Next-generation Sequencing

101.7K
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

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...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

RNA-seq

12.6K
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:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Pyrosequencing is a rapid DNA sequencing method valuable for typing organisms using single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • Analyzing multiple distant genomic regions for typing necessitates multiple individual Pyrosequencing reactions, increasing cost and labor.
  • Multiplex Pyrosequencing offers a solution by performing multiple sequencing reactions in a single assay.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a detailed protocol for multiplex Pyrosequencing.
  • To introduce novel software tools, mPSQed and MultiPSQ, for assay design and data analysis in multiplex Pyrosequencing.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of mPSQed software for multiplex Pyrosequencing assay design.
  • Utilization of MultiPSQ software for the analysis of multiplex Pyrosequencing data.
  • Implementation of a detailed protocol for performing multiplex Pyrosequencing reactions.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of a streamlined workflow for analyzing multiple genomic regions using multiplex Pyrosequencing.
  • Successful application of mPSQed for designing complex multiplex assays.
  • Effective use of MultiPSQ for accurate analysis of multiplex Pyrosequencing results.

Conclusions:

  • Multiplex Pyrosequencing, supported by mPSQed and MultiPSQ, provides an efficient and cost-effective alternative to single-region Pyrosequencing for organism typing.
  • The presented protocol and software facilitate the implementation of multiplex Pyrosequencing in research and diagnostics.
  • Careful assay design and data analysis are crucial for the successful application of multiplex Pyrosequencing.
