Abstract
Description
Nucleotide derivative and its application Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of gene sequencing technology, and specifically relates to a nucleotide derivative and its application. Background Art
[0002] Since the launch of the Human Genome Project in 1990, gene sequencing technology has undergone continuous advancements. First-generation sequencing (NGS) is a DNA sequencing method pioneered by Sanger and Coulson in the 1970s using the dideoxy chain termination method, also known as Sanger sequencing. DNA sequencing is achieved by incorporating fluorescently labeled ddNTPs to block the 3-terminal hydroxyl group. With read lengths up to 1000 base pairs and an accuracy of 99.999%, it is considered the gold standard in sequencing. However, its high cost and low throughput have severely limited the large-scale commercial application of Sanger sequencing. Furthermore, the rise of second-generation sequencing (NGS) has further squeezed the application of Sanger sequencing. Second-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), achieves large-scale, high-throughput sequencing and is currently the most mainstream sequencing technology. In recent years, third- and fourth-generation sequencing technologies have been developed, enabling single-molecule real-time sequencing and identifying structural base variations. These technologies have broad application scenarios, but their development is still immature and their high error rates and costs have limited widespread adoption.
[0003] The characteristics of next-generation sequencing are speed, accuracy, and high throughput. By modifying the nucleotide structure, DNA polymerase can recognize deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTPs) derivatives modified with recognition signal groups and integrate them into the nucleic acid chain. Each modified dNTP base carries a fluorescent tag that allows for chain cleavage and a cleavable protecting group (such as an N3, vinyl group, or a disulfide bond) at the 3'-OH end. This base derivative is also called a fluorescently labeled reversible terminator nucleotide. Different nucleotides are labeled with different fluorescent markers, and the fluorescent signal can be used to determine the base sequence of the DNA. Accurate sequencing by synthesis (SBS) is achieved by amplifying the fluorescent signal of the sequencing base using PCR amplification of the template chain. However, SBS sequencing also has an unresolved pain point that affects sequencing read length. After cleaving the fluorophore, the reversible terminator nucleotide analogs currently developed for SBS sequencing still leave a small molecular group, also known as a molecular scar, on the base (such as the ethylene glycol-modified propargyl amino group, as shown in Figure 1). This residual molecular scar accumulates on the newly formed DNA duplex as sequencing proceeds. Once accumulated to a certain extent, these residues may affect the stability and secondary structure of the DNA double helix, hindering DNA polymerase recognition and terminating the chain growth reaction, thereby limiting sequencing read length.
[0004] Therefore, developing a molecular scar-free nucleotide for sequencing can effectively solve the pain points of second-generation sequencing, expand its application scenarios, and further reduce sequencing costs.
