CS 5263 Bioinformatics Next-generation sequencing technology
Outline • First generation sequencing • Next generation sequencing (current) • AKA: • Second generation sequencing • Massively parallel sequencing • Ultra high-throughput sequencing • Future generation sequencing • Analysis challenges
Sanger sequencing (1st generation) • DNA is fragmented • Cloned to a plasmid vector • Cyclic sequencing reaction • Separation by electrophoresis • Readout with fluorescent tags Jay Shendure & Hanlee Ji, Nature Biotechnology 26, 1135 - 1145 (2008)
Cyclic-array methods (next-generation) • DNA is fragmented • Adaptors ligated to fragments • Several possible protocols yield array of PCR colonies. • Enyzmatic extension with fluorescently tagged nucleotides. • Cyclic readout by imaging the array. Jay Shendure & Hanlee Ji, Nature Biotechnology 26, 1135 - 1145 (2008)
Available next-generation sequencing platforms Illumina/Solexa ABI SOLiD Roche 454 Polonator HeliScope …
Emulsion PCR • Fragments, with adaptors, are PCR amplified within a water drop in oil. • One primer is attached to the surface of a bead. • Used by 454, Polonator and SOLiD. Rothberg and Leomon Nat Biotechnol. 2008 Shendure and Ji Nat Biotechnol. 2008
454 Sequencing • Stats: • read lengths 200-300 bp • accuracy problem with homopolymers • 400,000 reads per run • costs $60 per megabase Rothberg and Leomon Nat Biotechnol. 2008
Bridge PCR • DNA fragments are flanked with adaptors. • A flat surface coated with two types of primers, corresponding to the adaptors. • Amplification proceeds in cycles, with one end of each bridge tethered to the surface. • Used by illumina/Solexa.
First Round All 4 labeled nucleotides Primers Polymerase
2. Remove fluorophore 3. Remove block on 3’ terminus 1. Take image of first cycle
Stats: • read lengths up to 36 bp • error rates 1-1.5% • several million “spots” per lane (8 lanes) • cost $2 per megabase http://seq.molbiol.ru/
Conventional sequencing Can sequence up to 1,000 bp, and per-base 'raw' accuracies as high as 99.999%. In the context of high-throughput shotgun genomic sequencing, Sanger sequencing costs on the order of $0.50 per kilobase. Jay Shendure & Hanlee Ji, Nature Biotechnology 26, 1135 - 1145 (2008)
Sequence qualities • In most cases, the quality is poorest toward the ends, with a region of high quality in the middle • Uses of sequence qualities • ‘Trimming’ of reads • Removal of low quality ends • Consensus calling in sequence assembly • Confidence metric for variant discovery • In general, newer approaches produce larger amounts of sequences that are shorter and of lower per-base quality • Next-generation sequencing has error rate around 1% or higher
Phred Quality Score • p=error probability for the base • if p=0.01 (1% chance of error), then q=20 • p = 0.00001, (99.999% accuracy), q = 50 • Phred quality values are rounded to the nearest integer
Main Illumina noise factors Schematic representation of main Illumina noise factors. (a–d) A DNA cluster comprises identical DNA templates (colored boxes) that are attached to the flow cell. Nascent strands (black boxes) and DNA polymerase (black ovals) are depicted. (a) In the ideal situation, after several cycles the signal (green arrows) is strong, coherent and corresponds to the interrogated position. (b) Phasing noise introduces lagging (blue arrows) and leading (red arrow) nascent strands, which transmit a mixture of signals. (c) Fading is attributed to loss of material that reduces the signal intensity (c). (d) Changes in the fluorophore cross-talk cause misinterpretation of the received signal (blue arrows; d). For simplicity, the noise factors are presented separately from each other. Erlich et al. Nature Methods 5: 679-682 (2008)
Comparison of existing methods Jay Shendure & Hanlee Ji, Nature Biotechnology 26, 1135 - 1145 (2008)
Read length and pairing TCGTACCGATATGCTG ACTTAAGGCTGACTAGC • Short reads are problematic, because short sequences do not map uniquely to the genome. • Solution #1: Get longer reads. • Solution #2: Get paired reads.
Third generation • Single-molecule sequencing • no DNA amplification is involved • Helicos HeliScope • Pacific Biosciences SMRT • … • Longer reads • Roche/454 > 400bp • Illumina/Solexa > 100bp • Pacific Bioscience > 1000 bp and single molecule
Applications of next-generation sequencing Jay Shendure & Hanlee Ji, Nature Biotechnology 26, 1135 - 1145 (2008)
Analysis tasks • Base calling • Mapping to a reference genome • De novo or assisted genome assembly
