Next-generation Sequencing

96.7K
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

11.3K
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:

  • Synthetic biology
  • Molecular biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Synthetic biology demands well-characterized genetic parts for designing complex biological systems.
  • Intrinsic terminators are crucial for controlling transcription termination, but more sequence-structure data is needed to optimize their design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid method for generating diverse terminator libraries.
  • To establish a high-throughput pipeline for quantifying terminator efficiency (TE).
  • To identify novel strong terminators for precise gene expression control.

Main Methods:

  • A single-pot method was used to create libraries of randomized bidirectional intrinsic terminators.
  • A modified quantitative Term-Seq (qTerm-Seq) was employed to identify sequences and measure their termination efficiencies simultaneously.
  • High-throughput screening was performed in Escherichia coli.

Main Results:

  • Hundreds of new strong terminators with termination efficiencies greater than 90% were identified.
  • Some terminators demonstrated the ability to reduce transcription read-through by up to 1000-fold.
  • The developed platform enables the identification of terminators with desired efficiencies and facilitates sequence-structure analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The terminator library and qTerm-Seq pipeline provide a flexible platform for discovering and characterizing genetic terminators.
  • This approach supports the rational design of termination-based genetic devices for various applications.
  • The findings advance the ability to engineer precise transcription control in synthetic biological systems.
