Problems solved by technology

However, despite more than 20 years of development, gene sequencing technology is still unable to enter the lives of ordinary people. The reason is that single-molecule sequencing technology has not yet broken through its technical bottleneck and has become practical

Embodiment 1

[0041] A single-molecule DNA sequencing technology based on high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, including the following steps:

[0042] 1. Preparation of single-atom labeling solution

[0043] 101. The single-atom markers should be heavy metal salts with different atomic numbers, and the purity should be above 99.9% when dried. Dissolve metal salts in 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH=7.4), at least three heavy metal salt solutions with different atomic numbers should be prepared, and four are used in this example, namely silver nitrate, gold perchlorate, and uranyl acetate , Chromium chlorate, respectively used to label oligonucleotides with four different bases.

[0044] 102. Modification of DNA oligonucleotides: Dilute the above four kinds of salt solutions with 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH=7.4) to 0.1mmol / L, four kinds of dNTPs (dA, dT, dC, dG) or their single The oligomer solution of the body was diluted to 0.2mmol / L (excess relative to the marker). The four markers...

Embodiment 2

[0054] Method is with reference to embodiment 1, but changes as follows:

[0055] 101. Use three heavy metal salt solutions with different atomic numbers, namely silver nitrate, gold perchlorate, and uranyl acetate to label A / T / G oligonucleotides, and base C is not labeled;

[0056] 102.dC is directly diluted to 0.1mmol / L with phosphate buffer solution with pH=7.4, without further labeling—elution process;

[0057] 301. Change to low-temperature baking method below 50 degrees Celsius for TEM sample preparation;

[0058] 401. Use the TEM imaging mode to first form a bright field image (BF-TEM), and then use the characteristic X-spectrum (EDS-Mapping) method to perform three characteristic element spectrum imaging of the area of ​​interest; for the illumination field image, fusion In the obtained 3 spectra, the positions of the labeled atoms are sequentially recorded, and the vacancies represent the unlabeled C bases in the sequence, and the sequence information of the DNA frag...

Embodiment 3

[0060] Method is with reference to embodiment 1, but changes as follows:

[0061] 401. Use the TEM imaging mode to form a bright field image first, and then use the electron energy loss spectrum (EELS-Mapping) method to perform 4 characteristic element spectrum imaging of the area of ​​interest; for the illumination field image, the fusion obtained 4 Create a spectrogram and sequentially record the positions of the labeled atoms to obtain the sequence information of the DNA fragment to be tested.

Abstract

The invention discloses a sequencing method of a single DNA molecule based on high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The sequencing method includes using a single atom or some atoms of a heavy element marker to mark a nucleotide single copy sequence and adopting a high-resolution transmission electron microscope to perform image formation and result analysis. The sequencing method of a single DNA molecule based on the high-resolution TEM marked by a single atom becomes a simple, feasible and moderate-cost single molecule sequencing technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a single-molecule DNA sequencing method based on high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Background technique [0002] In 2002, through more than ten years of cooperative research by six countries, humans obtained the first set of human genetic material——DNA sequence map, which announced that humans have officially entered the post-genome era. The determination of human's own DNA sequence map plays an irreplaceable role in other technologies in the fields of health prediction, disease diagnosis, and personalized medicine, and will soon have an increasingly extensive and far-reaching impact on human survival and reproduction. [0003] As of 2014, the development of DNA sequence detection technology (referred to as sequencing) can be roughly divided into three generations. The first-generation sequencing technology is based on the Sanger chemical termination method and large-scale cloning technology, which has the adva...
