Abstract

Screening disease-related single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the whole genome has great potential in complex disease genetics and pharmacogenetics researches. It has led to a requirement for high-throughput genotyping platforms that can maximize the efficient screening functional SNPs with respect to accuracy, speed and cost. In this study, we attempted to develop a microarray-based method for scoring a number of genomic DNA in parallel for one or more molecular markers on a glass slide. Two SNP markers localized to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) were selected as the investigated targets. Amplified PCR products from nine genomic DNA specimens were spotted and immobilized onto a poly-l-lysine coated glass slide to fabricate a microarray, then interrogated by hybridization with dual-color probes to determine the SNP genotype of each sample. The results indicated that the microarray-based method could determine the genotype of 677 and 1298 MTHFR polymorphisms. Sequencing was performed to validate these results. Our experiments successfully demonstrate that PCR products subjected to dual-color hybridization on a microarray could be applied as a useful and a high-throughput tool to analyze molecular markers.

IMPACT OF FLUORESCENT DYES ON MUTATIONS IN NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING LIBRARY GENERATION.

DNA labelling fluorescent dyes such as ethidium bromide have long been considered to be highly mutagenic during DNA replication. While recent studies have pushed back on this narrative, the intercalative nature of these dyes continues to raise the possibility that these dyes can induce mutations. The iconPCR instrument by n6tec uses fluorescent dyes to measure amplification in real time and to adjust cycling conditions. However, since this use of qPCR is preparative and not analytical, mutations introduced by fluorescent dyes would be propagated into the sequencing reaction. To address the impact of these dyes on downstream analyses, we have performed routine mutation calling as well as mutational signature analysis on samples amplified using the iconPCR in the presence of either SYBR or EvaGreen. Sequence analysis revealed very minimal impacts of dyes on the reactions, largely within the noise regimen with only subtle changes in mutation rates seen. Mutational signature analysis was unable to identify any key signatures assignable to the dyes in either substitutions or indel domains. The mutational impact of intercalating dyes during fluorescence-guided amplification is therefore minimal and can be disregarded in all but the most sensitive NGS applications.

Photophysics of a series of efficient fluorescent pH probes for dual-emission-wavelength measurements in aqueous solutions.

This paper evaluates the 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole backbone to engineer donor-acceptor fluorescent pH probes after one- or two-photon absorption. Parent fluorophores, as well as derivatives that can be used to label biomolecules, can be easily obtained in good yields. These molecules exhibit a large one-photon absorption in the near-UV range, and a strong fluorescence emission that covers the whole visible domain. The 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives also possess significant cross sections for two-photon absorption. Upon pyridine protonation, large shifts were observed in the absorption spectra after one- and two-photon excitation, as well as in the emission spectra. This feature was used to measure the pK(a) of the investigated compounds that range between 2 and 8. In most of the investigated derivatives, the pK(a) increased upon light excitation and protonation exchanges took place during the lifetime of the excited state, as shown by phase-modulation fluorometry analysis. Several 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives are suggested as efficient probes to reliably measure the pH of aqueous solutions by means of ratiometric methods that are dependent on fluorescence emission.

Use of fluorescence to monitor the incorporation of horseradish peroxidase into a sol-gel derived medium.

The solvatochromic dye nile red has been employed to monitor the incorporation of an enzyme (horseradish peroxidase) into a sol-gel derived medium. The fluorescence spectrum of the dye, when incorporated into the enzyme, was analysed as the sum of Gaussian component spectra and relative changes between these component spectra were monitored upon encapsulation of the dye-enzyme system within the host matrix. Activity of the confined enzyme was verified and the effect of temperature was also investigated, through the examination of nile red fluorescence in the sol-gel derived matrix, where a stabilising effect was noted.
