Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

756.0K
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...

RNA-seq

10.3K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing

92.2K
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....

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel, high-throughput diagnostic method for repeat expansion diseases.
  • To improve the speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of genetic diagnostics for neurological conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized nanopore GridION sequencing with adaptive sampling for real-time target enrichment.
  • Developed a bioinformatics pipeline to prioritize disease-causing loci for analysis.
  • Analyzed 22 patients with neurological/neuromuscular diseases, including those with diagnosed and undiagnosed repeat expansion diseases.

Main Results:

  • Successfully confirmed expanded repeats in all 12 molecularly diagnosed patients with uniform coverage.
  • Identified inaccuracies in diagnoses made by conventional methods in two patients.
  • Demonstrated superior performance of the new method over conventional approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The developed long-read sequencing method offers a significant advancement in diagnosing repeat expansion diseases.
  • This approach enhances diagnostic capabilities for complex neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
  • The method provides a faster, more accurate, and comprehensive diagnostic solution.
