Summary

Introduction

Recent advances in next-generation sequencing have hugely impacted biological research through high-throughput platforms that generate megabases of sequence data per day. These technologies improve both speed and cost and have found applications in genotyping, protein-DNA interactions (Barski et al., 2007; Mikkelsen et al., 2007), transcriptome analysis (Friedländer et al., 2008; Hafner et al., 2008; Vera et al., 2008), and de novo genome assembly (Chaisson and Pevzner, 2008). In this chapter, we focus on the Illumina/Solexa sequencing platform. However, data from other technologies have similar characteristics, and we expect models similar to the one presented here to remain useful also for these technologies.

Solexa sequencing (www.illumina.com) produces millions of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified and labeled sequences of short reads. For each short read, the measurements of their fluorescent intensities are stored in an I × 4 matrix, where I is the length of the read (e.g., I = 36). Such amatrix corresponds to a colony. The positions i = 1, …, I in the short read are sequenced in cycles by a biochemical procedure called sequencing-by-synthesis. As a result, each row of the colony matrix contains measurements from a cycle in the experiment in which the sequence of a single base is synthesized. At each cycle, all four nucleotides (A, C, G, and T) labeled with four different fluorescent dyes are probed, thus producing a quadruple vector of fluorescent intensity scores.
