Positive selection vectors for high-fidelity PCR cloning

The power of PCR cloning of a target DNA fragment is limited by polymerase-induced mutations. While high-fidelity PCR products can be achieved by reducing the number of PCR cycles, the cloning of the very small amount of DNA thus amplified should give only a few recombinant clones (carrying an insert), which would be very difficult to screen from thousands of background false-positive clones generated by all the currently available vectors, including the positive selection vectors. False-positive clones are mostly generated by the recircularization of linearized vectors that have lost some bases at their ends due to digestion with contaminating exonuclease activities present in restriction enzymes, ligases, polymerases, and other reagents. To overcome this problem, two positive selection vectors, pRGR1Ap and pREM5Tc, have been developed, based on the principles of reporter gene reconstruction and regulatory element modulation, respectively. A PCR primer carrying a vector-specific sequence at its 5' end is used in PCR. When the resultant PCR products are ligated to the specific vector, an antibiotic resistance gene is expressed, thus donating positive selection capability to the harboring cells in a specific selection medium. These vectors cloned PCR fragments generated from less than a femtomole quantity of Escherichia coli genomic DNA after only three cycles of PCR amplification, thus greatly reducing the number of recombinant clones containing polymerase-induced mutations.     

Characterization and mapping of canine microsatellites isolated from BAC clones harbouring DNA sequences homologous to seven human genes

Human primers specific for the genes LEP, HBB, PAX3, ESR2, TPH1, ABCA4 and ATP2A2 were used to identify clones in a canine BAC library. Subcloning of the positive BACs in plasmids, screening with microsatellite motifs and subsequent sequencing allowed for the identification of eight novel microsatellites. The presence of the gene of interest was confirmed by sequencing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified in the positive BACs. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using the positive BACs as probes allowed for the chromosomal localization of the insert DNAs in two canid species, dog (Canis familiaris) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes). The use of gene-associated microsatellites may accelerate the identification of candidate genes for phenotypic traits in linkage studies.

A novel system for large-scale sequencing of cDNA by PCR amplification.

We have developed a method for constructing a library containing the 3' end fragment of cDNA for large-scale sequencing of cDNA clones. The average size of the insert was 270 bp. Cell lysates that carry plasmids having the cDNA insert were subjected to PCR amplification of the cDNA moiety and the products were subjected to sequencing analysis using an autosequencer. With this protocol, sample preparation became a non-limiting step, that allowed us to sequence as many samples as the autosequencer could handle.     

Characterization and identification of (CT)n microsatellites in soybean using sheared genomic libraries.

Three small insert (300 to approximately 600 bp) sheared genomic libraries were constructed by pipetting and DNase I treatment of soybean DNA. About 15,000 clones from each library were screened for CT- simple sequence repeats (CT-SSRs). The CT-SSRs were abundant in the soybean genome at an estimated frequency of approximately one SSR per 110 kb of genomic DNA. Following the sequencing of 129 positive clones, the repeat types and frequency of CT repeats among the positive clones were characterized. Forty-nine primer pairs were designed and preliminarily evaluated for their ability to amplify genomic DNA from a set of six varieties, including parents of a mapping family. Amplified products were analyzed by 10% PAGE. Eighty-eight percent of the designed primers were able to amplify all these genomic DNAs using a single PCR profile of 53 degrees C annealing temperature, of which 22 (45%) were polymorphic in the six varieties, and 14 of them were polymorphic in the parents of the mapping family. The polymorphic primer sets were further assessed for allelic information using DNA from 16 soybean cultivars. The average number of alleles was 4, ranging from 2 to 7 with the highest polymorphism information content value 0.84. Fourteen of these SSRs were mapped, using an existing soybean RFLP map. The findings presented here will advance our understanding of the soybean genome, and assist in the mapping genome and discrimination of closely related varieties of this species.
