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...

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.

RNA-seq

9.4K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Forensic Science

Background:

  • A comprehensive human mitochondrial genome (mtGenome) reference database is crucial for forensic casework using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).
  • Developing complete mtGenome haplotypes to forensic standards is challenging and time-consuming.
  • There is a need for an automated, high-throughput Sanger sequencing method for producing quality mtGenome data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a robust Sanger sequencing strategy for generating forensic-quality complete human mtGenome haplotypes.
  • To facilitate high-volume production of mtGenome data for forensic applications.

Main Methods:

  • An 8-amplicon Sanger sequencing strategy was developed for automated processing.
  • The protocol was tested on diverse mtDNA haplogroups and varying DNA input quantities (50 pg to 1 ng).
  • The workflow was designed for robotic instrumentation to enhance throughput and minimize manual errors.

Main Results:

  • The strategy consistently produced complete, forensic-quality mtGenome haplotypes in the initial data generation.
  • The protocol demonstrated effectiveness across diverse mtDNA haplogroups and DNA input levels.
  • The automated workflow successfully increased throughput and reduced processing costs and errors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed strategy aids in generating complete mtGenome haplotypes meeting high forensic data quality standards.
  • High-quality data from this protocol can validate mtDNA data from emerging technologies.
  • The amplification strategy serves as a preparatory step for next-generation sequencing enrichment.
