PCR • Pyrosequencing reaction • Gel à Real time imaging • AB SOLiD • Cloning à Emulsion PCR • Sequencing by ligation • Gel à Real time imaging • Illumina G.A. • Cloning à Bridge amplification • Reversible terminators (~Sanger) • Gel à Real time imaging Single read is ~500 bp 0.5 Gb per run (10 hours) Longest reads, expensive Single read is 50bp 60 Gb per run (7 days) Best dollars/Gb ratio Single read is max 100bp About 15 Gb per run (10d) Best compromise
• Discard A-A and B-B molecules with avidin coated beads and some magic • Emulsion PCR • Mix PrimerA-coated beads, single strand template, PCR mix and oil • Adding proper ratio of DNA/beads maximize the case of droplets with 1 DNA molecule inside. • Million different templates in a single tube A single step instead of cloning into bacteria!

well • Pyrosequencing • Polymerase extends the primer but 1 base at time is added • PPi release is coupled with flash light • An issue with long homopolymers • Hi resolution CCD camera records images • Computer then rebuild sequences
dinucleotides… • …but each base is called twice • SNP ≠ sequencing error • Determine sequence? • Here how it looks like: Do you like to think in a colourful way?
Single molecule seq. • Either longer reads (Visigen claims to reach 10kbp!) or higher througput (SOLiD will do 100Gbp!) • Could you sequence DNA with a pore? • Sanger’s revenge • Microfluidic based Sanger method. Feasible? What whould you do with a 1000$ human genome?
