Introduction
• Genomics research has entered a new age, in
  which deciphering the genome’s effect on
  biology and medicine requires not only the
  detection of mutations and sequence
  variation, but also understanding the dynamic
  nature of genome biology.
• The “Next Generation Sequencing” should be
  called the Current Generation Sequencing
Overview of three major next
    Generation Sequencing Technologies
•   Illumina / GAII
•   Helicos / Heliscope
•   Life Tech / Solid
•   (briefly Ion Torrent, PacBio
    & Complete Genomics)
• The principle at the heart of all these
  technologies is similar
• (sequence by synthesis)

           Sanger Sequencing
(Except Solid)




Detect stopped fluorescent fragments (using ddNTP spikes)
• It is similar with the next generation
  sequencers where the different platforms
  either detect the incorporation of a
  fluorescent nucleotide or a bi-product of the
  reaction like the PPi or the release of a
  proton by the DNA polymerase
Common Steps (to all platforms)

The addition of one of the four
                                         454
deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs)(in the
case of dATP we add dATPαS which is not a
substrate for a luciferase) initiates the second
step. DNA polymerase incorporates the
correct, complementary dNTPs onto the
template. This incorporation releases
pyrophosphate (PPi) stoichiometrically.
ATP sulfurylase quantitatively converts PPi to
ATP in the presence of adenosine 5´
phosphosulfate. This ATP acts as fuel to the
luciferase-mediated conversion of luciferin to
oxyluciferin that generates visible light in
amounts that are proportional to the amount
of ATP. The light produced in the luciferase-
catalyzed reaction is detected by a camera and
analyzed in a program.
Unincorporated nucleotides and ATP are
degraded by the apyrase, and the reaction can
restart with another nucleotide.

• Several new platforms are emerging (variation
  on a same theme) that will increase
  throughput and reduce cost.

• The Next Gen Sequencing approaches are
  really the Now Gen Sequencing approaches
  and they are making a real impact in life
  sciences and soon in clinical diagnostics
  (starting with our own CGS test).
