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.
