TL;DR: A technical review of template preparation, sequencing and imaging, genome alignment and assembly approaches, and recent advances in current and near-term commercially available NGS instruments is presented.
Abstract: Demand has never been greater for revolutionary technologies that deliver fast, inexpensive and accurate genome information. This challenge has catalysed the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. The inexpensive production of large volumes of sequence data is the primary advantage over conventional methods. Here, I present a technical review of template preparation, sequencing and imaging, genome alignment and assembly approaches, and recent advances in current and near-term commercially available NGS instruments. I also outline the broad range of applications for NGS technologies, in addition to providing guidelines for platform selection to address biological questions of interest.

DNA sequencing is one of the most important platforms for
study in biological systems today. The high-throughput-next
generation sequencing technologies delivers fast,
inexpensive, and accurate genome information. Next
generation sequencing can produce over 100 times more data
than methods based on Sanger Sequencing. The next
generation sequencing technologies offered from Illumina /
Solexa, ABI/SOLiD, 454/Roche, and Helicos has provided
unprecedented opportunity for high–throughput functional
genomic research. Next generation sequence technologies
offer novel and rapid ways for genome-wide characterization
and profiling of mRNAs, transcription factor regions, and DNA
patterns.

that is a part of Roche and based in Branford, Connecticut.
The center develops ultra-fast high-throughput DNA
sequencing methods and tools.
Illumina/Solexa– Illumina is a company that develops and
manufactures integrated systems for the analysis of gene
variation. Solexa was founded to develop genome
sequencing technology.
ABI/SOLiD - (Sequencing by Oligonucleotide Ligation and
Detection) is a next-generation DNA sequencing technology
developed by Life Technologies and has been commercially
available since 2006. This next generation technology
generates hundreds of millions to billions of small sequence
reads at one time.
Helicos - Helicos's technology images the extension of
individual DNA molecules using a defined primer and
individual fluorescently labeled nucleotides, which contain a

Fig. 8) This is a plot of the coverage of each Contig. BLAST points are blue,
MUMmer points are red.
Using the coverage of
each individual contig
ID, the results for both
BLAST and MUMmer
were plotted. While
BLAST hit more contigs,
there are more contigs
with a higher coverage
that were hit by
MUMmer.
Using the data gathered
from both BLAST and
MUMmer, the frequency
of the amount covered
for each contig was
plotted. From Fig 6), it
can be inferred that
MUMmer hit more
accurately for contigs.
Fig 4) from main.g2.bx.psu.edu
Once the results were found using both the BLAST and
MUMmer search tools, we created a program to see which
sequencing tool had the most hits per contig. The total
number of contigs in the database file is 160,749 and the
total number of nodes in the query file is 552,305. BLAST
returned a total of 123,070 hits and MUMmer returned a
total of 121,829 hits. From the results, MUMmer hit more
accurately than BLAST while BLAST hit more contigs than
MUMmer.
In Next-Generation Sequencing, data analysis is one of the
most expensive processes. While the cost of genome
sequencing goes down, the cost of analyzing data is still
expensive. In the future, the “$1,000 genome will come with
a $20,000 analysis price tag.”
The same process was
done with the Nodes.
From Fig 7), it can be
inferred that BLAST hit
more accurately with
nodes. However, there
are more BLAST results
with lower coverage.
The future of next generation sequencing can be broken
down into a variety of categories such as personalized
medicine, bio fuels, climate change, and other life science
fields.
Personalized Medicine is a medical model that proposes
the customization of medical decision to tailor an
individual
Bio Fuels present a source of alternative energy.
Microalgal biofuels use algae to synthesize the fuel. In
order to optimize the process, an understanding of the
gene-function relationship of algae would prove helpful.
Climate change is the active study of past and future
theoretical models which uses the past climate data to
make future projections.
In conclusion, we hope to contribute the knowledge we
have gained to contribute to fields such as these.
The same process was
done with the Nodes.
While BLAST hit more
Nodes, there are more
Nodes that hit with a
lower coverage using
BLAST.

Next Gen Sequencing uses a wide array of tools to obtain results based
on the genome sequence. The most widely used Tools are BLAST,
HMMER, and MUMmer.
BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is a multi-sequence
alignment tool developed by NIH (National Institute of Health). It is
used find similar regions in different sequences and then compare
their similarities.
MUMmer (Maximum Unique Matches) is a rapid alignment system
used for rapidly aligning entire genomes. It can also align incomplete
genomes and can easily handle 1000’s of contigs from a shotgun
sequencing project.
HMMER (Hidden Markov Modeler) is used for searching sequence
databases for homologs of protein sequences, and for making protein
sequence alignments. It implements methods using probabilistic
models called profile hidden Markov models (HMMs)
Genome Assembly
Sequence Analysis refers to
the process of subjecting a
DNA, RNA or peptide
sequence to a wide range of
analytical methods to:
Compare sequences to find
similarities and infer if they
are Homologous
To identify the features of
the sequence such as gene
structure, distribution,
introns and exons, and
regulation of gene
expression
Identify Sequence
differences and variations
such as mutations

TL;DR: Digital normalization is described, a single-pass computational algorithm that systematizes coverage in shotgun sequencing data sets, thereby decreasing sampling variation, discarding redundant data, and removing the majority of errors.
Abstract: Deep shotgun sequencing and analysis of genomes, transcriptomes, amplified single-cell genomes, and metagenomes has enabled investigation of a wide range of organisms and ecosystems. However, sampling variation in short-read data sets and high sequencing error rates of modern sequencers present many new computational challenges in data interpretation. These challenges have led to the development of new classes of mapping tools and {\em de novo} assemblers. These algorithms are challenged by the continued improvement in sequencing throughput. We here describe digital normalization, a single-pass computational algorithm that systematizes coverage in shotgun sequencing data sets, thereby decreasing sampling variation, discarding redundant data, and removing the majority of errors. Digital normalization substantially reduces the size of shotgun data sets and decreases the memory and time requirements for {\em de novo} sequence assembly, all without significantly impacting content of the generated contigs. We apply digital normalization to the assembly of microbial genomic data, amplified single-cell genomic data, and transcriptomic data. Our implementation is freely available for use and modification.

TL;DR: This work reviews studies centered on four central themes of laboratory evolution studies: the genetic basis of adaptation; the importance of mutations to genes that encode regulatory hubs; the view of adaptive evolution as an optimization process; and the dynamics with which laboratory populations evolve.
Abstract: Laboratory evolution studies provide fundamental biological insight through direct observation of the evolution process. They not only enable testing of evolutionary theory and principles, but also have applications to metabolic engineering and human health. Genome-scale tools are revolutionizing studies of laboratory evolution by providing complete determination of the genetic basis of adaptation and the changes in the organism's gene expression state. Here, we review studies centered on four central themes of laboratory evolution studies: (1) the genetic basis of adaptation; (2) the importance of mutations to genes that encode regulatory hubs; (3) the view of adaptive evolution as an optimization process; and (4) the dynamics with which laboratory populations evolve.

TL;DR: This review discusses the distinct types of ncRNAs, including housekeeping n cRNAs and regulatory nc RNAs, their versatile functions and interactions, transcription, translation, and modification, and summarizes the integrated networks of n cRNA interactions, providing a comprehensive landscape of nCRNAs regulatory roles.
Abstract: Eukaryotic genomes are pervasively transcribed. Besides protein-coding RNAs, there are different types of non-coding RNAs that modulate complex molecular and cellular processes. RNA sequencing technologies and bioinformatics methods greatly promoted the study of ncRNAs, which revealed ncRNAs' essential roles in diverse aspects of biological functions. As important key players in gene regulatory networks, ncRNAs work with other biomolecules, including coding and non-coding RNAs, DNAs and proteins. In this review, we discuss the distinct types of ncRNAs, including housekeeping ncRNAs and regulatory ncRNAs, their versatile functions and interactions, transcription, translation, and modification. Moreover, we summarize the integrated networks of ncRNA interactions, providing a comprehensive landscape of ncRNAs regulatory roles.

TL;DR: A comprehensive rat transcriptomic BodyMap is created by performing RNA-Seq on 320 samples from 11 organs of both sexes of juvenile, adolescent, adult and aged Fischer 344 rats, finding that organ-enriched, differentially expressed genes reflect the known organ-specific biological activities.
Abstract: The rat has been used extensively as a model for evaluating chemical toxicities and for understanding drug mechanisms. However, its transcriptome across multiple organs, or developmental stages, has not yet been reported. Here we show, as part of the SEQC consortium efforts, a comprehensive rat transcriptomic BodyMap created by performing RNA-Seq on 320 samples from 11 organs of both sexes of juvenile, adolescent, adult and aged Fischer 344 rats. We catalogue the expression profiles of 40,064 genes, 65,167 transcripts, 31,909 alternatively spliced transcript variants and 2,367 non-coding genes/non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) annotated in AceView. We find that organ-enriched, differentially expressed genes reflect the known organ-specific biological activities. A large number of transcripts show organ-specific, age-dependent or sex-specific differential expression patterns. We create a web-based, open-access rat BodyMap database of expression profiles with crosslinks to other widely used databases, anticipating that it will serve as a primary resource for biomedical research using the rat model.

TL;DR: The RNA-Seq approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods.
Abstract: RNA-Seq is a recently developed approach to transcriptome profiling that uses deep-sequencing technologies. Studies using this method have already altered our view of the extent and complexity of eukaryotic transcriptomes. RNA-Seq also provides a far more precise measurement of levels of transcripts and their isoforms than other methods. This article describes the RNA-Seq approach, the challenges associated with its application, and the advances made so far in characterizing several eukaryote transcriptomes.

TL;DR: Velvet represents a new approach to assembly that can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies and is in close agreement with simulated results without read-pair information.
Abstract: We have developed a new set of algorithms, collectively called "Velvet," to manipulate de Bruijn graphs for genomic sequence assembly. A de Bruijn graph is a compact representation based on short words (k-mers) that is ideal for high coverage, very short read (25-50 bp) data sets. Applying Velvet to very short reads and paired-ends information only, one can produce contigs of significant length, up to 50-kb N50 length in simulations of prokaryotic data and 3-kb N50 on simulated mammalian BACs. When applied to real Solexa data sets without read pairs, Velvet generated contigs of approximately 8 kb in a prokaryote and 2 kb in a mammalian BAC, in close agreement with our simulated results without read-pair information. Velvet represents a new approach to assembly that can leverage very short reads in combination with read pairs to produce useful assemblies.

TL;DR: A scalable, highly parallel sequencing system with raw throughput significantly greater than that of state-of-the-art capillary electrophoresis instruments with 96% coverage at 99.96% accuracy in one run of the machine is described.
Abstract: The proliferation of large-scale DNA-sequencing projects in recent years has driven a search for alternative methods to reduce time and cost. Here we describe a scalable, highly parallel sequencing system with raw throughput significantly greater than that of state-of-the-art capillary electrophoresis instruments. The apparatus uses a novel fibre-optic slide of individual wells and is able to sequence 25 million bases, at 99% or better accuracy, in one four-hour run. To achieve an approximately 100-fold increase in throughput over current Sanger sequencing technology, we have developed an emulsion method for DNA amplification and an instrument for sequencing by synthesis using a pyrosequencing protocol optimized for solid support and picolitre-scale volumes. Here we show the utility, throughput, accuracy and robustness of this system by shotgun sequencing and de novo assembly of the Mycoplasma genitalium genome with 96% coverage at 99.96% accuracy in one run of the machine.
