DNA Sequencing
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid )
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.
DNA is a nucleic acid; alongside proteins and carbohydrates, nucleic acids compose the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life.
Two Strands
Double Helix
DNA Sequencing
DNA sequencing is the process of determining the precise order of nucleotides within a DNA molecule. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine—in a strand of DNA.
The first DNA sequences were obtained in the early 1970s by academic researchers using laborious methods based on two-dimensional chromatography.
Basic Methods
Maxam-Gilbert sequencing
Chain-termination methods(Sanger sequencing)
Sanger sequencing
Sanger sequencing is a DNA sequencing method in which target DNA is denatured and annealed to an oligonucleotide primer, which is then extended by DNA polymerase using a mixture of deoxynucleotide triphosphates (normal dNTPs) and chain-terminating dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddNTPs).
Sanger sequencing
Developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977.
It was the most widely used sequencing method for approximately 25 years.
