Pyrosequencing for microbial typing.
Pyrosequencing is a real-time DNA sequencing technique generating short reads rapidly and inexpensively. This technology has the potential advantage of accuracy, ease-of-use, high flexibility and is now emerging as a popular platform for microbial typing. Here, we review the methodology and the use of this technique for viral typing, bacterial typing, and fungal typing. In addition, we describe how to use multiplexing for accurate and rapid typing.

Multiplex Pyrosequencing.
We describe here the development of a new and simple single-tube multiplex Pyrosequencing assay. Genomic DNA or cDNA was employed to PCR amplify region(s) using biotinylated and normal primer(s). Subsequent to capture of PCR products on streptavidin-coated beads, single-stranded DNA separation and hybridization of multiple sequencing primers, Pyrosequencing was performed. The obtained pyrogram resulted in a unique pattern in which the intensity of the signal determined the number of incorporated nucleotide(s). Here, we demonstrate the use of this multiplex Pyrosequencing for single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyping and microbial typing.

Long-read pyrosequencing using pure 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-O'-(1-thiotriphosphate) Sp-isomer.
Pyrosequencing, a nonelectrophoretic DNA sequencing method that uses a luciferase-based enzymatic system to monitor DNA synthesis in real time, has so far been limited to sequencing of short stretches of DNA. To increase the signal-to-noise ratio in pyrosequencing the natural dATP was replaced by dATPalphaS (M. Ronaghi et al., 1996, Anal. Biochem. 242, 84-89). The applied dATPalphaS was a mixture of two isomers (Sp and Rp). We show here that by the introduction of pure 2'-deoxyadenosine-5'-O'-(1-thiotriphosphate) Sp-isomer in pyrosequencing substantial longer reads could be obtained. The pure Sp-isomer allowed lower nucleotide concentration to be used and improved the possibility to read through poly(T) regions. In general, a doubling of the read length could be obtained by the use of pure Sp-isomer. Pyrosequencing data for 50 to 100 bases could be generated on different types of template. The longer read will enable numerous new applications, such as identification and typing of medically important microorganisms as well as resequencing of DNA fragments for mutation screening and clone checking.

Pyrosequencing: an accurate detection platform for single nucleotide polymorphisms.
Pyrosequencing, a non-electrophoretic method for DNA sequencing, is emerging as a popular platform for analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This technology has the advantage of accuracy, ease-of-use, and high flexibility for different applications. Here, we review the methodology and the use of this technique for SNP genotyping, SNP discovery, haplotyping, and allelic frequency studies. In addition, we describe new schemes for template preparation and multiplexing as an effort for cost reduction in large-scale studies.
