Next-generation Sequencing

99.1K
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.

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

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...

Area of Science:

  • Spectroscopy and Nanotechnology
  • Molecular Biology and Genomics
  • Biophotonics and Optical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Current optical DNA sequencing relies on fluorescent labels, limiting throughput and requiring specific wavelengths.
  • Developing label-free optical DNA sequencing necessitates nanoscale light focusing, high-throughput multiplexed identification, and efficient data compression.
  • Identifying characteristic molecular vibrations in the ≈400–1400 cm-1 fingerprinting region is crucial for label-free optical spectroscopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a label-free optical DNA sequencing technique using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and multiplexed 3D plasmonic nanofocusing.
  • To identify the nucleotide content (A, T, G, C) within DNA k-mers as a block sequencing approach.
  • To explore the potential of combining complementary vibrational spectroscopy techniques for enhanced DNA characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with multiplexed 3D plasmonic nanofocusing for optical detection.
  • Applied nanoscale light focusing to achieve high-throughput, multiplexed identification of DNA components.
  • Developed a block optical sequencing technique to identify nucleotide composition within DNA k-mers.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated label-free identification of DNA nucleobases using SERS and plasmonic nanofocusing.
  • Showcased the capability to identify the A, T, G, and C content in DNA k-mers, enabling block sequencing.
  • Confirmed that nucleotide content in DNA blocks serves as a unique, high-throughput identifier for sequences and biomarkers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed block optical sequencing method provides a novel, high-throughput alternative to single-letter DNA sequencing.
  • This approach facilitates lossy genomic data compression through k-mer identification from multiplexed optical data acquisition.
  • The findings pave the way for advanced molecular diagnostics and genomic analysis with improved efficiency and reduced reliance on labels.
