DNA sequencing Dideoxy-terminating sequencing or Sanger dideoxy sequencing
Tools DNA template (single stranded) Specific primer (usually 17-23 mer, free 3 -OH) dntps DNA polymerase capacity of polymerizing ddntps and other nucleotides analogues proofreading activity (facultative) variable processivity (ex 300 nts/min) Ex. T7 DNA polymerase, Sequenase ddntps (dideoxyribonucleotides)
The dideoxy method of DNA sequencing is based on the termination of DNA synthesis The dideoxy sequencing requires a special substrate for DNA synthesis dntp vs ddntp
Nucleotides analogues (DNA chain terminators)
DNA template: cloned DNA or PCR product Vectors contain universal sequencing primer sites on either side of the site where DNA will be inserted
Single-stranded templates for DNA sequencing can be provided Ex: M13 filamentous phage A universal sequencing primer can be used to sequence many different template DNAs

Dideoxy method of DNA sequencing + 35 S[dATP] * Annealing Polymerization and labeling Termination Polyacrylamide/urea gel electrophoresis Pierce 19.6 *- substituded automated DNA sequncing methods
Labelling of the neo-synthesized chain: Manual DNA sequencing Radioactive labeling of a deoxynucleoside triphosphate Automated DNA squencing Fluorescence labeling of ddntp or primer with different fluorophores
35S-(a (a-thio) thio)-deoxynucleoside triphosphate - 35 S instead of O - One of the deoxyriboucleosides triphosphate is labeled with 35 S-(α-thio)-triphosphate (or α- 32 P-triphosphate), allowing neo-synthesized chain to be detected
Each of the four ddntps is tagged with a fluorescent dye The dideoxy sequencing method can be automated Fluorescent dye detected by using a laser beam and a detector Denaturated DNA products are mixed and laoded into a single well on an electrophoresis gel. Pierce 19.8 The sequence information is directly read and electronically stored into the computer, which converts it into the complementary- target- sequence
Each well is a single sample
Printout from an automatic sequencer that uses fluorescent dyes N, represents a base that cannot be assigned Suzuki 12-24
