DNA Sequencing

DNA sequencing
Biochemical process to determine of the order of nucleotide bases
Chemical degradation
(Maxam and Gilbert, 1977)

Enzymatic synthesis
Sanger Method (Sanger et al., 1977)

Generate sequences that begin at fixed point and terminate at a particular type of residue (A, T, G or C for Sanger Method)

DNA sequencing
Sanger method has served as the workhorse of DNA sequencing projects for the past 30 years
Human genome sequencing project >900 microbial genome sequences available Multiple genome sequences available for many foodborne pathogens
>20 genome sequences available for Listeria monocytogenes

DNA sequencing
Sequencing relies on DNA chain termination by dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddNTPs)

Cycle sequencing demonstration

DNA sequencing
Termination points are nucleotide specific but occur randomly along length of target DNA Generates many fragments of different lengths Fragments resolved by electrophoresis
Discriminate DNAs that differ in length by as little as a single nucleotide Four populations loaded into adjacent lanes of sequencing gel, order of nucleotides along DNA can be read from gel image

Classic Sanger sequencing


Sequencing performed in four separate reactions each containing one of the four ddNTPs Run on adjacent lanes in a denaturing polyacrylamide gel Short runs and can be difficult to interpret

Automation of Sanger Method


Cycle sequencing/Dye-terminator 15-40 rounds of conventional thermal cycling
Denaturation of double stranded DNA Annealing of primer to sequence Extension of primer by thermal stable DNA polymerase Termination of extended strand by ddNTP incorporation

Fluorescent dyes to ddNTPs that become incorporated to 3 end of sequencing reaction products
Same primer in a single tube

Capillary electrophoresis

Electropherograms

Key to consistent successful cycle sequencing is cleanliness of DNA template


Impurities (e.g., agarose, salts, proteins) cause premature termination and pausing of DNA polymerase Degraded DNA cause false priming

DNA sequencing success

DNA template should be purified and the quantity and quality of DNA template should be assessed prior to submitting samples for sequencing
