Identification of novel simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs) in mouse by interspersed repetitive element (IRE)-PCR.

چکیده
Interspersed repetitive element (IRE)-PCR is a useful method for identification of novel human or mouse sequence tagged sites (STSs) from contigs of genomic clones. We describe the use of IRE-PCR with mouse B1 repetitive element primers to generate novel, PCR amplifiable, simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs) from yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones containing regions of mouse chromosomes 13 and 14. Forty-two IRE-PCR products were cloned and sequenced from eight YACs. Of these, 29 clones contained multiple simple sequence repeat units. PCR analysis with primers derived from unique sequences flanking the simple sequence repeat units in seven clones showed all to be polymorphic between various mouse strains. This novel approach to SSLP identification represents an efficient method for saturating a genomic interval with polymorphic genetic markers that may expedite the positional cloning of genes for traits and diseases.

Identification and characterization of novel polymorphic LINE-1 insertions through comparison of two human genome sequence assemblies.
Mobile elements represent a relatively new class of markers for the study of human evolution. Long interspersed elements (LINEs) belong to a group of retrotransposons comprising approximately 21% of the human genome. Young LINE-1 (L1) elements that have integrated recently into the human genome can be polymorphic for insertion presence/absence in different human populations at particular chromo...
متن کاملToward the construction of integrated physical and genetic maps of the mouse genome using interspersed repetitive sequence PCR (IRS-PCR) genomics.
Using two recently developed techniques, IRS-PCR YAC walking and IRS-PCR genotyping, a framework-integrated physical and genetic map of the mouse genome was constructed. The map consists of 821 contigs, containing 7746 YAC clones originating from three different YAC libraries. Three hundred eighty of the contigs have been anchored to the genetic map. Approximately 16% of the physical length of ...
متن کاملA polymorphic zebrafish line for genetic mapping using SSLPs on high-percentage agarose gels
Simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs) have become an important and powerful genetic tool in constructing linkage maps of vertebrates such as the mouse, rat and human (Ref. 1, 2, 3). These genetic markers consist of two primers flanking a dinucleotide repeat which can be highly variable in length. The zebrafish has become a popular vertebrate model system for studying developmental events...
متن کاملPolymorphic human specific Alu insertions as markers for human identification.
Alu sequences represent the largest family of short interspersed repetitive elements (SINEs) in humans with 500 000 copies per genome. Recently, one Alu subfamily was found to be human specific (HS). We originally described the use of polymorphis HS Alu insertions as a tool in population studies and recently as tools in DNA fingerprinting and forensic analysis. In this report, we will use this ...
