 **Mate-Pairing** - The chances of damage to DNA increases with time. Hence, there is a high possibility of not getting the accurate sequence data from the other end of DNA. To avoid this, the Mate-Pairing process involves the determination of sequence of DNA from the end towards the beginning and then from the beginning towards the end.\\ **Mate-Pairing** - The chances of damage to DNA increases with time.

-==== Alternative Notes ==== 
- 
-=== High Level Overview === 
- 
-The high level sequencing workflow for all next gen tools is as follows: ​ 
-Fragment Sample -> Amplify Fragments -> Sequence Fragments 
- 
-There are two main flavors of next generation sequencing technology: 
-  * Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) 
-  * Hybridization 
- 
-=== Examination of Individual Technologies === 
- 
-There are four technologies that were talked about today. 
-  * Pyrosequencing (454) 
-  * solid 
-  * Illumina/​solexa 
-  * Ion Torrent

-You must get the ammount ​of template on the beads just right. Must be all the same type. If too much template is present the read length is shortened (not sure why). If too few template is on the beads then the washing step will take away a significant amount of template and you won't have enough of a signal.+You must get the amount ​of template on the beads just right.

 The packing beads that are placed around the bead which holds the template strands in the individual wells on the plate are what hold the various enzymes (other than the polymerase) needed for the reaction. The packing beads that are placed around the bead which holds the template strands in the individual wells on the plate are what hold the various enzymes (other than the polymerase) needed for the reaction.

-Works very similarly to pyrosequencing,​ except rather than requiring light from luciferase enzymes it takes advantage of the proton that is released when a nucleotide is added to a template. It measures this electric current. The presense ​of a current over a certain template when a specific nucleotide is added to solution tells you that that nucleotide was added to that template. The level of current at a template tells you the number of nucleotides that were added in that run.+Works very similarly to pyrosequencing,​ except rather than requiring light from luciferase enzymes it takes advantage of the proton that is released when a nucleotide is added to a template.
