Oligonucleotide probes detect splicing variants in situ in Drosophila embryos.

چکیده
We describe a method for the in situ detection of specific splicing variants. The method is based on the use of antisense oligonucleotides designed to span splice junctions labelled with digoxigenin by terminal transferase tailing. We find that the spatial patterns of Ubx splicing variants Ia and IIa are similar in early embryos, but differ in late embryos. Variant IVa is only detected in the CNS (ps6) at stages 16 and 17. We also present evidence indicating that the first splicing event is cotranscriptional.

Splice Variant Search with Gene Expression Data
Alternative splicing is the phenomena that the pre-mRNA transcript from DNA is processed into different mRNAs by spliced different types of introns. The organism can acquire proteins as many times as genes. Therefore to find such splicing variants is risen in the post genome era. We investigate a new method to detect splicing variants with the gene expression data by the oligonucleotide array t...
متن کاملPCR-Based RNA Probes: A Quick and Sensitive Method to Improve Whole Mount Embryo In Situ Hybridizations
We have developed a PCR-based technique for the preparation of RNA probes that can be used for whole mount in situ hybridization on embryos. T3 or T7 RNA polymerase promoters were introduced at the 5′ end of gene-specific oligonucleotide primers enabling direct in vitro transcription of purified PCR fragments. We show for various marker genes in Xenopus embryos that this method provides equival...

متن کاملHigh-Resolution Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization Using Quantum Dot Nanocrystals
The photostability and narrow emission spectra of nanometer-scale semiconductor crystallites (QDs) make them desirable candidates for whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization to detect mRNA transcripts in morphologically preserved intact embryos. We describe a method for direct QD labeling of modified oligonucleotide probes through streptavidin-biotin and antibody-mediated interactions (an...
متن کاملWhole-mount fluorescence in situ hybridization and antibody staining of Drosophila embryos.
Whole-mount RNA in situ hybridizations with digoxigenin-conjugated probes and alkaline phosphatase biochemistry have been used widely for many years to map expression pattern domains in the Drosophila embryo. To capitalize on the number of molecular markers in the central nervous system (CNS) and to enable expression analysis at the single-cell level, fluorescence in situ hybridization procedur...
