Mapping transposon insertion sites by touchdown PCR and hybrid degenerate primers.
A novel mapping method based on touchdown PCR was developed for identifying a transposon insertion site in genomic DNA using a hybrid consensus-degenerate primer in combination with a specific primer that anneals to the transposon. The method was tested using Xanthomonas citri transposon mutants. PCR products contained adjacent DNA regions that belonged to both X. citri genomic DNA and the tran...
متن کاملUse of degenerate primers and touchdown PCR for construction of cDNA libraries.
Optimized construction of low-redundancy cDNA mini-libraries using low-stringency RT-PCR is described cDNAs are generated using arbitrary consensus-degenerate hybrid oligonucleotide primers and nanogram amounts of Schistosoma mansoni mRNA. A number of conditions such as temperature and salt concentration are combined to create balanced, low-stringency conditions that permit a normalized amplifi...
متن کاملSelecting Degenerate Multiplex PCR Primers
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Genotyping is an important molecular genetics technique in the early stages of producing results that will be useful in the medical field. One of the proposed methods for performing SNP Genotyping requires amplifying regions of DNA surrounding a large number of SNP loci. In order to automate a portion of this method and make the use of SNP Genotyping more wi...
متن کاملSingle-primer PCR procedure for rapid identification of transposon insertion sites.
Transposons have been used in many laboratories worldwide as a powerful tool for insertional mutagenesis to investigate gene function in bacteria (8). The technique has recently been adapted in which a transposon, such as mini-Tn5, delivers a unique identifying sequence of 40 nucleotides (1). This technique, termed signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM), is widely used in the search for virulence-a...
متن کاملTransposon insertion mapping with PIMMS – Pragmatic Insertional Mutation Mapping System
UNLABELLED The PIMMS (Pragmatic Insertional Mutation Mapping System) pipeline has been developed for simple conditionally essential genome discovery experiments in bacteria. Capable of using raw sequence data files alongside a FASTA sequence of the reference genome and GFF file, PIMMS will generate a tabulated output of each coding sequence with corresponding mapped insertions accompanied with ...
