  2. Sanger was awarded his doctorate in 1944 Newly introduced ultracentrifuge equipment, was being used to determine the molecular weight of amino acids and X-rays to study their structure. Some chemical techniques, such as colorimetry which measures the concentration of a chemical element with the aid of a colour reagent, were also being deployed. Most methods, however, were tedious and time-consuming and the results were unreliable. Sanger’s method, also known as dideoxy or chain-termination method was developed by Frederick Sanger in 1977.
  3. The first experiments Sanger conducted were with an amino acid called glycine, but the results were not decisive. Surprisingly, when subjected to partition chromatography the FDNB glycine derivative showed up in two bands instead of just one. Sanger spent a considerable amount of time working out why this happened. It was only later, after he had tagged other amino acids with FDNB, which showed up in just one strong band, that he worked out that glycine was an exception By 1945, Sanger had developed a three stage method for identifying, quantitatively measuring and characterising the terminal amino acids in insulin. This involved treating the protein with FDNB, subjecting it to acid hydrolysis and then separating out the coloured compounds with chromatography. His technique marked a major improvement on early efforts to determine end group amino acids. Importantly, it made it possible to estimate the number and length of peptide chains in proteins which was fundamental to determining a protein's structure. Overall, Sanger had identified two end-group amino acids in insulin: glycine and phenylalanine. This suggested insulin had four open peptide chains. Two ended with the amino acid called phenylalanine and the other two ended with the glycine amino acid. Sanger had successfully separated the two chains of insulin by using performic acid by 1947 (Sanger, 1947). This made it possible for him to start analysing the full range of amino acids in each chain. Undertaking a fuller structural analysis marked a radical departure from the original task set by Chibnall to identify just the handful of end-group amino acids, and the project played to his strengths as a pure bench scientist. He was much more interested in the design and application of different methods than theorising and carrying out the abstract projects which were the priority of other members in the department  1950
  4. One way Chibnall thought the structure of proteins and their amino acid composition could be understood was studying insulin, a small protein secreted by the pancreas that helps regulate sugar levels in the blood. Insulin was attractive as a project for two reasons. Firstly, it was one of the few pure proteins then readily available. It was easily purchased in bottles from a local pharmacy. Secondly, insulin was of major medical interest, having been used for the treatment of diabetes since the 1920s, so pharmaceutical funding could be obtained for research on the protein. Thus Chibnall was soon able to attract funding from Eli Lilly and Company, the American pharmaceutical firm which helped develop insulin as a treatment for diabetes, and from Imperial Chemical Industries, a British chemicals company then in the process of building a pharmaceutical business at Imperial College, and he now invited Sanger to join the project. insulin had a much simpler composition than most proteins. Critically, it lacked two of the most commonly occurring amino acids in other proteins (tryptophan and methionine).  insulin contained a much higher content of one group of amino acids, known as alpha amino acids, than the team could account for. These amino acids appeared at just one terminal, labelled N, on the chain. Overall, the findings suggested insulin was made up of relatively short polypeptide chains. This meant the chains were potentially amenable to chemical analysis  Sanger's first task was to identify the free amino acids at the N terminal of the insulin chain. Free amino acids are single molecules that are not bound by peptide bonds to other amino acids. A number of researchers had already devised some techniques to determine end-group amino acids in proteins. However, as yet, none of these techniques had produced any reliable results. Sanger first investigated a solubility product method developed by Max Bergmann and colleagues at the Rockefeller Institute, New York. He soon rejected it, however, because it necessitated very accurate weighing of many small samples which was extremely laborious given the weighing equipment of the time
  5. He settled instead on partition chromatography. This technique had been developed in the early 1940s  method in 1941, Synge and Martin's technique involved packing a tube tipped vertically with ground up silica gel, then wetting the gel with water and pipetting in an amino acid solution at the top. Chloroform was then inserted to wash the amino acid solution through. A methyl red dye was also added. This dye formed bright red bands against an orange background which helped show up the separated amino acids. Overall, partition chromatography was considered far superior to all previous fraction methods. 
  6. Once back in Cambridge, Sanger serendipitously found that he could break up the protein into mini-chains, made up of four to five amino acids, from near the N termini of the two insulin fragments. This he achieved by diluting the strength of the acid used for hydrolysis and reducing the exposure time to the acid. The advantage of the mini-chains was that they were amenable to separation by the newly developed technique called paper chromatography, an off-shoot of partition chromatography which had been published in 1944 by Archer Martin and two other colleagues based at the Wool Industries Research Institute in Leeds. Paper chromatography represented a major improvement on previous chromatographic methods. The procedure entailed putting a drop of an amino acid solution on the edge of a strip of filter paper wetted with water and then dipping that paper into a solvent. Once absorbed the solvent spread across the paper in two different directions carrying with it the mixture's components. After this the paper was dried and sprayed with ninhydrin, a colouring reagent that reacts with proteins. With the components moving at different speeds on the paper it became possible to see them as distinct and physically separate spots. Critically paper chromatography could be performed with just basic equipment and several samples could be analysed simultaneously
  7. By the time Sanger had completed his analysis of the structure of insulin he was totally gripped by the research possibilities sequencing offered. As he put it, the 'sequencing bug had really taken hold of me‚ the work revealed that different proteins had very similar but not identical amino acid compositions. The differences were all located in one small segment on the glycyl chain. This was the first evidence that proteins shared significant similarities which indicated their evolutionary relationships. The discovery laid the foundation for the development of sequence alignment methods, a procedure commonly used by bioinformatic scientists today for comparing and finding similar sequences of amino acids or DNA base pairs. Aided by computers since the 1970s, this technique helps in the classification of genes and proteins and also helps to determine their biological function, detect point mutations and construct evolutionary trees (Crick, 1958; de Chadarevian, 1999; Lagnado, 2014).
  8. Once ddNTP is incorporated at the 3’- end of a growing polynucleotide chain, the lack of 3’-hydroxyl group prevents the addition of further nucleotides through phospho-diester bond causing the elongation to terminate. ddNTPS are used in less amount as compared to more amount of dNTPs. ddNTPs of respective dNTPs terminate chain at their respective sites. i. e. ddCTP, ddGTP, ddTTP and ddATP terminate at C, G, T and A sites respectively.
  9. When this process is repeated separately for each of the four ddNTPs, different-sized radiolabeled or fluorescent-labeled nested fragments are obtained. The DNA strands differing in size even by only one nucleotide can be separated. Polyacrylamide gel is used  for short DNA molecules (up to a few hundred nucleotides) and agarose gel is generally used for longer fragments of DNA.
  10. It reduces the DNA replicated from a template strand to be sequenced, into four sets of labeled fragments by interrupting the replication process at one of the four bases. The DNA to be sequenced is used as a template strand and a short primer (for the known sequences at 3’ end of the template strand), is radioactively or fluorescently labeled and annealed to it. DNA polymerase uses 2’-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) as substrates. 3’-hydroxyl group of the primer reacts with the incoming (dNTP) to form a new phospho-diester bond elongating the strand. The reaction mixture also contains modified substrates called 2’-,3’-dideoxynucleoside triphosphate (ddNTPs) which are analogs of dNTPs and lack the 3’-hydroxyl group on their ribose sugar.
  11. The iSeq combines the two approaches, using both a CMOS chip and Illumina's normal sequencing-by-synthesis technology. The cost to prepare a sample for the box will range from $25 to $150, and Illumina promises "the same high resolution and accuracy of other Illumina sequencers," and it is half the price of the MiniSeq, which runs $50,000. A run of the machine takes 18 hours. The read length – the length of DNA sequence fragments that must be computationally reassembled – is 2 x 150 DNA base pairs.

  12.  One-third of the original human genome was sequenced at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, with the data stored and shared through the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI).
