Scientific Concepts and Discoveries Presented

Human Genome Project (Human Genome Business)

The Human Genome Project was a global initiative aimed at sequencing the entire human genome, which is the complete set of genetic information encoded in chromosomes. The genome consists of all the DNA sequences that carry genetic information.

DNA Sequencing Principle

DNA sequencing is based on the natural mechanism of DNA replication. It involves the incorporation of nucleotides (dNTPs) into a growing DNA strand complementary to a template strand. The sequencing method exploits the termination of DNA synthesis by using modified nucleotides called ddNTPs.

Difference Between dNTP and ddNTP

dNTP (deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate):
- Standard nucleotide with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3’ carbon of the deoxyribose sugar.
- Allows the addition of the next nucleotide during DNA replication by forming a phosphodiester bond.
ddNTP (dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate):
- Modified nucleotide lacking the 3’ hydroxyl group (missing oxygen at both 2’ and 3’ carbons).
- Incorporation into DNA terminates replication because no further nucleotides can be added.
- Often labeled with fluorescent tags to identify the terminating base.

Sanger Sequencing Methodology

The Sanger sequencing method uses the following components:

A single-stranded DNA template
DNA polymerase enzyme
A primer
Normal dNTPs
Fluorescently labeled ddNTPs

DNA polymerase extends the primer by adding dNTPs. Random incorporation of ddNTPs causes termination at various lengths. The terminated fragments are then separated by size, and the fluorescent tags reveal the sequence of bases.

Methodology Outline for DNA Sequencing (Sanger Method)

Prepare a single-stranded DNA template.
Add a DNA primer that binds to the template.
Include DNA polymerase enzyme to catalyze nucleotide addition.
Provide a mixture of four normal dNTPs (A, T, G, C).
Add small amounts of fluorescently labeled ddNTPs.
DNA synthesis proceeds until a ddNTP is incorporated, terminating elongation.
Resulting DNA fragments of varying lengths are analyzed by fluorescence to determine the sequence.
