Abstract: Homopolymer stretches are runs of repeating identical nucleotides in DNA and RNA sequences. The determination of the number of nucleotides in a run poses a challenge to many next-generation sequencing technologies, as pyrosequencing methods lose resolution on large scale base incorporation, and single-molecule real time sequencing approaches cannot sense a change in the nucleotides being read. The determination of the exact number of nucleotides is crucial in identifying insertions and deletions in a DNA sequence, as such frameshift mutations often have marked functional effects on the encoded proteins.
Peter Sarkozy received his degree in Computer Science from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE) in 2009, and continued his graduate studies at the Department of Measurement and Information systems. During his graduate studies from 2009 to 2012 he participated in multiple projects together with the Department of Genetics, Cell and Immunobiology at the Semmelweis University. His areas of interest include the measurement and error characteristics of next-generation DNA sequencing technologies. He is the first person in Hungary to apply Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ single molecule real-time sequencing technology. He is currently working as a research assistant at the Department of Measurement and Information Systems at BUTE.
