486345599DNA sequencing is used forDetecting mutations, typing Microorganisms, identifying Human haplotypes and designating polymorphisms
486345600Targeted therapies will be directed atAbnormal DNA sequences
486352352DNA sequencing defineThe order of nucleotides in the DNA molecule
486352353Sanger method DiscoveredDeoxy chain termination sequencing method
486363731Replication factor (RF) In regard to Dideoxy sequencingBacterial virus replicates by infecting E. coli, viral single-stranded circular
486363732Internal labeling DefineFluorescent dye labeled nucleotides, added to the nucleotide sequencing reaction next.
486363733ddNTP DideoxynucleotidesIs used for sequencing ddNTP lack the hydroxyl group found on 3' ribose C of the deoxy nucleotides (dNTP)
486370754Chain termination definedDNA synthesis stop upon incorporation of a ddNTP Into the growing DNA chain
486370755Why does chain termination occur?ddNTP Does not have a hydroxyl group at the 3' sugar carbon, so the 5'-3' phosphodiester Bond cannot occur & establish subsequent nucleotide (Create chain)
486374165Sections of DNA Created from PCR are often used as sequencing templates QAPCR needs to be free of residual components such as primers and nucleotides
486376108QA:: PCR Amplicon's (Replicated DNA Sections) can be cleaned by ___, ___, ___.Alcohol precipitation, enzymatic digestion with alkaline phosphatase, or if urines and washing on solid phase matrix (Bead or column)
486380311QA Running PCR Amplicon's on and agarose gel confirms the product being sequence and ____Cleans the template
486380312Components required for DNA synthesis areTemplate, primer, enzyme, buffers, dNTPS. All four ingredients go in four separate tubes each two has individual ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, ddTTP
486407793ddNTP Concentrations are critical for generation of a readable sequence because1. high levels= polymerization will terminate too frequently Early along the template 2. Low levels= Infrequent or no termination will occur
486416707Stop buffer consists of20 mM EDTA To Chile cations and stop enzyme activity, formamide to denature the products of the synthesis reaction, and gel loading dies (bromiphenol blue and or xylene cyanol)
486416708QA Maintaining consistent reaction times will provideConsistent band intensity
486416709Synthesize fragments are loaded onto a denaturing poly Accra Madlib gel, in ____ lanesfour adjacent lanes
486421275Sequencing latter defineThe four-lane gel electrophoresis pattern of the products of the four sequencing reactions
486421276The sequencing ladder Deduces DNA sequences, showing smallest and largest Fragments in which locationSmallest fragments, fastest migrating, terminate closest to the primer, bottom of the gel Larger fragments found near 3', Near well
486424937Sequencing latter (polyacrymalide gel plate) is read fromBottom to top, Smallest to largest Fragments of DNA, 5-3', Towards Wells where dNTP'S (A,T,C,G) were originally placed
486427633Cycle sequencing defineUse of thermal cyclers for the sequencing reaction using heat-stable enzymes such as Therminator and Thermosequenase
486650718Automated Fluorescent sequencing vs manual sequencingSame chemistry, Using double-stranded templates and cycle sequencing. Automated cycle sequencing does Not require additional regions to start and stop the reaction therefore is easily adaptable to high throughput applications and automation
486650719QA: electrophoresis and reading of sequential ladder can be automated, ____ is required for reading the DNA sequence ladder.Fluorescent dyes (instead of radioactive nucleotides to label the primers or sequencing fragments)
486660818Automated fluorescent sequencing, Using capillary or single Gelles Lane Is spread byEach nucleotide (Reaction mix) Is read by It's own COLOR (A, T, C, G have a Different color each)
486660819Automated sequencing: dye primer vs dye terminatorDye primer -5' END- uses labeled primers, the products of all four reactions are resolved together in one lane of gel or any capillary. Dye terminators - 3' END- One reaction to this necessary since they will be distinguished directly by the ddNTP on their 3' end
486666265After sequencing reaction using fluorescent dye terminators, excess dye terminators must be removed from the sequencing ladder or cleaned by ____ or _____ or _____.Columns or beads or ethanol precipitation
486666266Sequencing ladder preparation protocolAddition of my terminators to single file, sequencing cleaned, ladder completely denatured,
486670149Fluorescent detection equipment yields results as an _____. Software assigns one of four arbitrary colorsElectropherogram (Rather than a gel pattern) Passed by laserbeam, Beam excites fragment, dye emits it's florescents and is captured by the detector.
486674004Quality of electropherogram depends on what three things1 Quality of template, 2 Efficiency the sequencing reaction, 3The cleanliness of the sequencing latter
486674005Dye blobs ( bright flashes of fluorescence) - Are caused by?Tell your to clean the sequencing ladder properly, They obliterate parts of the sequencing read
486676814QA Sequencing Both strands of DNA is important toConfirm sequence data. This is critical for confirmation mutations or polymorphisms In a sequence
486676815Heterozygous mutations appear asTwo peaks of different color directly on top one another
486676816Heterozygous deletions or insertions appear as(ex. BRCA Frameshift mutations) affect All positions of the sequence downstream of the mutation and are more easily detected
486676817Somatic mutationsI'm more difficult to detect they may be debited by normal sequences that mask the somatic changes
486682469Pyrosequencing DNA sequencing Does not have to make aSequencing ladder
486682470Bisulfate DNA sequencing or Methylation specific sequencingMethylation is detected by comparing the treated sequence with an untreated sequence and noting where the sequence C/T base pairs are not changed to U/G
