A Lot More Advanced Biotechnology Tools

Sequencing

AP Biology

Sanger method determine the base sequence of DNA based on replication dideoxynucleotides

ddATP, ddGTP, ddTTP, ddCTP missing O for bonding of next

nucleotide terminates the growing chain

DNA Sequencing

AP Biology

DNA Sequencing Sanger method

synthesize complementary DNA strand in vitro

in each tube: “normal” N-bases dideoxy N-bases

ddA, ddC, ddG, ddT

DNA polymerase primer buffers & salt

AP Biology

Reading the sequence Load gel with sequences from

ddA, ddT, ddC, ddG in separate lanes read lanes manually & carefully polyacrylamide gel

Fred Sanger1978 | 1980

This was his 2nd Nobel Prize!! 1st was in 1958 for the

structure of insulin

AP Biology

Advancements to sequencing Fluorescent tagging

no more radioactivity all 4 bases in 1 lane

each base a different color

Automated reading

AP Biology

Advancements to sequencing Fluorescent tagging sequence data Computer read & analyzed

AP Biology

Applied Biosystems, Inc (ABI) built an industry on these machines

Advancements to sequencing Capillary tube electrophoresis

no more pouring gels higher capacity & faster

384 lanes

Human Genome Project U.S government project

begun in 1990 estimated to be a 15 year project

DOE & NIH initiated by Jim Watson led by Francis Collins

goal was to sequence entire human genome 3 billion base pairs

Celera Genomics Craig Venter challenged gov’t would do it faster, cheaper private company

AP Biology

Different approaches

3. Assemble DNA sequence using overlapping sequences.

“map-based method”gov’t method

“shotgun method”Craig Venter’s method

1. Cut DNA entire chromosome into small fragments and clone.

2. Sequence each segment & arrange based on overlapping nucleotide sequences.

1. Cut DNA segment into fragments, arrange based on overlapping nucleotide sequences, and clone fragments.

2. Cut and clone into smaller fragments.

Maps of human genes… Where the genes are…

mapping genes & their mutant alleles

QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

Defining a gene…“Defining a gene is problematic because… one gene can code for several protein products, some genes code only for RNA, two genes can overlap, and there are many other complications.”

– Elizabeth Pennisi, Science 2003
