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.

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.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Ion Torrent and Ion Proton are semiconductor sequencing technologies known for speed and cost-effectiveness.
  • These technologies exhibit reduced accuracy in genomic regions with homopolymer repeats, hindering genetic variant identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for improving sequencing accuracy in homopolymer regions for semiconductor-based sequencing.
  • To enhance the efficiency of genetic variant identification in challenging genomic loci.

Main Methods:

  • A Bayesian inference-based method was developed.
  • The method utilizes signal distributions of electrical voltages measured for homopolymers.
  • It cross-references experimental voltage data with reference genome homopolymer lengths.

Main Results:

  • The proposed integrated model significantly improves alignment accuracy around homopolymer regions.
  • This leads to more reliable identification of genetic variants in challenging areas.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model enhances accuracy for semiconductor-based sequencing technologies like Ion Torrent and Ion Proton.
  • Similar strategies may be applicable to other high-throughput sequencing technologies with comparable limitations.
