چکیده

To accommodate the increasingly rapid rates of DNA sequencing we have developed and implemented an inexpensive, expeditious method for the purification of double-stranded plasmid DNA clones. The robust nature, high throughput, low degree of technical difficulty and extremely low cost have made it the plasmid DNA preparation method of choice in both our expressed sequence tag (EST) and genome sequencing projects. Here we report the details of the method and describe its application in the generation of more than 700 000 ESTs at a rate exceeding 16 000 per week.

Glass bead purification of plasmid template DNA for high throughput sequencing of mammalian genomes.

To meet the new challenge of generating the draft sequences of mammalian genomes, we describe the development of a novel high throughput 96-well method for the purification of plasmid DNA template using size-fractionated, acid-washed glass beads. Unlike most previously described approaches, the current method has been designed and optimized to facilitate the direct binding of alcohol-precipitat...

A fast and inexpensive DNA extraction/purification protocol for brown macroalgae

Here we describe a rapid method for extracting DNA from dried brown algae material using a microtitre plate system in conjunction with a milling instrument. The method allows the preparation of nuclear and organelle DNA of quality suitable for polymerase chain reaction amplification. It combines high throughput with low cost per sample: DNA from 192 samples can be extracted in c. 3 h for < $0.4...

High-Throughput SNP Genotyping

Whole genome approaches using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have the potential to transform complex disease genetics and expedite pharmacogenetics research. This has led to a requirement for high-throughput SNP genotyping platforms. Development of a successful high-throughput genotyping platform depends on coupling reliable assay chemistry with an appropriate detection system to ...

A method for preparing DNA sequencing templates using a DNA-binding microplate.

A DNA-binding matrix was immobilized on the surface of a 96-well microplate and used for plasmid DNA preparation for DNA sequencing. The same DNA-binding plate was used for bacterial growth, cell lysis, DNA purification, and storage. In a single step using one buffer, bacterial cells were lysed by enzymes, and released DNA was captured on the plate simultaneously. After two wash steps, DNA was ...

High-Throughput STR Analysis by Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Rapid, cost-effective methods for high-throughput DNA analysis are needed to process samples currently being gathered for large criminal DNA databases around the world. Within the U.S., several states have sample backlogs of over 50,000 samples with limited funds and manpower to analyze these samples. Currently available slab gel or capillary electrophoresis instruments can handle only a few do...
