Whole genome amplification of single cells: mathematical analysis of PEP and tagged PCR.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a mathematical model for two whole genome amplification strategies, primer extension preamplification (PEP) and tagged polymerase chain reaction (tagged PCR). An explicit formula for the expected target yield of PEP is obtained. The distribution of the target yield and the coverage properties of these two strategies are studied by simulations. From our studies we find that polymerase with high processivity may increase the efficiency of PEP and tagged PCR.

Preimplantation diagnosis by whole-genome amplification, PCR amplification, and solid-phase minisequencing of blastomere DNA.
We have developed a new method for preimplantation diagnosis of inherited diseases. Our procedure for the identification of point mutations in single cells combines whole-genome amplification using 15-mer random primers (primer extension preamplification, PEP) with a single locus-specific PCR amplification, followed by detection of the mutation by solid-phase minisequencing. The procedure was e...
متن کاملI-44: Concurrent Whole-Genome Haplotyping and Copy-Number Profiling of Single Cells
Background Methods for haplotyping and DNA copynumber typing of single cells are paramount for studying genomic heterogeneity and enabling genetic diagnosis. Before analyzing the DNA of a single cell by microarray or next-generation sequencing, a whole-genome amplification (WGA) process is required, but it substantially distorts the frequency and composition of the cell’s alleles. As a conseque...

متن کاملO-36: Genome Haplotyping and Detection of Meiotic Homologous Recombination Sites in Single Cells, A Generic Method for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis
Background: Haplotyping is invaluable not only to identify genetic variants underlying a disease or trait, but also to study evolution and population history as well as meiotic and mitotic recombination processes. Current genome-wide haplotyping methods rely on genomic DNA that is extracted from a large number of cells. Thus far random allele drop out and preferential amplification artifacts of...
متن کاملAdaptation of the primer extension preamplification (PEP) reaction for preimplantation diagnosis: single blastomere analysis using short PEP protocols.
Primer extension preamplification (PEP) was first described as a method for whole genome amplification, starting from a single cell, originally a spermatozoon, in order to perform genetic recombination studies. Its usefulness for preimplantation diagnosis was shown soon after; the only drawback was the length of the procedure (> 14 h). We have developed a shorter PEP protocol for single human b...
