The LightTyper: high-throughput genotyping using fluorescent melting curve analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Instrumentation, chemistry, and software for high-throughput genotyping using fluorescent melting curves are described. The LightTyper system provides post-amplification genotyping within 10 min using samples in 96- or 384-well microplate formats. The system is homogenous because all reagents are added at the beginning of the reaction and there is no sample manipulation between amplification and genotyping. High-resolution melting curves are achieved by slow and steady heating. As samples are heated, panels of blue light-emitting diodes excite the probes, and fluorescence emission is acquired with a cooled charge-coupled device camera. A variety of probe chemistries are compatible for genotyping on the LightTyper, including dsDNA dyes, single-labeled probes, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer systems. Genotyping is performed automatically, and each sample is given a score reflecting the similarity of the genotype to the standards provided. Standard genotypes can be selected from within the run or imported from other files. Samples and genotypes can be grouped to allow multiple-allele detection on one or many samples. The utility of the LightTyper is illustrated by genotyping samples for the Factor V Leiden mutation and for mutations in the CFTR gene.

Melting curve analysis of SNPs (McSNP): a gel-free and inexpensive approach for SNP genotyping.
High-throughput methods for assaying DNA variation require two important steps: (i) discriminating the variation and (ii) detecting the signal. In this report, we describe a novel SNP genotyping method that we refer to as melting curve analysis of SNPs (McSNP). McSNP combines a classic approach for discriminating alleles, restriction enzyme digestion, with a more recent method for detecting DNA...

Closed-tube genotyping with unlabeled oligonucleotide probes and a saturating DNA dye.
BACKGROUND Homogeneous PCR methods for genotyping usually require fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes. Amplicon melting with the DNA dye LCGreen I was recently introduced as a closed-tube method of genotyping that does not require probes or real-time PCR. However, some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could not be completely genotyped without addition of a known genotype, and hig...
متن کاملGenotyping common SNP and a microsatellite sequence closely linked to waxy gene in rice by DNA based markers
The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...
متن کاملAnalysis of multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms closely positioned in the ovine PRNP gene using linear fluorescent probes and melting curve analysis
BACKGROUND Resistance and susceptibility to scrapie has been associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms located within codons 136, 154 and 171 of the ovine prion protein gene (PRNP). Dual-labelled HyBeacon probes were developed to analyse single and clustered polymorphisms within these and neighbouring codons. METHODS Extracted DNAs and unpurified blood samples were genotyped with respec...
