Abstract

Screening disease-related single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in the whole genome has great potential in complex disease genetics and pharmacogenetics researches. It has led to a requirement for high-throughput genotyping platforms that can maximize the efficient screening functional SNPs with respect to accuracy, speed and cost. In this study, we attempted to develop a microarray-based method for scoring a number of genomic DNA in parallel for one or more molecular markers on a glass slide. Two SNP markers localized to the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) were selected as the investigated targets. Amplified PCR products from nine genomic DNA specimens were spotted and immobilized onto a poly-l-lysine coated glass slide to fabricate a microarray, then interrogated by hybridization with dual-color probes to determine the SNP genotype of each sample. The results indicated that the microarray-based method could determine the genotype of 677 and 1298 MTHFR polymorphisms. Sequencing was performed to validate these results. Our experiments successfully demonstrate that PCR products subjected to dual-color hybridization on a microarray could be applied as a useful and a high-throughput tool to analyze molecular markers.

IMPACT OF FLUORESCENT DYES ON MUTATIONS IN NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING LIBRARY GENERATION.

DNA labelling fluorescent dyes such as ethidium bromide have long been considered to be highly mutagenic during DNA replication. While recent studies have pushed back on this narrative, the intercalative nature of these dyes continues to raise the possibility that these dyes can induce mutations. The iconPCR instrument by n6tec uses fluorescent dyes to measure amplification in real time and to adjust cycling conditions. However, since this use of qPCR is preparative and not analytical, mutations introduced by fluorescent dyes would be propagated into the sequencing reaction. To address the impact of these dyes on downstream analyses, we have performed routine mutation calling as well as mutational signature analysis on samples amplified using the iconPCR in the presence of either SYBR or EvaGreen. Sequence analysis revealed very minimal impacts of dyes on the reactions, largely within the noise regimen with only subtle changes in mutation rates seen. Mutational signature analysis was unable to identify any key signatures assignable to the dyes in either substitutions or indel domains. The mutational impact of intercalating dyes during fluorescence-guided amplification is therefore minimal and can be disregarded in all but the most sensitive NGS applications.

Streamlined synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI), PI3P, PI3,5P2, and deoxygenated analogues as potential biological probes.

Highly direct total syntheses of phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P), phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PI3,5P2), and a range of deoxygenated versions are reported. Each synthesis is carried out to deliver the target in optically pure form. The key step for each synthesis is a catalytic asymmetric phosphorylation reaction that affects desymmetrization of an appropriate myo-inositol precursor. Elaboration to each target compound is then carried out employing a diversity-oriented strategy from the common precursors. In addition to three natural products, several additional streamlined total syntheses of deoxygenated PI analogues are reported. These syntheses set the stage for high-precision biological investigations of polar headgroup/biological target interactions of these membrane-associated signaling molecules.

6-N,N-diphenylaminobenzofuran-derived pyran containing fluorescent dyes: a new class of high-brightness red-light-emitting dopants for OLED.

Dye-doped organic light-emitting diode of ITO/alpha-NPB (70 nm)/Bebq(2)-1 (7 nm)/BCP (5 nm)/Bebq(2) (33 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (150 nm) shows red electroluminescence with the efficiency of 2.9 cd/A at 100 cd/m(2) and maximum brightness of 62000 cd/m(2). The physical organic aspects of the current-induced fluorescent quenching effect are discussed. [structure: see text]
