methods, such as bisulfite sequencing and
pyrosequencing.
Sequencing Methods
 Maxam/Gilbert chemical sequencing

Chain Termination (Sanger)
Sequencing
Chain Termination (Sanger)
Sequencing
 With addition of enzyme (DNA polymerase), the primer is
extended until a ddNTP is encountered.
 The chain will end with the incorporation of the ddNTP.
 With the proper dNTP:ddNTP ratio, the chain will
terminate throughout the length of the template.
 All terminated chains will end in the ddNTP added to that
reaction.
Chain Termination (Sanger)
Sequencing
 The collection of fragments is a sequencing ladder.
 The resulting terminated chains are resolved by
electrophoresis.
 Fragments from each of the four tubes are placed in four
separate gel lanes.
Sequencing gels are read from bottom to top (5′ to 3′).

Cycle Sequencing
 Cycle sequencing is chain termination sequencing performed in a thermal
cycler.
 Cycle sequencing requires a heat-stable DNA polymerase.
Fluorescent Dyes
 Fluorescent dyes are multicyclic molecules that absorb and emit
fluorescent light at specific wavelengths.
 Examples are fluorescein and rhodamine derivatives.
 For sequencing applications, these molecules can be covalently
attached to nucleotides.
Fluorescent Dyes
 In dye primer sequencing, the primer contains
fluorescent dye–conjugated nucleotides, labeling the
sequencing ladder at the 5′ ends of the chains.
 In dye terminator sequencing, the fluorescent dye
molecules are covalently attached to the
dideoxynucleotides, labeling the sequencing ladder
at the 3′ ends of the chains.
AC
GT
The fragments are
distinguished by size and
“color.”
Dye Terminator Sequencing
 A distinct dye or “color” is used for each of the four
ddNTP.
 Since the terminating nucleotides can be distinguished by
color, all four reactions can be performed in a single tube.

Automated Sequencing
 Dye primer or dye terminator sequencing on capillary
instruments.
 Sequence analysis software provides analyzed sequence in
text and electropherogram form.
 Peak patterns reflect mutations or sequence changes.
Alternative Sequencing
Methods:
Pyrosequencing
 Pyrosequencing is based on the generation of light signal through release
of pyrophosphate (PPi) on nucleotide addition.
 DNAn + dNTP  DNAn+1 + PPI
 PPi is used to generate ATP from adenosine phosphosulfate (APS).
 APS + PPI  ATP
 ATP and luciferase generate light by conversion of luciferin to
oxyluciferin.
Alternative Sequencing Methods:
Pyrosequencing
 Each nucleotide is added in turn.
 Only one of four will generate a light signal.
 The remaining nucleotides are removed enzymatically.
 The light signal is recorded on a pyrogram.
Alternative Sequencing Methods:
Bisulfite Sequencing
 Bisulfite sequencing is used to detect methylation in DNA.
 Bisulfite deaminates cytosine, making uracil.
 Methylated cytosine is not changed by bisulfite treatment.
 The bisulfite-treated template is then sequenced.
Alternative Sequencing Methods:
Bisulfite Sequencing
The sequence of treated and untreated templates is compared.

Summary
 Genetic information is stored in the order or sequence of
nucleotides in DNA.
 Chain termination sequencing is the standard method for
the determination of nucleotide sequence.
 Dideoxy-chain termination sequencing has been facilitated
by the development of cycle sequencing and the use of
fluorescent dye detection.
 Alternative methods are used for special applications,
such as pyrosequencing (for resequencing and
polymorphism detection) or bisulfite sequencing (to
analyze methylated DNA).
