Abstract

Microarrays are one of the new emerging methods in plant virology currently being developed by various laboratories. In this study, a new approach is described on the detection of plant viruses using short synthetic single-stranded oligomers (40 nt) instead of PCR products as capture probes. A microchip detecting potato viruses, PVA, PVS, PVM, PVX, PVY and PLRV, in both single and mixed infections was developed and tested. The chip was also designed to distinguish between the main strains of PVY and PVS. Results of initial tests with PVY(NTN) and PVY(O) strains using several different probes for one virus are presented. Possibilities and advantages of the new oligonucleotide-based microarray approach for plant viral diagnosis are discussed.

Accurately quantifying low-abundant targets amid similar sequences by revealing hidden correlations in oligonucleotide microarray data.

Microarrays have enabled the determination of how thousands of genes are expressed to coordinate function within single organisms. Yet applications to natural or engineered communities where different organisms interact to produce complex properties are hampered by theoretical and technological limitations. Here we describe a general method to accurately identify low-abundant targets in systems containing complex mixtures of homologous targets. We combined an analytical predictor of nonspecific probe-target interactions (cross-hybridization) with an optimization algorithm that iteratively deconvolutes true probe-target signal from raw signal affected by spurious contributions (cross-hybridization, noise, background, and unequal specific hybridization response). The method was capable of quantifying, with unprecedented specificity and accuracy, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences in artificial and natural communities. Controlled experiments with spiked rRNA into artificial and natural communities demonstrated the accuracy of identification and quantitative behavior over different concentration ranges. Finally, we illustrated the power of this methodology for accurate detection of low-abundant targets in natural communities. We accurately identified Vibrio taxa in coastal marine samples at their natural concentrations (<0.05% of total bacteria), despite the high potential for cross-hybridization by hundreds of different coexisting rRNAs, suggesting this methodology should be expandable to any microarray platform and system requiring accurate identification of low-abundant targets amid pools of similar sequences.

The printing process: tips on tips.

While the microarray printing process consists of a few simple operations, many variables can affect the final quality of printed arrays. As in most high-throughput processes, the ultimate goal is to reduce and control variability. This chapter describes how to minimize variation in the printing process through proper selection and installation of printing tips, printing buffers, and implementation of quality control procedures.
