Sequencing by Hybridization in Few Rounds
نویسنده
چکیده
Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH) is a method for reconstructing an unknown DNA string based on substring queries: Using hybridization experiments, one can determine for each string in a given set of strings, whether the string appears in the target string, and use this information to reconstruct the target string. We study the problem when the queries are performed in rounds, where the queries in each round depend on the answers to the queries in the previous rounds. We give an algorithm that can reconstruct almost all strings of length n using 2 rounds with O(n log α n/ log α log α n) queries per round, and an algorithm that uses log∗ α n− Ω(1) rounds with O(n) queries per round, where α is the size of the alphabet. We also consider a variant of the problem in which for each substring query, the answer is whether the string appears once in the target, appears at least twice in the target, or does not appear in the target. For this problem, we give an algorithm that uses 3 rounds of O(n) queries. In all our algorithms, the lengths of the query strings are Θ(log α n). Our results improve the previous results of Margaritis and Skiena [17] and Frieze and Halldórsson [10].

Reconstructing Strings from Substrings in Rounds
We establish a variety of combinatorial bounds on the tradeoos inherent in reconstructing strings using few rounds of a given number of substring queries per round. These results lead us to propose a new approach to sequencing by hybridization (SBH), which uses interaction to dramatically reduce the number of oligonucleotides used for de novo sequencing of large DNA fragments, while preserving ...
متن کاملDNA sequencing by hybridization to microchip octa-and decanucleotides extended by stacked pentanucleotides.
The efficiency of sequencing by hybridization to an oligonucleotide microchip grows with an increase in the number and in the length of the oligonucleotides; however, such increases raise enormously the complexity of the microchip and decrease the accuracy of hybridization. We have been developing the technique of contiguous stacking hybridization (CSH) to circumvent these shortcomings. Stackin...
متن کاملSequencing by hybridization in the presence of hybridization errors.
DNA sequencing is a very important problem in genomics. Several different sequencing methods are currently utilized. One promising method uses a sequencing chip to obtain information about the presence of subsequences in DNA. This paper deals with sequencing of hybridization data from a sequencing chip, called Sequencing by Hybridization (SBH). Preparata et al. proposed a new sequencing chip us...
متن کاملHigh-throughput single-cell gene-expression profiling with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Image-based approaches to single-cell transcriptomics, in which RNA species are identified and counted in situ via imaging, have emerged as a powerful complement to single-cell methods based on RNA sequencing of dissociated cells. These image-based approaches naturally preserve the native spatial context of RNAs within a cell and the organization of cells within tissue, which are important for ...
