Next-generation Sequencing

102.1K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Proofreading

10.0K
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore,  it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.7K
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...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.7K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

13.8K
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:

    • Genomics
    • Bioinformatics

    Background:

    • Paired-end sequencing often results in adapter-appended reads due to short DNA fragments.
    • Existing adapter removal methods may be insufficient for certain applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce PEAT, a novel algorithm for efficient and accurate adapter trimming in paired-end sequencing.
    • To provide a tool that does not require a priori adapter sequences, facilitating large-scale meta-analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the PEAT algorithm for paired-end adapter trimming.
    • Performance evaluation of PEAT against other trimming tools using simulated and real sequencing data.

    Main Results:

    • PEAT demonstrates high accuracy and speed in adapter trimming for paired-end sequencing data.
    • The study highlights the critical impact of adapter trimming on downstream analyses like RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and MNase-seq.
    • Guidelines for integrating adapter trimmers with aligners were proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • PEAT is readily integrable into standard paired-end sequencing workflows.
    • The PEAT software is accessible as free, downloadable binaries and source code.
