Transposon-facilitated DNA sequencing.

چکیده
We describe here a transposon-based DNA sequencing strategy that allows the introduction of sequencing priming sites throughout a target sequence by bacterial mating. A miniplasmid was designed to select against transposon insertions into the vector. Sites of transposon insertion are mapped by the polymerase chain reaction with bacterial overnight cultures providing the templates. A small set of plasmids with transposons spaced several hundred base pairs apart can then be sequenced. Sequencing primers corresponding to the transposon ends allow sequencing in both directions. Thus, the entire sequence of both strands can be easily determined.

Clonal Expansion Analysis of Transposon Insertions by High-Throughput Sequencing Identifies Candidate Cancer Genes in a PiggyBac Mutagenesis Screen
Somatic transposon mutagenesis in mice is an efficient strategy to investigate the genetic mechanisms of tumorigenesis. The identification of tumor driving transposon insertions traditionally requires the generation of large tumor cohorts to obtain information about common insertion sites. Tumor driving insertions are also characterized by their clonal expansion in tumor tissue, a phenomenon th...

The coupling of high-density transposon mutagenesis to high-throughput DNA sequencing (transposon-insertion sequencing) enables simultaneous and genome-wide assessment of the contributions of individual loci to bacterial growth and survival. We have refined analysis of transposon-insertion sequencing data by normalizing for the effect of DNA replication on sequencing output and using a hidden M...
متن کاملAn efficient strategy for large-scale high-throughput transposon-mediated sequencing of cDNA clones.
We describe an efficient high-throughput method for accurate DNA sequencing of entire cDNA clones. Developed as part of our involvement in the Mammalian Gene Collection full-length cDNA sequencing initiative, the method has been used and refined in our laboratory since September 2000. Amenable to large scale projects, we have used the method to generate >7 Mb of accurate sequence from 3695 cand...
متن کاملA rapid and cost-effective method for sequencing pooled cDNA clones by using a combination of transposon insertion and Gateway technology.
Large-scale cDNA-sequencing projects require an efficient strategy for mass sequencing. Here we describe a method for sequencing pooled cDNA clones using a combination of transposon insertion and Gateway technology. Our method reduces the number of shotgun clones that are unsuitable for reconstruction of cDNA sequences, and has the advantage of reducing the total costs of the sequencing project.

High-throughput analysis of genome-wide random transposon mutant libraries is a powerful tool for (conditional) essential gene discovery. Recently, several next-generation sequencing approaches, e.g. Tn-seq/INseq, HITS and TraDIS, have been developed that accurately map the site of transposon insertions by mutant-specific amplification and sequence readout of DNA flanking the transposon inserti...
