DNA SEQUENCING - refers to sequencing methods for determining the order of the nucleotide bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine) MAXAM-GILBERT METHOD (1970, ALLAN M. MAXAM & WALTER GILBERT) – later SANGER METHOD (originally developed by FREDERICK SANGER, 1975) DNA – template used to create series of fragments (fragments differ by 1 base, separated by SIZE) CHROMOSOME – cut down into smaller fragments to make it feasible MANUAL DNA SEQUENCING – most specific and direct method for identifying genetic lesions/ mutations/ polymorphisms (affecting 1 or 2 nucleotides) (Types: SANGER METHOD / MAXAM-GILBERT METHOD) MAXAM-GILBER METHOD – chemical sequencing, requires a double- or single-stranded version of the DNA region to be sequenced with one end radioactively labeled (aliquoted into 4 tubes; with or w/o salt) 10% PIPERIDINE – strong reducing agent, breaks single- stranded DNA at specific nucleotides Tube 1 – DIMETHYLSULPHATE (breaks at G) Tube 2 – FORMIC ACID (breaks at G + A) Tube 3 – HYDRAZINE (breaks at T + C) Tube 4 – HYDRAZINE + SALT (breaks at C) BOTTOM (5’) to TOP (3’) – how sequence is read G + A and G = GUANINE G + A = ADENINE C + T and C = CYTOSINE C + T = THYMINE HYDRAZINE & PIPERIDINE – hazardous chemicals SANGER METHOD (DIDEOXY CHAIN TERMINATION SEQUENCING) – ( 19 77, FREDERICK SANGER & COLLEAGUES) widely used sequencing methods for 25 years after its discovery, required a single-stranded template. It is a modification of the DNA replication process. M13 BACTERIOPHAGE - a bacterial virus with a single stranded DNA genome DIDEOXYNUCLEOTIDE (ddNTP) - lack the hydroxyl group found on the 3′ ribose carbon of the deoxynucleotides (dNTPs). Newly synthesized chain will terminate with the ddNTP AUTOMATED FLUORESCENT SEQUENCING - uses double-stranded templates and cycle sequencing (cycle sequencing is more easily adaptable to high throughput applications and automation) Goal of both approaches is the same: to label the fragments synthesized during the sequencing reaction according to their terminal ddNTP DYE PRIMER SEQUENCING - Four different fluorescent dyes are attached to four separate aliquots of the prime. Primer labeled with each “color” is added to four separate reaction tubes, one each with ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, or ddTTP The products of the sequencing reaction are then labeled at the 5′ end, the dye color associated with the ddNTP at the end of the fragment DYE TERMINATOR SEQUENCING - performed with one of the 4 fluorescent dyes attached to each of the ddNTPs instead of to the primer.

DNA SEQUENCING - refers to sequencing methods for
determining the order of the nucleotide bases (adenine,
guanine, cytosine, and thymine)
MAXAM-GILBERT METHOD (1970, ALLAN M. MAXAM
& WALTER GILBERT)later SANGER METHOD
(originally developed by FREDERICK SANGER, 1975)
DNA – template used to create series of fragments
(fragments differ by 1 base, separated by SIZE)
CHROMOSOME – cut down into smaller fragments to
make it feasible
MANUAL DNA SEQUENCING – most specific and direct
method for identifying genetic lesions/ mutations/
polymorphisms (affecting 1 or 2 nucleotides) (Types:
SANGER METHOD / MAXAM-GILBERT METHOD)
MAXAM-GILBER METHOD – chemical sequencing,
requires a double- or single-stranded version of the DNA
region to be sequenced with one end radioactively
labeled (aliquoted into 4 tubes; with or w/o salt)
10% PIPERIDINE – strong reducing agent, breaks single-
stranded DNA at specific nucleotides
Tube 1 – DIMETHYLSULPHATE (breaks at G)
Tube 2 – FORMIC ACID (breaks at G + A)
Tube 3 – HYDRAZINE (breaks at T + C)
Tube 4 – HYDRAZINE + SALT (breaks at C)
BOTTOM (5’) to TOP (3’)how sequence is read
G + A and G = GUANINE
G + A = ADENINE
C + T and C = CYTOSINE
C + T = THYMINE
HYDRAZINE & PIPERIDINE – hazardous chemicals
SANGER METHOD (DIDEOXY CHAIN TERMINATION
SEQUENCING) – (1977, FREDERICK SANGER &
COLLEAGUES) widely used sequencing methods for 25
years after its discovery, required a single-stranded
template. It is a modification of the DNA replication
process.
M13 BACTERIOPHAGE - a bacterial virus with a single
stranded DNA genome
DIDEOXYNUCLEOTIDE (ddNTP) - lack the hydroxyl group
found on the 3′ ribose carbon of the deoxynucleotides
(dNTPs). Newly synthesized chain will terminate with
the ddNTP
AUTOMATED FLUORESCENT SEQUENCING - uses
double-stranded templates and cycle sequencing (cycle
sequencing is more easily adaptable to high throughput
applications and automation)
Goal of both approaches is the same: to label the
fragments synthesized during the sequencing reaction
according to their terminal ddNTP
DYE PRIMER SEQUENCING - Four different fluorescent
dyes are attached to four separate aliquots of the prime.
Primer labeled with each “color” is added to four
separate reaction tubes, one each with ddATP, ddCTP,
ddGTP, or ddTTP
The products of the sequencing reaction are then
labeled at the 5′ end, the dye color associated with the
ddNTP at the end of the fragment
DYE TERMINATOR SEQUENCING - performed with one
of the 4 fluorescent dyes attached to each of the
ddNTPs instead of to the primer.
Primer is unlabeled
All four sequencing reactions are performed in the same
tube (or well of a plate) instead of in four separate tubes
