Tandem trimer pyrrole-imidazole polyamide probes targeting 18 base pairs in human telomere sequences.
The binding of molecules to specific DNA sequences is important for imaging genome DNA and for studying gene expression. Increasing the number of base pairs targeted by these molecules would provide greater specificity. N-Methylpyrrole-N-methylimidazole (Py-Im) polyamides are one type of such molecules and can bind to the minor groove of DNA in a sequence-specific manner without causing denatur...
متن کاملTelomere Visualization in Tissue Sections using Pyrrole–Imidazole Polyamide Probes
Pyrrole-Imidazole (PI) polyamides bind to specific DNA sequences in the minor groove with high affinity. Specific DNA labeling by PI polyamides does not require DNA denaturation with harsh treatments of heat and formamide and has the advantages of rapid and less disruptive processing. Previously, we developed tandem hairpin PI polyamide probes (TH59 series), which label telomeres in cultured ce...
متن کاملDesign of modified oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes to detect telomere repeat sequences in FISH assays.
A series of dye-labeled oligonucleotide probes containing base and sugar modifications were tested for the ability to detect telomeric repeat sequences in FISH assays. These modified oligonucleotides, all 18 nt in length, were complementary to either the cytidine-rich (C(3)TA(2))(n)or guanosine-rich (T(2)AG(3))(n)telomere target sequences. Oligonucleotides were modified to either increase targe...
متن کاملRepeat or not repeat?—Statistical validation of tandem repeat prediction in genomic sequences
Tandem repeats (TRs) represent one of the most prevalent features of genomic sequences. Due to their abundance and functional significance, a plethora of detection tools has been devised over the last two decades. Despite the longstanding interest, TR detection is still not resolved. Our large-scale tests reveal that current detectors produce different, often nonoverlapping inferences, reflecti...
متن کاملHuman tandem repeat sequences in forensic DNA typing.
It has been 20 years since the first development of DNA fingerprinting and the start of forensic DNA typing. Ever since, human tandem repeat DNA sequences have been the main targets for forensic DNA analysis. These repeat sequences are classified into minisatellites (or VNTRs) and microsatellites (or STRs). In this brief review, we discuss the historical and current forensic applications of suc...
