SNP genotyping by unlabeled probe melting analysis.
Fluorescent nucleic acid detection in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) generally uses oligonucleotide probes labeled with covalently attached dyes. However, unlabeled oligonucleotides in the presence of saturating DNA dyes can also serve as hybridization probes. The DNA dye, LCGreen Plus, and a 3'-blocked unlabeled probe are added before amplification, and asymmetric PCR is performed at a 1:5 to...
متن کاملDesign of LNA probes that improve mismatch discrimination
Locked nucleic acids (LNA) show remarkable affinity and specificity against native DNA targets. Effects of LNA modifications on mismatch discrimination were studied as a function of sequence context and identity of the mismatch using ultraviolet (UV) melting experiments. A triplet of LNA residues centered on the mismatch was generally found to have the largest discriminatory power. An exception...
متن کاملLNA-enhanced detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein E.
Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in large populations presents a great challenge, especially if the SNPs are embedded in GC-rich regions, such as the codon 112 SNP in the human apolipoprotein E (apoE). In the present study, we have used immobilized locked nucleic acid (LNA) capture probes combined with LNA-enhancer oligonucleotides to obtain efficient and specific interrogat...
متن کاملZip nucleic acids are potent hydrolysis probes for quantitative PCR
Zip nucleic acids (ZNAs) are oligonucleotides conjugated with cationic spermine units that increase affinity for their target. ZNAs were recently shown to enable specific and sensitive reactions when used as primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse-transcription. Here, we report their use as quantitative PCR hydrolysis probes. Ultraviolet duplex melting data demonstrate that atta...
متن کاملOptimization of single-base-pair mismatch discrimination in oligonucleotide microarrays.
The discrimination between perfect-match and single-base-pair-mismatched nucleic acid duplexes was investigated by using oligonucleotide DNA microarrays and nonequilibrium dissociation rates (melting profiles). DNA and RNA versions of two synthetic targets corresponding to the 16S rRNA sequences of Staphylococcus epidermidis (38 nucleotides) and Nitrosomonas eutropha (39 nucleotides) were hybri...
