Evaluating putative chimeric sequences from PCR-amplified products
MOTIVATION PCR amplification of highly homologous genes from complex DNA mixtures is known to generate a significant proportion of chimeric sequences. Ribosomal RNA genes are used for microbial species detection and identification in natural environments, and current assessments of microbial diversity are based on these sequences. Thus, chimeric sequences could lead to the discovery of non-exis...
متن کاملRemoval of polymerase-produced mutant sequences from PCR products.
Heteroduplex DNA lacking d(GATC) methylation is subject to mismatch-provoked double-strand cleavage at d(GATC) sites in a reaction dependent on MutH, MutL, MutS, and ATP. We have exploited this reaction to develop a method for removal of polymerase-produced mutant sequences that arise during sequence amplification by PCR. After denaturation and reannealing, the PCR product pool is subjected to ...
متن کاملDirect cloning of PCR products amplified with Pwo DNA polymerase.
The cloning of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products provides one with a stable form of the amplified segment and facilitates further manipulation and study of the target molecule. A number of cloning protocols have been developed either based on a restriction endonuclease recognition site built into the primers or by using the template-independent terminal transferase activity (“extendase” ...
متن کاملSequencing of PCR-amplified DNA.
Alternatives for sequencing of PCR products essentially fall into one of two categories; generation of single-stranded DNA for sequencing or the direct sequencing of double-stranded product. Of the two alternatives, sequencing of double-stranded PCR products is likely to be of greatest immediate significance in terms of general applicability and rapidity. Double-stranded sequencing allows the u...
متن کاملInference of haplotypes from PCR-amplified samples of diploid populations.
Direct sequencing of genomic DNA from diploid individuals leads to ambiguities on sequencing gels whenever there is more than one mismatching site in the sequences of the two orthologous copies of a gene. While these ambiguities cannot be resolved from a single sample without resorting to other experimental methods (such as cloning in the traditional way), population samples may be useful for i...
