Sequenced GenomesSequenced Genomes Over the past two years large-scale sequencing of
eukaryotic genomes has become a reality Currently the sequencing of at least 4 multicelled
eukaryotic genomes has been completed: 1998 Caenorhabditis elegans - 8 x 107 bp - A
nematode worm 2000 Homo sapiens - 3 x 109 bp - Humans 2000 Arabidopsis thaliana - 1.15 x 108 - A plant
related to mustard 2000 Drosophila melanogaster - 1.65 x 108 bp -
Fruit flies

New TechnologyNew Technology Rapid sequencing of large complex genomes
has been made possible by: Foundational work done over many years
and… Dramatic improvement in DNA sequencing
technology over the past few years In this presentation we will look at both the
basic principles of DNA sequencing and how techniques have been refined to yield the dramatic results we now see

DideoxynucleotidesDideoxynucleotides DNA Sequencing using the Sanger
method involves the use of 2’3’-dideoxynucleotide triphosphates in addition to regular 2’-deoxynucleotide triphosphates
Because 2’3’-dideoxynucleotide triphosphates lack a 3’ hydroxyl group, and DNA polymerization occurs only in the 3’ direction, once 2’3’-dideoxynucleotide triphosphates are incorporated, primer extension stops

DNA SequencingDNA Sequencing In DNA sequencing reactions all the basic components needed to replicate
DNA are used 4 reactions are set up, each containing:
– DNA Polymerase– Primer– Template to be sequenced– dNTPs– A small amount of one ddNTP
ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, ddTTP
As incorporation of ddNTPs terminates DNA replication, a series of fragments is produced all terminating with the ddNTP that was added to each reaction

DNA SequencingDNA Sequencing Products from 4 reactions each
containing a small amount of a dideoxynucleotide are loaded onto a gel
Polyacrlyamide gels capable of separating fragments differing in size by only one base
High concentrations of urea are used to prevent formation of double-stranded DNA or secondary structures
Because polymerization goes 5’ to 3’ shortest fragments are 5’ compared to longer fragments which are in the 3’ direction

To read the autorad it is important to start at the bottom and work up so that it is read in the 5’ to 3’ direction
