11、 Labeled ddNTP2. Polymerase catalyzed The shortgun strategy permits a partial assembly of large genome sequencenIf we want to sequence a much larger and more complicate eukaryotic genome using the shortgun strategy. What can we do?nFirstly, libraries in different level should be constructed.Fig 20-1

12、6nThe DNA fragment can be easily extracted and sequenced automatically.nSophisticated computer programs have been developed to assemble the randomized DNA fragment, forming contigs.nA single contig is about 50000 to 200000 bp. Its useful to analysis fruit fly genome that contains an average of one g

13、ene every 10kb.nIf we want to analysis human genome, contigs should be assembled into scaffolds. 1-16 the paired-end strategy permits the assembly of large genome sequencenThe main limitation to producing large contigs is the occurrence of repetitive sequence. (Why?)nTo solve this problem, paired-en

14、d sequencing is developed.nThe same genomic DNA is also used to produce recombinant libraries composed of large fragments between 3100kb.NUCLEIC ACIDSnThe end of each clone can be sequenced easily, and these larger clones can firstly assemble together. nIf a larger scaffold is needed, you should use

15、 a cloning vector that can carry large DNA fragment, (at least 100kb). BAC is a good choice. BAC(bacterial artificial chromosome): a special cloning vector to obtain paired-end sequence data from large DAN fragments that are at least 100kb in length.The use of BACs often permits the assignment of mu

17、inder methods:analysis of protein-coding regions in cionanThe most important method for validating protein coding regions and identify those those missed by current current gene finder program is the use of cDNA sequence data.nThe mRNAs are firstly reverse transcript into cDNA, and these cDNA, both

18、full length and partial, are sequenced using shortgun method. These sequence are used to generate EST (expressed sequence tag) database. And these ESTs are aligned onto genomic scaffolds to help us identify genes.Comparative Genome Analysis Comparative analysis helps identify short exons, some locat

20、esThe availability of whole genome sequences for an increasing number of animals is providing a rapidly expanding database for comparative genomics. The exon-intron nature of eukaryotic genes and the lack of strict sequence constraints in noncoding elements create formidable challenges to the identi

New and more effective tools of bioinformatics will be required to fully epxploit the treasure trove of information that is being generated by automated DAN sequencing.Analysis of sequencesnUsing computers and
