Elaine Mardis discusses next-generation sequencing technologies in her video, Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies (2016). She explains how these technologies work and how they are being used to improve genomic research. Mardis also discusses some of the limitations of these technologies, including short read lengths and the need for real-time monitoring of DNA polymerases.

00:00:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies have revolutionized biomedical inquiry by allowing for the simultaneous generation of large amounts of sequence data. Elaine Mardis discusses massively parallel sequencing and next-generation sequencing technologies.
00:05:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies require amplification of DNA fragments to allow detection by imaging optics or other detectors. The technologies are more sensitive than older sequencing instruments and allow sequencing of entire genomes in one run. Short read lengths limit the ability of sequencing to resolve specific gene expression values.
00:10:00 Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies (2016) - Elaine Mardis talks about the steps involved in sequencing a DNA sample, including fragmenting the DNA into small pieces, ligation of an adapter to the fragments, and PCR amplification to increase the number of fragments in the sequencing population. There are some potential problems with the amplification process, including preferential amplification and cluster formation. Elaine discusses how to mitigate these issues by using good algorithms to analyze the alignment of the reads and eliminating duplicate reads.
00:15:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies have improved in sensitivity and the ability to subset the genome for exome sequencing. Hybrid capture techniques are used to isolate DNA fragments from a library mixture and sequence them. This process can be done with whole genome sequencing libraries and DNA/DNA or DNA/RNA probe hybridizations. Hybrid capture can be used to sequence up to four hundred megabases of DNA.
00:20:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of entire genomes or subsets of genomes without the need for off-target sequencing. This is done by designing primers that target specific regions of the genome, and then performing PCR amplification. Once the amplification is complete, the library fragments are hybridized to a silicone surface and then sequenced.
00:25:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies involve the use of fluorophores that are specific for the identity of the nucleotide, and the use of blockers to prevent the incorporation of multiple nucleotides at a time. The limitation of these technologies is that they are limited by the amount of signal that can be produced by the sequencing, and over time noise can become equal to the signal and the ability to identify which nucleotide was incorporated into a fragment is lost.
00:30:00 The Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies (2016) video by Elaine Mardis covers Illumina's HiSeq X and Ion Torrent systems, which are high-throughput sequencing instruments that can sequence a human genome in 24 hours. The accuracy of Illumina's sequencing is high, and the Proton system is more powerful.
00:35:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies can be used to sequence longer reads than traditional sequencing technologies, which allows for more accurate identification of variants. Short read sequencing is particularly useful for identifying chromosomal translocations and other complicated sequences in genomes.
00:40:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the identification of variants in a genome. Variants can be identified through coverage, quality scores, and variants present in tumor and normal genomes. Coverage is evaluated through comparisons to other data types, such as autoradiograms and chromatograms from past experiments.
00:45:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies offer increased mapping rates for exomes and reduced duplication rates for genomes. Duplication rates tend to be higher for exome sequencing because it is less of the unique set of molecules. Improved resolution is possible with exome sequencing, but copy number variation is difficult to detect. False positives are more important in clinical settings where lack of coverage is the most common issue. Third-generation sequencing technologies, such as single molecule real-time sequencing, allow for real-time monitoring of DNA polymerases as they create new strands.
00:50:00 Next-generation sequencing technologies read out genomic DNA base by base, generating sequence reads up to 30,000 base pairs long. This is different from short read sequencing technologies which align reads back to a human reference genome. The long read sequencing technology produces haploid high quality human genomes from diploid individuals from different populations.
00:55:00 New sequencing technologies are being developed that will help resolve gaps in the human genome. The technologies include PacBio sequencing, de novo assembly of PacBio reads, BioNano mapping of the human reference genome, and Oxford Nanopore sequencing.
