Solid Sequencing Platform, Produced By Technologies/Applied Biosystems

944 Words4 Pages

The Solid sequencing platform, produced by Technologies/Applied Biosystems (ABI), performs sequencing by ligation method. Similar like the Roche 454 library preparation, genomic double strand DNA were sheared into small pieces and ligated with two types of adatptors P1 and P2 on two ends. One end with P1 adaptor binds onto the surface of the magnetic bead and emulsion PCR takes place to amplify single nucleotide fragment. Then the oil was washed out and four fluorescent labeled di-bases probes were added into the beads mixture. By matching the 1st and 2nd position of the template by di-base probes, fluorescence was detected and the extra tail with fluorescent probe is cleaved out. After multiple cycles of ligation, detection and tail cleavages, the extended chain reached the end of the template. Then the whole extension chain is removed and a new starting primer switching down 1 nucleotide position binds onto the template for another cycle of reaction. Totally, five round of primer binding cycles are performed to complete the sequencing of each fragment. 3. Pitfalls and limitations of NGS Errors could be introduced in any step of the sequencing process, including library …show more content…

However, if reference genome is not available, denovo assembly will be performed to combine the overlapped reads to longer pieces, called contigs. Two classic algorithms used for denovo assembly are overlap graphs and de brujin graphs (26). Assembly errors could be reduced by adjusting the parameters of denovo assembly, such as K-mer (word size), bubble size, length fraction and similarity fractions when mapping reads back to contigs. Highly repetitive sequences are another challenge for denovo assembly as genomic assembler cannot differentiate two reads with similar repetitive pattern (26). N50, maximum length and average coverage are also essential factors to be evaluated for assembly

Once the program was run, the machine began its thirty-five PCR cycles. Each step in these three step cycles is defined by a specific time span and temperature. However, before the first cycle begins, initial DNA denaturation occurred for five minutes at a temperature of 95 oC in order to ensure that all the DNA had become single-stranded. After this initial denaturation, the thirty-five PCR cycles could begin, first with thirty seconds of DNA denaturation at 95 oC, then followed by a drop of temperature to 58 oC for thirty seconds for the primers to anneal to its target sequence on the template DNA, and finally thirty seconds at 72 oC for primer extension in which DNA synthesis is carried out by Taq Polymerase. After the thirty-five cycles were complete, there was an additional five minutes at 72 oC for the final extension of the DNA to ensure that all synthesis had been completed.

Once we have the class DNA analysis gel band pattern results, we can then calculate the percent of each genotype in the student population. This will explain the phenotype data on tasters vs no-tasters. A single band above the position of the control ladder would be a homozygous recessive (tt), in which the phenotype is a non-taster of PTC. When there is one band below the control ladder, then it would be a homozygous dominate (TT), which is a taster of PTC. Two bands would be a heterozygous (Tt), which is also a taster of PTC.

The DNA is loaded into wells in the gel that are made when creating the gel. Since DNA is negatively charged it will repel the negative charge in the gel box, and move towards the positive end. This will separate the bands to make a pattern. Then the pattern created will be used to analyze other DNA samples to find the suspect. If every single band matches between 2 DNA well tests, that means that they came from the same person.

They apply different temperatures which results in melting of the DNA. After this process the double helix will separate and enzymatic replication will occur. Complementary primers are added resulting in multiplying of the sample. Therefore this is how Forensics investigators successfully tested the blood stain on the suspect jacket and they were able to say if Dobson was guilty for Stephen Lawrence death. DNA was first used in UK for an emigration case.

The STR length contrast is what is used to differentiate individuals. Gel electrophoresis then uses the STRs to create a DNA profile. The gel electrophoresis separates the STRs depending on their length and the pattern is then shown in fluorescent gel creating the profile. These profiles are then used by scientist to compare patterns between evidence and or suspects to determine a match or not a match.

DNA gyrase is an enzyme that catalyzes formations of negative supercoils that assist with the separation of the strands. Primase provides the need for a free 3’ hydroxyl group by being synthesized in the initiation sites. DNA ligase gets rid of any nicks by forming a covalent phosphodiester linkage form the 3’-hydroxyl and 5’-phosphate. Eukaryotes have longer chromosomes than prokaryotes and are linear rather than circular this is the reasons why the eukaryotic DNA replication have multiple origins scattered. The new strands formed
