Next-generation Sequencing

99.3K
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

13.2K
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

12.2K
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...

Sanger Sequencing

775.7K
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...

Summary

Nanopore sequencing faces challenges with insertion-deletion (indel) errors. Replicated extrusion significantly improves accurate DNA sequence reconstruction, even for long reads, by mitigating these errors.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Nanopore sequencing offers high-throughput DNA analysis.
  • Insertion-deletion (indel) errors are a significant challenge in nanopore sequencing accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of indel errors on nanopore sequencing accuracy using information theory.
  • To determine the number of nanopore passes (replicated extrusion) needed for reliable sequence reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Information-theoretic analysis of indel error impact on sequence reconstruction probability.
  • Mathematical modeling of replicated extrusion for error correction in nanopore sequencing.

Main Results:

  • Accurate sequence reconstruction probability decreases exponentially with sequence length from a single nanopore pass.
  • Replicated extrusion effectively enhances reconstruction accuracy, requiring a polylogarithmic number of passes relative to sequence length.

Conclusions:

  • Single-pass nanopore sequencing is unreliable for long DNA sequences due to indel errors.
  • Replicated extrusion is a viable strategy for achieving high-accuracy, long-read nanopore sequencing.
