6. 重组DNA技术
Once the structure of DNA and the genetic code were
unraveled, it became clear that many deep biological
secrets were locked up in the sequence of bases in DNA.
An avalanche of technical discoveries in the 1970s
drastically changed this perspective and has led to
astounding advances in molecular cell biology in the past
several decades based on the analysis and manipulation of
macromolecules, particularly DNA.

22. The future
Synthetic genomics combines methods for the
chemical synthesis of DNA with computational
techniques to design it. These methods allow scientists
and engineers to construct genetic material that
would be impossible or impractical to produce
using more conventional biotechnological
approaches. For example, using synthetic genomics
it is possible to design and assemble chromosomes,
genes and gene pathways, and even whole genomes.

The J. Craig Venter Institute was formed in October 2006 through the
merger of several affiliated and legacy organizations — The Institute for

46. chromosome library
Individual chromosomes can be separated by morphologies and sizes.
Once the chromosomes have been sorted and collected, a library of
each chromosome type can be made.
The dyes usually selected are Hoechst
33258, which shows a preference for AT-
rich regions, and chromomycin A3, which
binds to GC-rich regions. A cytometer with
two high-powered argon-ion lasers is
required; one laser is tuned to give UV to
excite the Hoechst dye (blue fluorescence)
and the other to 458 nm to excite the
chromomycin A3 (green fluorescence).

with one of the cleavage reagents.

DNA molecule, a nested set of end-labelled DNA fragments of different
lengths is produced.

fragments by electrophoresis depending on their size. DNA bands in the gel
are visualized by autoradiography

81. Sanger-Coulson sequencing (chain termination method
using single-stranded (ss) DNA)
1. Sample DNA to be sequenced is cloned into M13 vector DNA to generate ssDNA.
2. A short oligonucleotide primer (usually chemically synthesized and sometimes
labelled ) is added to the ss recombinant DNA.
3. DNA polymerase is then added in the presence of: 4 normal nucleotides: d-ATP, d-
CTP, d-GTP and d-TTP and a low concentration of 4 analogues of the normal
nucleotides (ddNTP, one of which are labelled with 32P) in separate incubation mixes.
4. Complementary strand synthesis occurs away from the primer.
5. Each of the 4 mixes is run together on a sequencing gel which separates the
fragments by electrophoresis depending on their size. DNA bands in the gel are
visualized by autoradiography.
6. The DNA sequence is read directly from the gel in a similar way to a Maxam-Gilbert
sequencing gel.

95. 454 Sequencing, based on sequencing-by-synthesis
Nucleotides are flowed sequentially in a fixed order across the
PicoTiterPlate device during a sequencing run.
During the nucleotide flow, hundreds of thousands of beads each carrying
millions of copies of a unique single-stranded DNA molecule are sequenced
in parallel.
If a nucleotide complementary to the template strand is flowed into a well,
the polymerase extends the existing DNA strand by adding nucelotide(s).
Addition of one (or more) nucleotide(s) results in a reaction that generates a
light signal that is recorded by the CCD camera in the instrument.
The signal strength is proportional to the number of nucleotides incorporated
in a single nucelotide flow.
97. Addition of one of the four dNTPs, 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.
Unincorporated nucleotides and ATP are
degraded by the apyrase, and the
reaction can restart with another
nucleotide.
ssDNA template is hybridized to a sequencing primer and incubated with the
enzymes DNA polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase and apyrase, and with
the substrates adenosine 5´ phosphosulfate (APS) and luciferin.
106. Ion Torrent
If a nucleotide matches,
a H+ is released.
If a nucleotide does not
match, no H+ released.
If two bases are incorporated,
two H+ are released.
108. Third Generation Sequencing
DNA sequencing methods currently under development include
labeling the DNA polymerase, reading the sequence as a DNA
strand transits through nanopores, and microscopy-based
techniques, such as AFM or transmission electron microscopy
that are used to identify the positions of individual nucleotides
within long DNA fragments (>5,000 bp) by nucleotide labeling
with heavier elements (e.g., halogens) for visual detection and
recording. (No amplification)

For a genome with 50% GC content, this enzyme would cut on
average once every 48 = 65,536 bp. There is a 1 in 4 chance
of G in the first position, a 1 in 4 chance of a C in the second
position, and so on.
129. Making a radiation hybrid
Human cells are irradiated by X rays
to fragment the chromosomes. The
cells are killed, but the chromosome
fragments are rescued by fusing the
irradiated cells with rodent cells.
The chromosome fragments
become integrated into the rodent
chromosomes.

greater the probability those markers
will be on the same DNA fragment
and therefore end up in the same RH.
