The Ion Proton system is a fast short read sequencer that generates 60-80 million reads in a 2.5h run using a semiconductor chip that measures the proton released when a nucleotide is incorporated into DNA strand. Library molecules are amplified on to a small sphere during emPCR that is then deposited in a chip well.
What is pyrosequencing used for?
Pyrosequencing is used to reveal the genetic code of a section of DNA. It is also able to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertion-deletions or other sequence variations, in addition to being able to quantify DNA methylation and allele frequency.
What can you use NGS for?
NGS can be used to sequence entire genomesentire genomesThe first organism to have its entire genome sequenced was Haemophilus influenzae in 1995. After it, the genomes of other bacteria and some archaea were first sequenced, largely due to their small genome size. H. influenzae has a genome of 1,830,140 base pairs of DNA.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Whole_genome_sequencingWhole genome sequencing - Wikipedia or constrained to specific areas of interest, including all 22 000 coding genes (a whole exome) or small numbers of individual genes. Example of next generation sequencing (NGS) raw data-BRAF V600E mutation in melanoma.
How does Roche 454 sequencing work?
How does 454 DNA sequencing work? The DNA is broken up into fragments of around 400 to 600 base pairs? using restriction enzymes ?that 'cut' the DNA at specific points. Short sequences of DNA called adaptors?, are attached to the DNA fragments. Tiny resin beads are added to the mix.
How does sequencing by synthesis work?

How does massive parallel sequencing work?
The term “Massively Parallel Sequencing” is used to describe the method of high-throughput DNA sequencing to determine the entire genomic sequence of a person or organism. This method processes millions of reads, or DNA sequences, in parallel instead of processing single amplicons that generate a consensus sequence.
What is the major difficulty associated with massively parallel sequencing of repetitive sequences?
The short reads of most current massively parallel sequencing platforms limit their ability to map structural variants to the single-base-pair level because many short segments occur more than once in the genome and cannot be mapped uniquely.
When was massively parallel sequencing created?
Massive parallel sequencing, or next-generation sequencing (NGS), became commercially available in 2005. There are several iterations of the technology, but in general, DNA is minced up to generate short fragments that are then widely distributed across glass surfaces.
Who invented massively parallel sequencing?
The technology on which the 454 sequencing technique is based was patented in 1989 by Melamede 31. The GS FLX from 454 Life Sciences (later on Roche), the first NGS technique on the market, is based on pyrosequencing.
