Helicos single molecule fluorescent sequencing
The Helicos Genetic Analysis System platform was the first commercial NGS (Next Generation
Sequencing) implementation to use the principle of single molecule fluorescent sequencing, a
method of identifying the exact sequence of a piece of DNA. It was marketed by the now
defunct Helicos Biosciences.
The fragments of DNA molecules are first hybridized in place on disposable glass flow cells.
Fluorescent nucleotides are then added one-by-one, with a terminating nucleotide used to pause
the process until an image has been captured. From the image, one nucleotide from each DNA
sequence can be determined. The fluorescent molecule is then cut away, and the process is
repeated until the fragments have been completely sequenced
This sequencing method and equipment were used to sequence the genome of the M13
bacteriophage.
Preparing the DNA
Fragmenting the DNA
The Helicos Genetic Analysis System is capable of sequencing nucleic acids, from several
nucleotides to several thousand nucleotides. However, the yield of sequences per unit mass is
dependent on the number of 3’ end hydroxyl groups, and thus having relatively short templates
for sequencing is more efficient than having long templates. Helicos recommends a length less
than 1000nt (nucleotides), optimally about 100-200nt. Long fragments can be cleaved by
shearing the DNA (the recommended approach), or restriction enzymes. Short fragments are
removed to improve yield
Tailing
DNA samples are hybridized to a primer immobilized on a flow cell for sequencing, so it is
usually necessary to generate a nucleic acid with an end compatible for hybridization to those
surfaces. The target sequence attached to the flow cell surface could, in theory, be any sequence
which can be synthesized, but, in practice, the standard commercially available flow cell is
oligo(dT)50. To be compatible with the oligo(dT)50 primer on the flow cell surface, it is
necessary to generate a poly(dA) tail of at least 50 nt at the 3’ end of the molecule to be
sequenced. Because the fill and lock step will fill in excess A’s but not excess T’s, it is desirable
for the A tail to be at least as long as oligo(dT) on the surface. Generation of a 3’ poly(dA) tail
can be accomplished with a variety of different ligases or polymerases. If there is sufficient DNA
to measure both mass and average length, it is possible to determine the proper amount
of dATP to be added to generate poly(dA) tails 90 to 200 nucleotides long. To generate tails of
this length, it is first necessary to estimate how many 3’ ends there are in the sample and then use
the right ratio of DNA, dATP, and terminal transferase to obtain the optimal size range of tails.
Blocking
If the tailed DNA targeted for sequencing is hybridized to the flow cell directly after tailing, it
would have a free 3’ hydroxyl that could be extended in the sequencing reaction just like the
surface-bound primer and potentially confuse the sequence determination. Thus, prior to
sequencing, it is also necessary to block the 3’ ends of the molecules to be sequenced. Any 3’
end treatment that makes the molecule unsuitable for extension can be used. Typically, tailed
molecules are blocked using terminal transferase and a dideoxynucleotide, but any treatment that
leaves a 3’ phosphate or other modification that prevents extension can be similarly effective
DNA sequencing
Sample loading
The single molecule fluorescent sequencing is carried out on a glass flow cell with 25 channels
for the same or different samples. The system can be run with either one or two flow cells at a
time. In the standard configuration, each channel is equivalent and holds approximately 8 μl.
Samples are generally loaded with higher volume (usually 20 μl or more) to ensure even
hybridization along the length of the flow cell. Samples are inserted into the flow cell via the
sample loader included with the overall system. Each channel is individually addressable, and
sample is applied using a vacuum. Hybridization to the flow cell is typically carried out at 55◦C
for 1 hr
Filling and locking
Generally, samples for sequencing are prepared in such a way that the poly(A) tail is longer than
the oligo(dT)50 on the surface of the flow cell. To avoid sequencing the unpaired A residues, a
fill and lock treatment is needed. After hybridization, the temperature is lowered to 37◦C, and
then dTTP and Virtual Terminator nucleotides [3] corresponding to dATP, dCTP, and dGTP are
added along with DNA polymerase. Virtual terminator nucleotides incorporate opposite the
complementary base and prevent further incorporation because of the chemical structure
appended to the nucleotide. Thus, all of the unpaired dAs present in the poly(A) tail are filled in
with TTP. The hybridized molecule is locked in place when the polymerase encounters the first
non-A residue and inserts the appropriate virtual terminator nucleotide. Because every DNA
molecule should now have a dye attached, an image will include all molecules capable of
nucleotide incorporation. Also, because the label could correspond to any base, no sequence
information is obtained at this stage. Thus, for most molecules, sequencing commences with the
second base of the original molecule
Sequencing
Chemistry cycle
In order to sequence the hybridized DNAs, it is first necessary to cleave off the fluorescent dye
and terminator moieties present on the virtual terminator nucleotides. The current generation of
nucleotides is synthesized with a disulfide linkage that can be rapidly and completely cleaved.
Following cleavage, the now-separated fluorescent dyes are washed away and then
new polymerase and a single fluorescent nucleotide are added. After excitation of the fluorescent
moiety by the system laser, another image is taken, and, on a standard sequencing run, this cyclic
process is repeated 120 times. The number of sequencing cycles is user adjustable and can be
modified depending on user needs for run time and length of read. During a standard run, two
25-channel flow cells are used, with each flow cell alternating between the chemistry cycle and
the imaging cycle.
Imaging cycle
During the imaging process, four lasers illuminate 1100 Fields of View (FOV) per channel with
pictures taken by four CCD (Charge-coupled device) cameras via a confocal microscope.
Though single molecules are visualized, multiple photon emissions are registered for each
molecule, with the time spent at each FOV dependent on the brightness of the dye in the
particular nucleotide as well as camera speed and detection efficiency. At the present time, the
imaging process is the rate-determining step, and run time could be reduced at the expense of
throughput by reducing the number of FOV per channel.
THROUGHPUT
Under optimal conditions, for a standard 120-cycle, 1100 field-of view run, 12,000,000 to
20,000,000 reads that are 25 nucleotides or longer and align to the reference genome should be
expected from each channel, for a total of up to 1,000,000,000 aligned reads and 35 Gb of
sequence from each run. A full run takes up to 8 days to complete.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
 The single molecule sequencing strategy simplifies the DNA sample preparation process,
avoids PCR-induced bias and errors, simplifies data analysis and tolerates degraded samples
 Because the process is halted between each extension step, the time to sequence a single
nucleotide is high, and the read lengths realized are 32 nucleotides long.
 The error rate is high due to noise. This can be overcome with repetitive sequencing, but
increases the cost per base for a given accuracy rate, offsetting some of the gains from lower
reagent costs. The raw read error rates are generally at 0.5%, although the highly parallel
nature of this technology can deliver high fold coverage and a consensus or finished read
accuracy of .99%

Helicos single molecule fluorescent sequencing

  • 1. Helicos single molecule fluorescent sequencing The Helicos Genetic Analysis System platform was the first commercial NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) implementation to use the principle of single molecule fluorescent sequencing, a method of identifying the exact sequence of a piece of DNA. It was marketed by the now defunct Helicos Biosciences. The fragments of DNA molecules are first hybridized in place on disposable glass flow cells. Fluorescent nucleotides are then added one-by-one, with a terminating nucleotide used to pause the process until an image has been captured. From the image, one nucleotide from each DNA sequence can be determined. The fluorescent molecule is then cut away, and the process is repeated until the fragments have been completely sequenced This sequencing method and equipment were used to sequence the genome of the M13 bacteriophage. Preparing the DNA Fragmenting the DNA The Helicos Genetic Analysis System is capable of sequencing nucleic acids, from several nucleotides to several thousand nucleotides. However, the yield of sequences per unit mass is dependent on the number of 3’ end hydroxyl groups, and thus having relatively short templates for sequencing is more efficient than having long templates. Helicos recommends a length less than 1000nt (nucleotides), optimally about 100-200nt. Long fragments can be cleaved by shearing the DNA (the recommended approach), or restriction enzymes. Short fragments are removed to improve yield Tailing DNA samples are hybridized to a primer immobilized on a flow cell for sequencing, so it is usually necessary to generate a nucleic acid with an end compatible for hybridization to those surfaces. The target sequence attached to the flow cell surface could, in theory, be any sequence which can be synthesized, but, in practice, the standard commercially available flow cell is oligo(dT)50. To be compatible with the oligo(dT)50 primer on the flow cell surface, it is necessary to generate a poly(dA) tail of at least 50 nt at the 3’ end of the molecule to be sequenced. Because the fill and lock step will fill in excess A’s but not excess T’s, it is desirable for the A tail to be at least as long as oligo(dT) on the surface. Generation of a 3’ poly(dA) tail can be accomplished with a variety of different ligases or polymerases. If there is sufficient DNA to measure both mass and average length, it is possible to determine the proper amount of dATP to be added to generate poly(dA) tails 90 to 200 nucleotides long. To generate tails of this length, it is first necessary to estimate how many 3’ ends there are in the sample and then use the right ratio of DNA, dATP, and terminal transferase to obtain the optimal size range of tails. Blocking If the tailed DNA targeted for sequencing is hybridized to the flow cell directly after tailing, it would have a free 3’ hydroxyl that could be extended in the sequencing reaction just like the surface-bound primer and potentially confuse the sequence determination. Thus, prior to
  • 2. sequencing, it is also necessary to block the 3’ ends of the molecules to be sequenced. Any 3’ end treatment that makes the molecule unsuitable for extension can be used. Typically, tailed molecules are blocked using terminal transferase and a dideoxynucleotide, but any treatment that leaves a 3’ phosphate or other modification that prevents extension can be similarly effective DNA sequencing Sample loading The single molecule fluorescent sequencing is carried out on a glass flow cell with 25 channels for the same or different samples. The system can be run with either one or two flow cells at a time. In the standard configuration, each channel is equivalent and holds approximately 8 μl. Samples are generally loaded with higher volume (usually 20 μl or more) to ensure even hybridization along the length of the flow cell. Samples are inserted into the flow cell via the sample loader included with the overall system. Each channel is individually addressable, and sample is applied using a vacuum. Hybridization to the flow cell is typically carried out at 55◦C for 1 hr Filling and locking Generally, samples for sequencing are prepared in such a way that the poly(A) tail is longer than the oligo(dT)50 on the surface of the flow cell. To avoid sequencing the unpaired A residues, a fill and lock treatment is needed. After hybridization, the temperature is lowered to 37◦C, and then dTTP and Virtual Terminator nucleotides [3] corresponding to dATP, dCTP, and dGTP are added along with DNA polymerase. Virtual terminator nucleotides incorporate opposite the complementary base and prevent further incorporation because of the chemical structure appended to the nucleotide. Thus, all of the unpaired dAs present in the poly(A) tail are filled in with TTP. The hybridized molecule is locked in place when the polymerase encounters the first non-A residue and inserts the appropriate virtual terminator nucleotide. Because every DNA molecule should now have a dye attached, an image will include all molecules capable of nucleotide incorporation. Also, because the label could correspond to any base, no sequence information is obtained at this stage. Thus, for most molecules, sequencing commences with the second base of the original molecule Sequencing Chemistry cycle In order to sequence the hybridized DNAs, it is first necessary to cleave off the fluorescent dye and terminator moieties present on the virtual terminator nucleotides. The current generation of nucleotides is synthesized with a disulfide linkage that can be rapidly and completely cleaved. Following cleavage, the now-separated fluorescent dyes are washed away and then new polymerase and a single fluorescent nucleotide are added. After excitation of the fluorescent moiety by the system laser, another image is taken, and, on a standard sequencing run, this cyclic process is repeated 120 times. The number of sequencing cycles is user adjustable and can be modified depending on user needs for run time and length of read. During a standard run, two 25-channel flow cells are used, with each flow cell alternating between the chemistry cycle and the imaging cycle.
  • 3. Imaging cycle During the imaging process, four lasers illuminate 1100 Fields of View (FOV) per channel with pictures taken by four CCD (Charge-coupled device) cameras via a confocal microscope. Though single molecules are visualized, multiple photon emissions are registered for each molecule, with the time spent at each FOV dependent on the brightness of the dye in the particular nucleotide as well as camera speed and detection efficiency. At the present time, the imaging process is the rate-determining step, and run time could be reduced at the expense of throughput by reducing the number of FOV per channel.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES  The single molecule sequencing strategy simplifies the DNA sample preparation process, avoids PCR-induced bias and errors, simplifies data analysis and tolerates degraded samples  Because the process is halted between each extension step, the time to sequence a single nucleotide is high, and the read lengths realized are 32 nucleotides long.  The error rate is high due to noise. This can be overcome with repetitive sequencing, but increases the cost per base for a given accuracy rate, offsetting some of the gains from lower reagent costs. The raw read error rates are generally at 0.5%, although the highly parallel nature of this technology can deliver high fold coverage and a consensus or finished read accuracy of .99%
