Séquençage de l'ADNcadre|Résultat du séquençage par la méthode de Sanger. L'ordre de chaque bande indique la position d'un nucléotide A,T,C ou G Le séquençage de l'ADN consiste à déterminer l'ordre d'enchaînement des nucléotides pour un fragment d’ADN donné. La séquence d’ADN contient l’information nécessaire aux êtres vivants pour survivre et se reproduire. Déterminer cette séquence est donc utile aussi bien pour les recherches visant à savoir comment vivent les organismes que pour des sujets appliqués.
Sanger sequencingSanger sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing that involves electrophoresis and is based on the random incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication. After first being developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977, it became the most widely used sequencing method for approximately 40 years. It was first commercialized by Applied Biosystems in 1986. More recently, higher volume Sanger sequencing has been replaced by next generation sequencing methods, especially for large-scale, automated genome analyses.
Massive parallel sequencingMassive parallel sequencing or massively parallel sequencing is any of several high-throughput approaches to DNA sequencing using the concept of massively parallel processing; it is also called next-generation sequencing (NGS) or second-generation sequencing. Some of these technologies emerged between 1993 and 1998 and have been commercially available since 2005. These technologies use miniaturized and parallelized platforms for sequencing of 1 million to 43 billion short reads (50 to 400 bases each) per instrument run.
Séquençage shotgunEn génétique, le séquençage shotgun (littéralement séquençage "fusil de chasse") est une méthode utilisée pour séquencer des brins d'ADN aléatoires. On l'appelle ainsi par analogie avec le modèle de tir quasi-aléatoire en pleine expansion d'un fusil de chasse : cette métaphore illustre le caractère aléatoire de la fragmentation initiale de l'ADN génomique où l'on "arrose" tout le génome, un peu comme se dispersent les plombs de ce type d'arme à feu.
Whole genome sequencingWhole genome sequencing (WGS), also known as full genome sequencing, complete genome sequencing, or entire genome sequencing, is the process of determining the entirety, or nearly the entirety, of the DNA sequence of an organism's genome at a single time. This entails sequencing all of an organism's chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in the mitochondria and, for plants, in the chloroplast. Whole genome sequencing has largely been used as a research tool, but was being introduced to clinics in 2014.
SéquençageEn biochimie, le séquençage consiste à déterminer l'ordre linéaire des composants d'une macromolécule (les acides aminés d'une protéine, les nucléotides d'un acide nucléique comme l'ADN, les monosaccharides d'un polysaccharide, etc.). En génétique, le séquençage concerne la détermination de la séquence des gènes voire des chromosomes, voire du génome complet, ce qui techniquement revient à effectuer le séquençage de l'ADN constituant ces gènes ou ces chromosomes.
Exome sequencingExome sequencing, also known as whole exome sequencing (WES), is a genomic technique for sequencing all of the protein-coding regions of genes in a genome (known as the exome). It consists of two steps: the first step is to select only the subset of DNA that encodes proteins. These regions are known as exons—humans have about 180,000 exons, constituting about 1% of the human genome, or approximately 30 million base pairs. The second step is to sequence the exonic DNA using any high-throughput DNA sequencing technology.
Semiconductor fabrication plantIn the microelectronics industry, a semiconductor fabrication plant (commonly called a fab; sometimes foundry) is a factory for semiconductor device fabrication. Fabs require many expensive devices to function. Estimates put the cost of building a new fab over one billion U.S. dollars with values as high as 3–4billionnotbeinguncommon.TSMCinvested9.3 billion in its Fab15 300 mm wafer manufacturing facility in Taiwan. The same company estimations suggest that their future fab might cost $20 billion. Fabrication des dispositifs à semi-conducteursthumb|upright=1.5|Évolution de la finesse de gravure des processeurs entre 1970 et 2017 La fabrication des dispositifs à semi-conducteur englobe les différentes opérations permettant l'élaboration de composants électroniques basés sur des matériaux semi-conducteurs. Entrent dans cette catégorie de composants à semi-conducteur, les composants discrets qui n'ont qu'une seule fonction comme les diodes et les transistors, et les circuits intégrés plus complexes, intégrant plusieurs composants, jusqu'à des milliards, dans le même boîtier.
Multigate deviceA multigate device, multi-gate MOSFET or multi-gate field-effect transistor (MuGFET) refers to a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) that has more than one gate on a single transistor. The multiple gates may be controlled by a single gate electrode, wherein the multiple gate surfaces act electrically as a single gate, or by independent gate electrodes. A multigate device employing independent gate electrodes is sometimes called a multiple-independent-gate field-effect transistor (MIGFET).
