  1. Sanger and Maxam-Gilbert Sequencing Cindy Wang IGSP Center for Genome Ethics, Law & Policy July 28, 2005

  2. Sanger Method • Chain termination method • Single-chain • Instruments: • Primer (denatured, radioactively labeled restriction enzyme) • DNA • Dideoxyribonucleotides (ddNTP) • Dioxyribonucleotides (dNTP)

  3. Relevant History:1950’s and 1960’s • Chris Anfinsen (1954) • Radioactive labeling • Frances Crick (1962) • Conversion to sequencing • Brownlee and Barrell (1965) • Radioactive labeling of small oligonucleotides • C. Weissmann (1969) • RNA copying

  4. Relevant History: 1970’s • Nathans, Arber and Smith (1970): Restriction enzymes • Hans Kosel (1970): Synthesize DNA primers • Wu and Kaiser (1971): DNA copying • Herb Boyer (1972): EcoR1 • Sanger and Coulson (1975): Plus and minus method

  11. Patent Citation Trends

  12. M-G Patents • Maxam: • 1979 patent on gel electrophoresis apparatus • Gilbert: • 1982 patent on mature protein synthesis • 1983 patent on protein synthesis • 1986 patent on recombinant DNA molecule • 1990 patent on peptides in HIV pathogenesis • 1991 patent on peptides in HIV pathogenesis

  13. Analysis • Why patent/not patent? Does it matter? • Policies: Compare with PCR • Institutional environment • Political environment • Social factors • Gordon conferences • Colleagues
