DNA sequencing refers to determining the order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. The first DNA sequence was obtained in the 1970s using chromatography. Modern methods use dye-based sequencing and automation. The two main historical methods are the Maxam-Gilbert chemical degradation method and the Sanger dideoxy chain termination method. Next generation sequencing now allows millions of DNA molecules to be sequenced in parallel through massively parallel sequencing technologies.

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the nucleic acid sequence – the order of nucleotides in DNA. It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery.
Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research, DNA Genographic Projects and in numerous applied fields such as medical diagnosis, biotechnology, forensic biology, virology and biological systematics. Comparing healthy and mutated DNA sequences can diagnose different diseases including various cancers,characterize antibody repertoire, and can be used to guide patient treatment.[5Having a quick way to sequence DNA allows for faster and more individualized medical care to be administered, and for more organisms to be identified and cataloged.
The rapid speed of sequencing attained with modern DNA sequencing technology has been instrumental in the sequencing of complete DNA sequences, or genomes, of numerous types and species of life, including the human genome and other complete DNA sequences of many animal, plant, and microbial species.
The first DNA sequences were obtained in the early 1970s by academic researchers using laborious methods based on two-dimensional chromatography. Following the development of fluorescence-based sequencing methods with a DNA sequencer, DNA sequencing has become easier and orders of magnitude faster.
DNA sequencing refers to the general laboratory technique for determining the exact sequence of nucleotides, or bases, in a DNA molecule. The sequence of the bases (often referred to by the first letters of their chemical names: A, T, C, and G) encodes the biological information that cells use to develop and operate.Whole Genome Sequencing
•Allows doctors to closely analyze a patient's genes for mutations and health indicators.
•Can detect intellectual disabilities and developmental delays.
•WGS is currently available at Yale for patients in the NICU and PICU.
•Involves Genetics.Sequencing may be utilized to determine the order of nucleotides in small targeted genomic regions or entire genomes. Illumina sequencing enables a wide variety of applications, allowing researchers to ask virtually any question related to the genome, transcriptome, or epigenome of any organism.The spectrum of analysis of NGS can extend from a small number of genes to an entire genome, depending on the goal. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and whole-exome sequencing (WES) provide the sequence of DNA bases across the genome and exome, respectively.Capillary electrophoresis (CE) instruments are capable of performing both Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis. Fragment analysis is a method in which DNA fragments are fluorescently labeled, separated by CE, and sized by comparison to an internal standard. sanger and Maxam-Gilbert sequencing technologies were classified

3.And the most important one is the applications of DNA sequencing.
The chain-termination method developed by Frederick Sanger and coworkers in 1977. This method used fewer toxic chemicals and lower amounts of radioactivity than the Maxam and Gilbert method. Because of its comparative ease, the Sanger method was soon automated and was the method used in the first generation of DNA sequencers.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (abbreviated RFLP) refers to differences (or variations) among people in their DNA sequences at sites recognized by restriction enzymes. Such variation results in different sized (or length) DNA fragments produced by digesting the DNA with a restriction enzyme.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

2. DNA Sequencing:
DNA sequencing refers to methods for determining the order of the nucleotides bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and
thymine in a molecule of DNA.
The first DNA sequence was obtained by academic researchers, using laboratories methods based on 2- dimensional
chromatography in the early 1970s.
By the development of dye based sequencing method with automated analysis, DNA sequencing has become easier and
faster.
3. Methods of DNA sequencing:
Two main methods are widely known to be used to sequence
DNA:
1. The Chemical Method (also called the Maxam–Gilbert
method after its inventors). By using this method, they had
sequenced 24 nucleotides only. However, their method
was published after two years of Sanger’s method.
2. The Chain Termination Method (also known as the
Sanger dideoxy method after its inventor).
Maxam–Gilbert technique depends on the relative chemical
liability of different nucleotide bonds, whereas the Sanger
method interrupts elongation of DNA sequences by
incorporating dideoxynucleotides into the sequences.
The chain termination method is the method more usually
used because of its speed and simplicity.
Sequencing of an Oligonucleotide by Maxam-Gilbert method
4. 1. Chemical Cleavage Method (Maxam–Gilbert Method):
Maxam Gilbert sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing developed by
Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert in 1976–1977. This method is based on
nucleobase-specific partial chemical modification of DNA and subsequent
cleavage at specific bases of the DNA backbone at sites adjacent to the
modified nucleotides.
The method requires radioactive labelling at one end and purification of the
DNA fragment to be sequenced.
Chemical treatment generates breaks at small proportions of one or two
of the four nucleotide based in each of four reactions (G, A+G, C, T +
C).
Thus a series of labelled fragments is generated, from the radiolabelled end
to the first ‘cut’ site in each molecule.
The fragments in the four reactions are arranged side by side in gel
electrophoresis for size separation.
To visualize the fragments, the gel is exposed to X-ray film for
autoradiography, yielding a series of dark bands each corresponding to a
radiolabelled DNA fragment, from which the sequence may be inferred.
Features:
Base-specific cleavage of DNA by certain chemicals
Four different chemicals, one for each base
A set of DNA fragments of different sizes
DNA fragments contain up to 500 nucleotides
Hydrazine: T + C

5. Procedure:
1. DNA extraction is the very first step. After that, the DNA is denatured using
the heat denaturation method and single-stranded DNA is generated.
2. The phosphate (5’P) end of the DNA is removed and labelled by the
radiolabeled P32. The enzyme named phosphatase removes the phosphate
from the DNA and simultaneously, the kinase adds the 32P to the 5’ end of it.
3. 4 different chemicals are used to cleave DNA at four different positions;
hydrazine and hydrazine NaCl are selectively attack pyrimidine nucleotides
while dimethyl sulfate and piperidine attack purine nucleotides.
Hydrazine: T + C
Hydrazine NaCl: C
Dimethyl sulfate: A + G
Piperidine: G
4. An equal volume of 4 different ssDNA samples is taken into 4 different tubes
each containing 4 different chemicals. The samples are incubated for
sometimes and electrophoresed in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The
results of the chemicals cleavage of four different tubes are shown in the
figure below.
5. Autoradiography is used to visualize the separation of DNA fragments. Due
to the radiolabelled 32P end of the DNA, the DNA bands visualized through
autoradiography.

7. Advantages:
Purified DNA can be read directly
Homopolymeric DNA runs are sequenced as efficiently as
heterogeneous DNA sequences
Can be used to analyze DNA protein interactions (i.e.
footprinting)
Can be used to analyze nucleic acid structure and epigenetic
modifications to DNA
Disadvantages:
It requires extensive use of hazardous chemicals.
It has a relatively complex set up / technical complexity.
It is difficult to “scale up” and cannot be used to analyze
more than 500 base pairs.
The read length decreases from incomplete cleavage
reactions.
8. 2. Sanger Sequencing- Dideoxy Chain terminator
method
Sanger sequencing, also known as the “chain
termination method”, is a method for determining the
nucleotide sequence of DNA.
The method was developed by two time Nobel
Laureate Frederick Sanger and his colleagues in
1977, hence the name the Sanger Sequence.
The method is also known as the first-generation
DNA sequencing method.
Sanger’s method of gene sequencing is also known as
dideoxy chain termination method.
9. Principle:
The key principle of the Sanger method was the use of
dideoxynucleotide triphosphates (ddNTPs) as DNA chain
terminators.
A DNA primer is attached by hybridization to the template
strand and deoxynucleosides triphosphates (dNTPPs) are
sequentially added to the primer strand by DNA polymerase.
The M13 primer is designed along with the known
sequences at 3’ end of the template strand.
The reaction mixture also contains dideoxynucleoside
triphosphate (ddNTPs) along with usual dNTPs.
If during replication, ddNTPs is incorporated instead of
usual dNTPs in the growing DNA strand then the
replication stops at that nucleotide.
The ddNTPs are analogue of dNTPs
ddNTPs lacks hydroxyl group (-OH) at c3 of ribose sugar, so it cannot
make phosphodiester bond with nest nucleotide, thus terminates the
nucleotide chain
Respective ddNTPs of dNTPs terminates chain at their respective site.
For example ddATP terminates at A site. Similarly ddCTP, ddGTP and
ddTTP terminates at C, G and T site respectively.
10. Sanger Sequencing Steps
There are three main steps to Sanger sequencing.
1. Template preparation: DNA Sequence for Chain
Termination PCR
2. Generation of nested set of labelled fragments
3. Size Separation by Gel Electrophoresis and gel reading
4. Gel Analysis & Determination of DNA Sequence
11. 1. Template preparation: DNA Sequence for Chain
Termination PCR
The DNA sequence of interest is used as a template for a special
type of PCR called chain-termination PCR.
Steps:
1. Copies of template strand to be sequenced must be
prepared with short known sequences at 3’ end of the
template strand.
2. A DNA primer (M13 SEQUENCING PRIMER) is essential to
initiate replication of template, so primer preparation of
known sequences at 3’end is always required.
12. 2. Generation of nested set of labelled fragments:
Steps:
Copies of each template is divided into four batches and
each batch is used for different replication reaction.
Copies of standard primer, normal dNTPs and DNA
polymerase I are used in all four batches.
To synthesize fragments that terminates at A,
1. ddATP (can be radiolabelled) is added to the reaction
mixture to the batch I along with dATP, dTTP, dCTP and
dGTP,
2. standard primer and
3. DNA polymerase I.
Similarly, to generate, all fragments that terminates at
C, G and T,
the respective ddNTPs i.e. ddCTP, ddGTP and ddTTP are added
respectively to different reaction mixture on different batch
along with usual dNTPs.
13. 3. Size Separation by Gel Electrophoresis and gel reading
Steps:
The reaction mixture from four batches are loaded into
four different well on polyacrylamide gel and
electrophoresed.
The autoradiogram of the gel is read to determine the
order of bases of complementary strand to that of
template strand.
The band of shortest fragments is at the bottom of
autoradiogram so that the sequences of
complementary strand are read from bottom to top.
4. Gel Analysis & Determination of DNA Sequence
The last step simply involves reading the gel to determine the
sequence of the input DNA.
In manual Sanger sequencing, the user reads all four lanes of
the gel at once, moving bottom to top, using the lane to
determine the identity of the terminal ddNTP for each band. For
example, if the bottom band is found in the column corresponding
to ddGTP, then the smallest PCR fragment terminates with
ddGTP, and the first nucleotide from the 5’ end of the original
sequence has a guanine (G) base.
14. Significance of DNA Sequencing:
Information obtained by DNA sequencing makes it possible to understand or
alter the function of genes.
DNA sequence analysis demonstrates regulatory regions that control gene
expression and genetic “hot spots” particularly susceptible to mutation.
Comparison of DNA sequences shows evolutionary relationships that provide
a framework for definite classification of microorganisms including viruses.
Comparison of DNA sequences facilitates identification of conserved regions,
which are useful for development of specific hybridization probes to detect
microorganisms including viruses in clinical samples.
DNA sequencing has become sufficiently fast and inexpensive to allow
laboratory determination of microbial sequences for identification of microbes.
Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal subunit can be used to identify specific
bacteria. Sequencing of viruses can be used to identify the virus and
distinguish different strains.
DNA sequencing shows gene structure that helps research workers to find out
the structure of gene products.
15. Automated DNA sequencing:
The manual Sanger method was tedious. However, recent
advancement into the sequencing makes it easy and rapid to use.
The semi-automated Sanger sequencing method is based on the
principle of Sanger’s method with some minor variations.
Instead of the 4 different reactions, the automated DNA
sequencing carried out in the single tube and the DNA runs in a
single lane.
Here, in the semi-automated DNA sequencing, the fluorescent-
labeled set of primers are used, instead of ddNTPs. Thus four
different primers give four different peaks.
The PAGE method isn’t capable of separating all the fragments
in a single reaction. Therefore, alternatively, the capillary gel
electrophoresis method is practiced. This method separates each
and every single fragment precisely.
The capillary electrophoresis used to separate DNA molecules
on the basis of the size, it is powerful enough to separate single
base pair fragment. The chromatogram generated through the
C.E sent the output as a fluorescent peak.
The advanced semi-automated Sanger sequencing
method is more accurate, reliable and faster than
the traditional method.
16. Three Basic Steps of Automated Sanger Sequencing
The read capacity of the Sanger sequencing is higher as
compared with the chemical degradation method. It can
sequence 700 to 800bp sequence in a single run, therefore,
it is more suitable for sequencing bacterial or other
prokaryotic genomes.
It is more advanced and automated. Even the error rate is
very low as compared with the conventional chain
termination method. Still, it is time-consuming and a high-
cost method.
18. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Important Next Generation Sequencing Techniques
The next-generation sequencing platform is different from the Sanger technique or chain
termination method of DNA sequencing. Broadly, it amplifies millions of copies of a
particular fragment in a massively parallel fashion and the “reads” are analyzed by the
computational program.
Pyro sequencing
Illumina (Solexa) sequencing
Lynx therapeutics’ massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS)
Polony sequencing
SOLiD sequencing
DNA nanoball sequencing
Helioscope single molecule sequencing
Single molecule SMRT sequencing
Single molecule real time (RNAP) sequencing
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a powerful platform that has enabled the sequencing of
thousands to millions of DNA molecules simultaneously.
