DNA Sequencing
- Fredrick Sanger’s Method
Prepared by- Mr. A.R.Shinde
• Fredrick Sanger (1977 received the Noble prize)
• Based on controlled interruption of DNA replication.
• He created a system in which a cloned fragment of DNA is copied, but som
of the copies are halted at each base pair along the sequence.
THE SANGER METHOD
Deoxyribo nucleic acid ribose sugar lacks an
oxygen atom.
“dideoxynucleotide” lacks a 2nd oxygen atom
(3’OH) responsible for extension of growing
DNA strand.
REQUIREMENTS
i. Template DNA
ii. A short primer(about 20 nucleotides)
iii. DNA polymerase
iv. dNTP nucleotides
v. 4 ddNTP nucleotides(i.e. ddG,ddC,ddA,ddT
which are radioactively labeled)
PROCEDURE
 4 different reactions.(each containing template
DNA,primer,DNApolymerase & dNTPs)
 Add one type of ddNTP to each.
 DNA is denatured by heating 2 strands separate.
 DNA polymerase starts synthesizing a new strand by
using one strand as the template.
 dNTPs & ddNTPs are randomly added to the new
chain(but as soon as a ddNTP is added , the chain
extension stops)
 DNA strands of different lengths are obtained.
 Electrophoresis(PAGE).
 The PAGE is divided into 4 different lanes.
 Each reaction is then loaded into
separate lanes of PAGE containing urea.
 DNA migrates towards +ve pole of the electric field.
 Movement(size dependent) fragments separated by length
from shortest to longest
 Blue tracking dye(to track the movement)
 X-ray film(gives the positions of the DNA bands in the gel).
 Sequencing gel is read from bottom to top
Automated DNA sequencing
Leroy Hood.
Used instead of X-ray film.
Each ddNTP was given a colour
tag(fluorescently labeled)
PAGE was illuminated by laser beam.
Disadvantages
The dideoxy method is good only for500-
750bp reactions.
Expensive.
Time consuming.
The human genome is about 3billion bp.
Advantage
Use fewer toxic reagents than Maxam-Gilbert
method.
