Discuss the underlying biochemical principle of the nucleic acid sequencing methods known as Semiconductor (Ion Torrent) sequencing.
Transcriptome analysis involves two separate methodologies: gene expression and RNA seq analyses. The 10 items below are a scrambled listing of the steps used in the two procedures. Identify the steps involved in RNA seq from the list below. Use the numbers in the list to refer to each step. Once the steps for RNA seq have been identified, write the steps in the order in which they are performed during the experiment. (1) DNA sequencing (2) Allow for hybridization and wash excess cRNA. (3) Mix labeled cRNA with array chip. (4) PCR amplification (5) Measure fluorescence intensity to determine abundance of transcripts. (6) Add labeled cRNA at each microarray location. (7) Map cDNA sequences to the genome of the organism to determine identity and abundance of transcripts.

Considering DNA sequencing by the Sanger method. It is correct to say that: * A)In the traditional method, radioactively “labeled” primers are used, allowing their visualization in autoradiography. B)In the automated method, a single reaction is performed containing the four “labeled” dideoxynucleotides, each with a different fluorophore. C)In both traditional and automated methods, the fragments are resolved and interpreted according to their ionization state. D)In the automated method, di-deoxynucleotides “labeled” with the same fluorophore are used, thus allowing their interpretation based on graphs of fluorescence emission. E)Sequencing reactions can use mRNA molecules, as long as they have a polyA tail.

To determine the reproducibility of mutation fre-quency measurements, you do the following experiment.You inoculate each of 10 cultures with a single E. coli bac-terium, allow the cultures to grow until each contains 106cells, and then measure the number of cells in each culturethat carry a mutation in your gene of interest. You were sosurprised by the initial results that you repeated the experi-ment to confirm them. Both sets of results display the sameextreme variability, as shown in Table Q5–1. Assuming thatthe rate of mutation is constant, why do you suppose thereis so much variation in the frequencies of mutant cells indifferent cultures?
A student is running gels to sequence a DNA fragment as below. In addition to running four sequencing reactions with the requisite ddNTPs, they also include four ‘mystery’ reactions representing variants of the first sequencing lane (using ddATP to sequence T in the template) in which one or more components of the reaction have been omitted or inappropriately added. Give a possible explanation for the what was inappropriately added/omitted in each mystery lane. Note two important things: firstly, even if everything works perfectly there is still always some unextended primer in a reaction. Secondly, there may be more than one possible explanation for some lanes; just give one.
In Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the temperature is one of the most important parameters that could influence the efficiency of this technique. Each cycle of this reaction has its own specific temperature. For instance, the denaturation step possesses a temperature of 94 - 98 ℃ to ensure that the double stranded DNA is fully separated. (i) (ii) (iii) Why is the annealing temperature vital in this technique? Explain how will this temperature affects the efficiency of this reaction. Why is Hot Start PCR technique preferred by some researchers? If the primers you purchased possessed the following information. 5'-GGA AAC AGC TAT GAC CAT G-3' Calculate the melting temperature of this primer and estimate the annealing temperature of this primer.
Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. What are the four key features of a mass spectrometer? Describe briefly how MALDI and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis could be used to identify a protein expressed in cancer cells but not in normal healthy cells.
The short DNA shown below is to be sequenced. Using your knowledge of how the Sanger method works, in the gel diagram, draw in the bands that will appear when DNA polymerase is added to the reaction along with the four different nucleotide mixtures indicated. Note that some of these mixtures are not what would normally be used in a sequencing reaction. Dideoxynucleatides (ddNTPs) are added in relatively small amounts.
