Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

772.9K
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...

Next-generation Sequencing

97.6K
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

11.7K
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...

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing01:05

Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing

12.6K
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.

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.8K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

DNA as a Genetic Template02:05

DNA as a Genetic Template

27.3K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Data Storage
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • DNA is a promising medium for archival storage due to its high density, durability, and sustainability.
  • Current DNA data storage relies on sequencing technologies and deep learning models (basecallers) developed for life sciences, which are computationally intensive and not optimized for controlled data storage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the trade-offs between basecalling model size and read accuracy in DNA data storage.
  • To explore methods for optimizing basecalling models for DNA data storage applications, moving beyond life science paradigms.

Main Methods:

  • Studied the impact of basecalling model compression on read accuracy.
  • Investigated the use of error correcting codes embedded within DNA sequences.
  • Experimentally evaluated the joint application of model compression and error correction codes.

Main Results:

  • Model compression significantly reduces basecalling model size.
  • Loss in accuracy due to compression can be compensated by incorporating error correcting codes.
  • A marginal overhead is associated with error correcting codes.
  • Joint use of model compression and error correcting codes achieves higher read accuracy compared to using either method alone or neither.

Conclusions:

  • Departing from life science sequencing models is necessary for efficient DNA data storage.
  • Optimizing basecalling models through compression and error correction codes enhances read fidelity.
  • This combined approach enables more practical and accurate DNA data storage solutions.
