High Quality Genome-Wide Genotyping from Archived Dried Blood Spots without DNA Amplification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spots of blood are routinely collected from newborn babies onto filter paper called Guthrie cards and used to screen for metabolic and genetic disorders. The archived dried blood spots are an important and precious resource for genomic research. Whole genome amplification of dried blood spot DNA has been used to provide DNA for genome-wide SNP genotyping. Here we describe a 96 well format procedure to extract DNA from a portion of a dried blood spot that provides sufficient unamplified genomic DNA for genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. We show that SNP genotyping of the unamplified DNA is more robust than genotyping amplified dried blood spot DNA, is comparable in cost, and can be done with thousands of samples. This procedure can be used for genome-wide association studies and other large-scale genomic analyses that require robust, high-accuracy genotyping of dried blood spot DNA.

The use of DNA from archival dried blood spots with the Infinium HumanMethylation450 array
BACKGROUND Dried blood (Guthrie card) spots provide an efficient way to collect and store blood specimens. DNA from this source has been utilised for a number of molecular analyses including genome-wide association studies, but only few studies have tested the feasibility of using it for epigenetic applications, particularly at a genome-wide level. RESULTS In this study, we demonstrate the su...
متن کاملEvaluation of whole genome amplified DNA to decrease material expenditure and increase quality
AIM The overall aim of this study is to evaluate whole genome amplification of DNA extracted from dried blood spot samples. We wish to explore ways of optimizing the amplification process, while decreasing the amount of input material and inherently the cost. Our primary focus of optimization is on the amount of input material, the amplification reaction volume, the number of replicates and amp...

Association studies designed to identify the genetic determinants underlying complex disease increasingly require sustainable high-quality DNA resources for largescale single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. Recent studies have shown that genomic DNA (gDNA) suitable for SNP genotyping can be obtained from buccal cells and from dried blood spots on Guthrie cards. Further, successful SNP...

متن کاملHigh quality methylome-wide investigations through next-generation sequencing of DNA from a single archived dry blood spot
The potential importance of DNA methylation in the etiology of complex diseases has led to interest in the development of methylome-wide association studies (MWAS) aimed at interrogating all methylation sites in the human genome. When using blood as biomaterial for a MWAS the DNA is typically extracted directly from fresh or frozen whole blood that was collected via venous puncture. However, DN...
