Sanger or Dideoxy DNA Sequencing Components for the Chain Termination Method: • DNA fragment for sequencing • Primers • dNTPs • ddNTPs
Sanger or Dideoxy DNA Sequencing What direction does the DNA polymerase elongate the DNA fragment?
Sanger or Dideoxy DNA Sequencing Migration smaller is faster through the gel (bottom smallest) Each peak represents 1 base
Pyrosequencing Based on DNA synthesis Template DNA is immobilized Peak area represents base number http://www.pyrosequencing.com/DynPage.aspx?id=7454
Pyrosequencing Potential Problem: DNA polymerase and luciferase compete for the same dATP substrate Solution: Deoxyadenosine alpha-thio triphosphate (dATPαS) is efficiently used by DNA polymerase but not recognized by luciferase
Pyrosequencing Requirement: Generate ATP from polymerase generated pyrophosphate Solution: ATP sulfurylase quantitatively converts PPi to ATP in the presence of adenosine 5´ phosphosulfate
Pyrosequencing Potential Problem: Unincorporated dNTPs can react in the next cycle producing false positives Solution: The nucleotide degrading enzyme apyrase degrades unincorporated dNTPs between cycles
Gene Amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Gene specific amplification without purification Amplification via temperature cycling Special Taq (Thermus aquaticus) DNA polymerase Detection of Helicobacter pylori, Borrelia burgdorferi, as well as hepatitis, HIV, and West Nile virus
Restriction Enzyme Recognition Sites Restrictive endonucleases recognize 4-8 bp sequences within the DNA and cleave at a specific site DNA strands that are cut in a symmetric fashion are palindromic Blunt and Sticky DNA Cuts
Molecular Cloning by Recombinant DNA Technology • Cut by restriction enzymes • Anneal an uncatalyzed reaction • Re-close by DNA ligase
