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...

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...

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.

Fixing Double-strand Breaks

12.1K
The double-stranded structure of DNA has two major advantages. First, it serves as a safe repository of genetic information where one strand serves as the back-up in case the other strand is damaged. Second, the double-helical structure can be wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which can then be tightly wound to form chromosomes. This way, DNA chains up to 2 inches long can be contained within microscopic structures in a cell. A double-stranded break not only damages...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) involves fragmenting DNA and massive parallel sequencing.
  • Accurate genome assembly requires deep sequencing to mitigate errors.
  • Current NGS protocols assume random, sequence-independent DNA fragmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate sequence-dependent biases in DNA fragmentation methods used in NGS.
  • To analyze genomic reads to identify non-random fragmentation patterns.
  • To understand factors influencing non-uniform genome coverage in NGS data.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of genomic reads from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data.
  • Examination of DNA fragmentation patterns generated by hydrodynamic forces.
  • Comparison of fragmentation biases with previously observed sonication-induced biases.

Main Results:

  • Hydrodynamic fragmentation methods, similar to sonication, exhibit sequence-dependent biases.
  • The rates of double-stranded DNA breaks are influenced by nucleotide sequence.
  • Non-random fragmentation leads to non-uniform coverage across genomic regions.

Conclusions:

  • The assumption of random DNA fragmentation in NGS is challenged by empirical evidence.
  • Sequence-dependent biases in fragmentation can affect genome-wide analysis.
  • Accounting for non-random fragmentation is crucial for accurate interpretation of NGS data.
