Next-generation Sequencing

92.3K
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.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Sanger Sequencing

756.3K
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...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.4K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Solid-state nanopores/nanogaps are crucial for rapid DNA nucleotide detection.
  • Reducing noise during DNA nucleobase translocation is key for single-nucleobase resolution in DNA sequencing.
  • Graphene pore reactivity causes clogging and irreversible pore closure, hindering nanogap/nanopore applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the performance of functionalized closed-end cap armchair carbon nanotube (CNT) nanogap-embedded electrodes for DNA sequencing.
  • To explore the potential of N/O-H⋯π interactions between functionalized CNTs and DNA nucleotides.
  • To assess the impact of purine and pyrimidine functionalization on CNT nanogaps for controlled DNA translocation.

Main Methods:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
  • Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) simulations.
  • Modeling of single-stranded DNA translocation across functionalized CNT nanogaps.

Main Results:

  • Functionalized CNT nanogaps enhance electronic coupling and stabilize translocating DNA nucleobases.
  • Weak hydrogen bonds formed between probe molecules and DNA nucleobases reduce signal noise.
  • The modeled setup achieved current traces differing by at least one order of magnitude for all four DNA nucleotides, indicating potential for reliable sequencing.

Conclusions:

  • Functionalized armchair CNT (6,6) nanogap-embedded electrodes show promise for controlled DNA sequencing.
  • This approach can improve the yield and reliability of DNA sequencing by reducing noise.
  • The study highlights the potential of tailored carbon nanostructures for advanced biosensing applications.
