Next-generation Sequencing

101.0K
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

778.3K
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...

RNA-seq

12.5K
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:

  • Virology
  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Molecular surveillance is crucial for monitoring HIV diversity and identifying emerging strains.
  • Accurate characterization of the full viral genome is essential for effective HIV tracking and control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a universal library preparation method for next-generation sequencing (NGS) to enable full genome characterization of all HIV-1 groups and HIV-2.
  • To optimize and validate the HIV-SMART method for direct sequencing from clinical specimens, such as plasma.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the HIV-SMART (switching mechanism at 5' end of RNA transcript) library preparation method utilizing HIV-directed priming.
  • Application of HIV-SMART to diverse cell-cultured virus isolates and HIV-1 non-subtype B-infected clinical specimens from Cameroon.
  • Optimization for multiplexing libraries and sequencing directly from plasma using Illumina MiSeq platform.

Main Results:

  • The HIV-SMART method achieved full genome coverage for all HIV-1 groups and HIV-2.
  • Routine full genome sequencing with a median depth of ~2,000× was obtained when multiplexing 8 or more libraries.
  • The method demonstrated reproducibility, accurately identified viral sequence heterogeneity, and enabled strain classification at viral loads as low as 4.5 log copies/ml.

Conclusions:

  • HIV-SMART provides a powerful tool for identifying diverse HIV strains directly from patient specimens.
  • This universal NGS approach facilitates accurate phylogenetic classification based on the entire viral genome.
  • The adaptable technology holds significant potential for viral characterization and global surveillance of RNA viruses.
