments of varying lengths that are further electrophoresed.
