Study Notes

DNA Sequencing

  • The purpose of DNA sequencing is to determine the order of nucleotide bases (A, C, G, and T) that make up an organism's DNA.

Sanger DNA Sequencing

  • Sanger sequencing is the most commonly used DNA sequencing method today.
  • The principle behind the chain termination method of DNA sequencing is that dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) are incorporated into a growing DNA strand, terminating synthesis at random positions.
  • The components required for Sanger DNA sequencing include template DNA, primers, dNTPs, ddNTPs, and DNA polymerase.

Dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs)

  • The purpose of dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) in Sanger sequencing is to terminate DNA synthesis by blocking the further addition of nucleotides.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

  • NGS technologies are best for analyzing small numbers of gene targets and samples.
  • NGS enables the interrogation of hundreds to thousands of genes at one time in multiple samples.

Gold Standard Sequencing Technology

  • Sanger sequencing is considered the gold standard sequencing technology.

Successful Sequencing Experiment

  • Understanding the DNA sequencing technology, experimental design, and data analysis is required for a successful sequencing experiment.

Nucleotide Incorporation

  • The fluorescence signal is used to determine nucleotide incorporation during DNA synthesis in NGS technologies.
