Determination of allele frequencies at loci with length polymorphism by quantitative analysis of DNA amplified from pooled samples.
We present a new method that allows rapid determination of allele frequencies at loci exhibiting length polymorphism. In this method a fluorescence-labeled PCR primer is used to amplify the polymorphic region from pooled DNA samples originating from a large number of individuals. The fluorescent PCR products are separated by gel electrophoresis on an automatic DNA sequencer and the relative amo...
متن کاملHigh-throughput SNP allele-frequency determination in pooled DNA samples by kinetic PCR.
We have developed an accurate, yet inexpensive and high-throughput, method for determining the allele frequency of biallelic polymorphisms in pools of DNA samples. The assay combines kinetic (real-time quantitative) PCR with allele-specific amplification and requires no post-PCR processing. The relative amounts of each allele in a sample are quantified. This is performed by dividing equal aliqu...
متن کاملA central resource for accurate allele frequency estimation from pooled DNA genotyped on DNA microarrays
Analysing pooled DNA on microarrays is an efficient way to genotype hundreds of individuals for thousands of markers for genome-wide association. Although direct comparison of case and control fluorescence scores is possible, correction for differential hybridization of alleles is important, particularly for rare single nucleotide polymorphisms. Such correction relies on heterozygous fluorescen...
متن کاملDetecting SNPs and estimating allele frequencies in clonal bacterial populations by sequencing pooled DNA
SUMMARY Here, we present a method for estimating the frequencies of SNP alleles present within pooled samples of DNA using high-throughput short-read sequencing. The method was tested on real data from six strains of the highly monomorphic pathogen Salmonella Paratyphi A, sequenced individually and in a pool. A variety of read mapping and quality-weighting procedures were tested to determine th...
متن کاملA measure of population subdivision based on microsatellite allele frequencies.
A new measure of the extent of population subdivision as inferred from allele frequencies at microsatellite loci is proposed and tested with computer simulations. This measure, called R(ST), is analogous to Wright's F(ST) in representing the proportion of variation between populations. It differs in taking explicit account of the mutation process at microsatellite loci, for which a generalized ...
