Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

11.1K
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.

Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

753.7K
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...

DNA Microarrays02:34

DNA Microarrays

17.2K
Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Labeling DNA Probes03:31

Labeling DNA Probes

8.1K
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

88.3K
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....

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Epigenetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Transcription factors can bind to methylated DNA, potentially increasing binding specificity.
  • DNA methylation patterns are tissue-specific and offer additional regulatory information.
  • Bisulfite sequencing provides data to investigate DNA methylation phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for visualizing DNA methylation at transcription factor binding sites.
  • To extend sequence logo representations to include methylation data.
  • To analyze transcription factor binding preferences in relation to DNA methylation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed MethylSeqLogo, an extension of sequence logos incorporating DNA methylation and under-represented dimer information.
  • Considered DNA sequence context (CpG, etc.) and genomic region (promoter vs. whole genome).
  • Displayed information from both DNA strands and preserved sequence logo semantics.

Main Results:

  • Illustrated the utility of MethylSeqLogo with CpG binding transcription factors.
  • Identified transcription factors like MYC and ZBTB33 that bind unmethylated CpG sites.
  • Observed methylation-neutral binding for factors such as CEBPB.

Conclusions:

  • MethylSeqLogo enables exploration of bisulfite and ChIP sequencing data.
  • The software generates publication-quality figures for analyzing DNA methylation and transcription factor binding.
