Human Genome • 3 billion bases arrayed in a unique order, • with ~20,000 genes that direct the synthesis of all the proteins • ~1/1,000,000th of the Human Genome • Polymorphisms or SNPs which differ between people • May influence traits • Possible medical importance
History of DNA Sequencing • 1st Generation = Sanger Sequencing • 2 reads (forward & reverse) • 2nd Generation = Next Generation Sequencing • Millions of reads • 3rd Generation = Single Molecule Sequencing
Applications in Medicine-Infectious diesease • Clinical Test for TB Patient • Take a sputum sample • Begin culture • ID drug susceptibility ID by NGS
Broad Applications • Paternity testing • Wildlife conservation • Herbal supplement validation • Ancestral migration patterns • Origins of traditional medicine
Portable Sequencer (MinION) • Pocket-sized, portable device for biological analysis • Up to 512 nanoporechannels • Simple 10-min sample prep available • Real-time analysis for rapid, efficient workflows • Adaptable to direct DNA or RNA sequencing
