3 sequencing methods:
 MegaBACETM Method

454 sequencingTM
Single Molecule Real Time (SMRTTM) DNA
sequencing
MegaBACETM Method
 First PCR amplification
 After the amplification DYEnamic™ ET dye terminators and

Thermo SequenaseTM II DNA Polymerase is used
 Polymerase incorporates dNTPs in to the newly synthesized

DNA strand during a PCR reaction
 Dye terminators are fluorescently dye labelled ddNTPs that

terminates further elongation of newly synthesized DNA

strands
Cont….
Each of the four ddNTPs has different dye labels

Dye marked fragments are separated in the MegaBACE
instrument, which is a fluorescence based detection capillary
electrophoresis system that separate fragments according to
their size
454 SEQUENCINGTM METHOD
First developed in Sweden in the 90s

(Ronaghi et al.,1998)

An Emulsion based method, amplify DNA fragments invitro together with sequencing method (Pyrosequencing)

Nucleic acids are randomly split into fragments 300-800
bp in length

Speical adaptor (Biotinylated) are ligated to the fragments
Cont….
Adaptors consist of two different primers, which are
specific for 3’ and 5’ end of the fragments

Individual fragments are ligated to special DNA capture
beads (Streptavidin) against using the adaptors

Beads are placed in heat stable water-in-oil emulsion &
become captured in the water droplets

Droplets contains PCR reagents
After amplification the emulsion is broken from the beads
Cont….
 Beads which are carrying DNA fragments incubated with DNA
bead Incubation Mix (DNA polymerase)

 Loaded onto PicoTiter plate device for sequencing
 PicoTiter plate is a fibre optic slide consists of open wells, that
are so small, (75*10-12 l) that one bead can fit one well

 Smaller enzymatic beads (Sulfurylase & Luciferase) are also
loaded into the slide

 PicoTiter plate is placed in the sequencing instrument
(Sequence reagents, buffers & nucleotides)
Single Molecule Real Time (SMRTTM) DNA
sequencing Method
Built on single sequencing by synthesis with fluorescent
based detection

 Sequence procedure takes place on SMRTTM chips
 On each chip there is thousands of Zero-mode waveguides
(ZMV)

 ZMV are cylindrical holes just a few tens of nm in diameter
 Holes perforate a thin metal film i.e supported by a
transparent substrate
Cont….
When laser light comes through the transparent substrate, the
wavelength of the light is too large to pass through the small
ZMVs

Light does not stop directly at the opening of the ZMVs,
instead attenuated light penetrates the lower 20-30nm of each
ZMV

A single DNA polymerase is attached to the transparent
substrate at the bottom of each ZMV

Phospholinked nucleotides are introduced into the ZMVs
Each base carries a different coloured fluorophore
Cont….
When a nucleotide is incorporated into the DNA strand, the
polymerase holds the dye marked nucleotide in the ZMV’s
detection volume for tens of milliseconds

This creates a flash of bright light that can be detected
light emitted by the fluorephores passes through a prism that
deflects the light according to its colour. The light is thereafter
transferred to a single-photon sensitive CCD array

Position of the deflected light reveals which base that was
creating the signal
SYSTEM PERFORMANCES
Throughput
 MegaBACE simultaneosuly analyzes 384 DNA samples in
one run, it can sequence 1920 templates within 8 hrs &
generate 2 million bases

 454 sequence has an average yield of 400 000 reads/run &
generates more than 100 million bases/7.5 hrs run

 SMRT can sequence 3000 templates/run, can improved 100
billion bases/hr
Time

Cont….

 MegaBACE can run less than 2 hrs
 454 sequence, the whole procedure takes 20 hrs &
instruments run time is 7.5 hr

 SMRT will take just a few minutes; it incorporates bases with a
speed of 10 bases/sec

DNA requirments
 MegaBACE: 250-500 ng of plasmid or M13 DNA or 30-60ng of
PCR prodcut is required

 454 Sequence: 10-50 ng DNA & have conc.5ng/µl or more
 SMRT: DNA requirement is not clear
Read-length
 MegaBACE: Avg read length is 500 bases. If using a slower 3
hr run time read lengths upto 1000 bases can be obtained

 454 has an average read length of 200-300 bases. In 2008 it
should be more than 400 bases

(Roche Applied ScienceTM)

 SMRT has read-length of 1500 bases & it can reach 10000
bases or more
