Answer #1

The methods used in next generation sequencing(NGS) are:

  • Illumina(Solexa) sequencing
  • Roche 454 sequencing
  • Ion Torrent: Proton/PGM sequencing

In illumina sequencing, it works by simultaneously identifying DNA bases. This is possible as each base emits a unique florescent signal. Now these are added to a nucleic acid chain and sequenced.

In Roche 454 sequencing, which is based on pyrosequencing which is a technique which dtetects pyrophosphate release. Here we are using the florescence, after nucleotides are incorporated by polymerase to a new strand of DNA.

Ion Torrent sequencing measures the H+ ions which are released directly by the incorporation of individual bases by DNA polymerase. It is different from the previous two methods because it does not measure light.
