Metabarcoding
= mass-trapping + mass-PCR-amplification + NGS +
bioinformatics
Parallel acquisition of DNA barcode sequences
(SHORT FRAGMENTS!!!) from hundreds of
specimens simultaneously
Standardised collection and lab techniques
INSECT
SORTING
ILLUMINA HTS
BULK PCR
NGS Machines
Conventional
platform
Higher sequencing
throughput
Illumina Hiseq, SoLiD
Benchtop platform
More suitable for
targeted sequencing
Illumina MiSeq, Ion
Torrent PGM, Roche454, PacBio
NGS Workflow
Workflow is divided into 4 parts:
Library preparation
Collection of DNA fragments of interest, PCR,
attachment of adapters and MIDs
Template preparation
Preparing fragments for sequencing
Sequencing
By synthesis of complementary strand
Bioinformatics
Library Preparation
Template Preparation
Prepare many identical copies from single
fragment ensure sufficient signal is generated
during sequencing
Bridge amplification
(Illumina)
Cluster generation
Sequencing
By synthesis of the complementary strand
Mediated by polymerase/ligase
Cycle of sequencing flow:
Flow of nucleotides(nt)/reagents
Incorporate nt
Signal capture
Methods
MID tagging
b) Targeted region
Size of region (e.g. 200 bp)
c) Sample multiplexing
Number of different samples to be run in the same chip
MIDs added to each sample so they can be distingushed
and sorted during data analysis
