1. DNA sequencing involves determining the order of nucleotide bases in DNA. The original chain termination or dideoxy method developed by Sanger is still widely used for small DNA segments.
2. Whole genome shotgun sequencing breaks large genomes into fragments that are sequenced and then reassembled, allowing sequencing of entire genomes.
3. Pyrosequencing is a sequencing by synthesis method that uses a bioluminescent reaction to determine nucleotides added, enabling accurate and fast sequencing.
Sanger sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing based on the selective incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication.

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

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

different ddNTPs

11. Determining DNA Sequence
Originally 2 methods were invented around 1976, but only
one is widely used: the chain-termination method
invented by Fred Sanger.
The other method is Maxam-Gilbert chemical degradation method,
which is still used for specialized purposes, such as analyzing DNA-
protein interactions.
More recently, several cheaper and faster alternatives have
been invented. It is hard to know which of these methods,
or possibly another method, will ultimately become
standard. We will discus two of them: 454
pyrosequencing and Illumina/Solexa sequencing
12. Sanger Sequencing
Uses DNA polymerase to synthesize a second DNA
strand that is labeled. DNA polymerase always adds
new bases to the 3’ end of a primer that is base-
paired to the template DNA.
DNA polymerase is modified to eliminate its
editing function
Also uses chain terminator nucleotides: dideoxy
nucleotides (ddNTPs), which lack the -OH group
on the 3' carbon of the deoxyribose. When DNA
polymerase inserts one of these ddNTPs into the
growing DNA chain, the chain terminates, as
nothing can be added to its 3' end.
13. Sequencing Reaction
The template DNA is usually single stranded
DNA, which can be produced from plasmid
cloning vectors that contain the origin of
replication from a single stranded bacteriophage
such as M13 or fd. The primer is complementary
to the region in the vector adjacent to the
multiple cloning site.
Sequencing is done by having 4 separate
reactions, one for each DNA base.
All 4 reactions contain the 4 normal dNTPs, but
each reaction also contains one of the ddNTPs.
In each reaction, DNA polymerase starts creating
the second strand beginning at the primer.
When DNA polymerase reaches a base for which
some ddNTP is present, the chain will either:
terminate if a ddNTP is added, or:
continue if the corresponding dNTP is
added.
which one happens is random, based on
ratio of dNTP to ddNTP in the tube.
However, all the second strands in, say, the A
tube will end at some A base: you get a collection
of DNAs that end at each of the A's in the region
being sequenced.
14.
15. Electrophoresis
The newly synthesized DNA from
the 4 reactions is then run (in
separate lanes) on an
electrophoresis gel.
The DNA bands fall into a ladder-
like sequence, spaced one base
apart. The actual sequence can be
read from the bottom of the gel up.
Automated sequencers use 4
different fluorescent dyes as tags
attached to the dideoxy nucleotides
and run all 4 reactions in the same
lane of the gel.
Today’s sequencers use capillary
electrophoresis instead of slab gels.
Radioactive nucleotides (32
P) are
used for non-automated
sequencing.
Sequencing reactions usually
produce about 500-1000 bp of good
sequence.
16. Next Generation Sequencing
Recently a number of faster and cheaper sequencing methods have been
developed.
The Archon X prize (2006): "the first Team that can build a device and use it to
sequence 100 human genomes within 10 days or less, with an accuracy of no more
than one error in every 100,000 bases sequenced, with sequences accurately
covering at least 98% of the genome, and at a recurring cost of no more than
$10,000 (US) per genome.”
Currently there is a push for (and NIH grant money for) developing a method that
will sequence the entire human genome for $1000, to allow personal genomics.
One of the most widely used new methods involve the pyrosequencing biochemical
reactions (invented by Nyren and Ronaghi in 1996), with the massively parallel
microfluidics technology invented by the 454 Life Sciences company. We can call
this combined technology “454 sequencing”.
Applications:
sequencing of whole bacterial genomes in a single run
sequencing genomes of individuals
metagenomics: sequencing DNA extracted from environmental samples
looking for rare variants in a single amplified region, in tumors or viral infections
transcriptome sequencing: total cellular mRNA converted to cDNA.
17. Pyrosequencing Biochemistry
In DNA synthesis, a dNTP is attached to the 3’
end of the growing DNA strand. The two
phosphates on the end are released as
pyrophosphate (PPi).
ATP sulfurylase uses PPi and adenosine 5’-
phosphosulfate to make ATP.
ATP sulfurylase is normally used in sulfur assimilation:
it converts ATP and inorganic sulfate to adenosine 5’-
phosphosulfate and PPi. However, the reaction is
reversed in pyrosequencing.
Luciferase is the enzyme that causes fireflies to
glow. It uses luciferin and ATP as substrates,
converting luciferin to oxyluciferin and
releasing visible light.
The amount of light released is proportional to
the number of nucleotides added to the new
DNA strand.
After the reaction has completed, apyrase is
added to destroy any leftover dNTPs.
18. Sequence Assembly
DNA is sequenced in very small
fragments: at most, 1000 bp.
Compare this to the size of the
human genome: 3,000,000,000 bp.
How to get the complete sequence?
In the early days (1980’s), genome
sequencing was done by
chromosome walking (aka primer
walking): sequence a region, then
make primers from the ends to
extend the sequence. Repeat until
the target gene was reached.
The cystic fibrosis gene was
identified by walking about 500 kbp
from a closely linked genetic marker,
a process that took a long time and
was very expensive.
Still useful for fairly short DNA
molecules, say 1-10 kbp.
19. Shotgun Sequencing
Shotgun sequencing is what is
typically done today: DNA is
fragmented randomly and
enough fragments are sequenced
so each base is read 10 times or
more on average. The
overlapping fragments (“reads”)
are then assembled into a
complete sequence.
For large genomes, hierarchical
shotgun sequencing is a useful
technique: first break up the
genome into an ordered set of
cloned fragments (scaffolds),
usually BAC clones. Each BAC is
shotgun sequenced separately.
20. Shotgun

whole genomes
Steps:
DNA is broken up
