Document Summary

Used to determine to determine the sequence of nucleotides in a stretch of dna. Need: template dna, primer, dna polymerase, deoxynucleotides, dideoxynucleotides. Dideoxynucleotide - lacks 3" hydroxyl, cannot be enlarged by dna polymerase. Nucleotides cannot be added to the 3" end. Dideoxynucleotides are died with different fluorescent dyes. Need to know the beginning sequence (to create the primer) Two options when adding to the primer. Dctp can be added - chain can be elongated. Ddctp can be added - chain terminated. Creates dna chains with a range of sizes, each labeled with a fluorescent dye. Run sequences through a gel and a machine orders the lengths & reads the colors. From this, you can deduce the sequence. Single sequence reaction can yield a few hundred to thousand base pairs. Human genome contains 3 billion base pairs. Shotgun sequencing - cut genome into small fragments, sequence them, assemble the entire sequence.
