Illumina sequencing

A sequencing method that determines the sequence of DNA by adding fluorescently labeled nucleotides one at a time during synthesis.

Sequencing by synthesis

The principle that underlies Illumina sequencing, where the sequence is determined by adding nucleotides one at a time during synthesis.

High accuracy in base calling

A key advantage of Illumina sequencing, resulting from its method of adding nucleotides and analyzing the fluorescent signals, leading to highly reliable base calls.

Decreased sequencing quality towards the end

A limitation of Illumina sequencing, as the sequencing quality often decreases towards the end of the sequence due to factors like decreasing signal strength.

Study Notes

Illumina Sequencing Principle

  • Illumina sequencing is based on sequencing by synthesis (SBS) technology.
  • It involves adding fluorescently labeled nucleotides one at a time during each cycle, which allows for the simultaneous detection of incorporated nucleotides.

Advantages and Disadvantages

  • Advantage: high accuracy in base calling.
  • Disadvantage: limitations in reading long repetitive regions.

Illumina Sequencing Process

  • Cluster generation: involves amplifying DNA fragments to create clonal clusters.
  • The role of fluorescently labeled nucleotides: to detect the incorporated nucleotides.
  • The function of bioinformatics tools: to analyze the vast amount of data generated during sequencing.

Sanger Sequencing

Primer Annealing

  • Purpose: to bind the primer to the target DNA sequence.

Chain Terminating Nucleotides

  • Role: to stop the DNA synthesis reaction at a specific point, allowing for the determination of the DNA sequence.

DNA Polymerase

  • Function: to synthesize new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the primer.

DNA Denaturation

  • Purpose: to separate the double-stranded DNA into single strands, allowing for primer annealing and DNA synthesis.
  • What happens: the double-stranded DNA is melted into single strands.

Fragment Separation

  • Method: capillary electrophoresis is used to separate the resulting fragments based on their size.

DNA Primer

  • Key role: to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis, binding to the target DNA sequence.
