Next-generation Sequencing

87.9K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Sanger Sequencing

800.8K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Applications of Molecular Taxonomy

705
Molecular taxonomy has revolutionized the understanding and classification of bacteria, providing precise insights into their diversity, evolutionary relationships, and ecological roles. By utilizing molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing and fingerprinting, researchers have made significant strides in various fields related to bacterial studies.Resolving Taxonomic AmbiguitiesMolecular taxonomy has been instrumental in distinguishing closely related bacterial species initially thought to...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

10.5K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Infectious viruses are highly mutable, making characterization of fittest variants crucial for understanding disease epidemiology.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables high-throughput study of viral diversity but introduces sequencing errors that can inflate diversity estimates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel computational approach for accurate viral genome reconstruction and quasispecies variant inference.
  • To improve the analysis of within-host viral diversity for clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a computational method incorporating base quality scores from NGS data.
  • Implemented simultaneous inference of viral genome sequences and the number of variants within a quasispecies.
  • Validated the approach using simulated data and clinical dengue virus samples.

Main Results:

  • The novel approach provides more accurate inference of the number of variants within a viral quasispecies compared to existing methods.
  • Sequence alignments generated by the new method exhibit lower error rates.
  • Demonstrated improved accuracy in mapping within-host viral diversity.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate inference of viral quasispecies composition aids in precise viral phenotype classification.
  • Understanding viral genomics is key for developing strategies to control infectious diseases and understanding host immunity.
