Emerging technologies in DNA sequencing.

چکیده

Demand for DNA sequence information has never been greater, yet current Sanger technology is too costly, time consuming, and labor intensive to meet this ongoing demand. Applications span numerous research interests, including sequence variation studies, comparative genomics and evolution, forensics, and diagnostic and applied therapeutics. Several emerging technologies show promise of delivering next-generation solutions for fast and affordable genome sequencing. In this review article, the DNA polymerase-dependent strategies of Sanger sequencing, single nucleotide addition, and cyclic reversible termination are discussed to highlight recent advances and potential challenges these technologies face in their development for ultrafast DNA sequencing.

I-37: Establishing High Resolution Genomic Profiles of Single Cells Using Microarray and Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies

The nature and pace of genome mutation is largely unknown. Standard methods to investigate DNA-mutation rely on arraying or sequencing DNA from a population of cells, hence the genetic composition of individual cells is lost and de novo mutation in cell(s) is concealed within the bulk signal. We developed methods based on (SNP-) arraying and next-generation sequencing of single-cell whole-genom...

DNA polymerases drive DNA sequencing-by-synthesis technologies: both past and present

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized modern biological and biomedical research. The engines responsible for this innovation are DNA polymerases; they catalyze the biochemical reaction for deriving template sequence information. In fact, DNA polymerase has been a cornerstone of DNA sequencing from the very beginning. Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I proteolytic (Kle...

Rise of the Machines

Until recently, sequencing the entire genome of an organism was a major endeavor. New technologies are transforming this task into routine practice and launching a new assault on wholegenome sequencing. It is more than 30 years since Sir Fred Sanger and colleagues published their method for sequencing DNA [1]. This Nobel Prize–winning work formed the basis of the vast majority of subsequent seq...
