Sanger Sequencing (Chain termination sequencing)


 Sanger sequencing involves a single stranded DNA template, primer, polymerase,
deoxynucleosidetriphosphates (dNTPs) and modified (ddNTPs). The ddNTPs are
radioactively or fluorescently labeled, and are responsible for DNA template termination .
 Following the DNA template extension, resulting DNA fragments are denaturated and
separated based on size by electrophoresis on acrylamide gel .
 The gel is read under UV light and DNA sequence is extrapolated.

Illumina sequencing (Sequencing-by-synthesis)


 Adapter ligated DNA fragments are attached to a primer on the slide; DNA is then amplified to
form DNA clusters.
 Four reverse termination bases with different fluorescent labels are added.
 The Illumina sequencer reads the fluorescently modified nucleotides as they are incorporated

PacBio RS Sequencing (SMRT)


 Single molecule real time sequencing (SMRT) adapted by Pacific Biosciences utilizes a
determined primer and fluorescent nucleotide analogues that provide a fluorescent signal to
the machine as they are added for DNA synthesis.
 This is done using a zero mode wavelength (ZMW), which allows only a single light wave to
pass through the bottom of the well, which is then read by a laser.
 A single SMRT chip consists of 150,000 ZMW wells, each of which has a single polymerase
attached at the bottom of the well.

Nanopore sequencing (Strand sequencing)

 Nanopore DNA sequencing is based on detection of nucleotide specific ionic current during
DNA amplification.
 A single stranded DNA (usually in KCl solution) is driven through a microscopic nanopore.
 The nanopore has a DNA polymerase attached and the DNA molecule blocks it.
 Each of the nucleotides as they pass through the nanopore will produce an ionic current that
will fluctuate.
 This ionic current fluctuation provides information on length and composition of the DNA
molecule
