Summary Introduction

To analyze:

In laboratory, the following dideoxy DNA sequencing gel is produced.

The double-stranded DNA sequence of this molecules to be determined.

The polarity of each strand is to be labeled.

Introduction:

DNA sequencing is the determination of a sequence of nucleotide bases (A, T, G, C) in a DNA.

Sanger sequencing is a method of sequencing a region of DNA that is up to 900 base pairs in length. This process is also known as Chain termination method.

Sanger sequencing was first developed by Fred Sanger and his colleagues in 1977.

This process involved the formation of many copies of the template DNA strand.

Dideoxynucleotides inhibit the chain elongation process of DNA polymerases. They are also abbreviated as 2', 3' Dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs)- (ddATP, ddTTP, ddGTP, ddCTP).

The principle of Sanger sequencing is that sufficient time and material can produce at least one DNA sequence of every possible length with a tagged nucleotide at the end.

The tagged nucleotides get terminated because ddNTPs lack 3' OH group that generally extends the chain.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which well(A through E) of this agarose gel contains the smallest DNA size? Please look at the pic.
what type of gel(in terms of material) can be more suitable for the electrophoresis of 500-1000bp DNA fragment and why?
During agarose gel electrophoresis, why does DNA move through the gel when electric current is applied? because DNA is negatively charged because a charged chemical from the loading buffer is bound to the DNA because DNA is positively charged because DNA absorbs electricity
