Sanger Sequencing

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

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.

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

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.

RNA-seq

RNA-seq

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...

Background:

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are crucial genetic markers for disease diagnosis.
Current SNP analysis methods face limitations in accuracy, sensitivity, and multiplexing capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel color code-based pyrosequencing method with di-base addition for SNP analysis.
To enhance SNP genotyping accuracy, sensitivity, and enable simultaneous detection of multiple SNPs.

Main Methods:

Utilized di-base addition during pyrosequencing to generate specific two-color codes representing nucleotide incorporation.
Developed sequence-specific di-base dispensation protocols to ensure accurate SNP site extension.
Validated the method using DNA templates with multiple SNPs (up to three) across various lengths.

Main Results:

Accurate sequencing of as few as 50 DNA template copies was achieved.
Increased signal production and read length per flow, enabling simultaneous SNP identification.
Successful genotyping of multiple SNPs in a single PCR/sequencing run using a single primer.

Conclusions:

The developed color code-based pyrosequencing with di-base addition is a powerful methodology for accurate SNP determination.
This technology has potential applications in clinical diagnostics and genetic research.
The method offers improved sensitivity, multiplexing, and efficiency for SNP analysis.
