This study presents an improved single-base extension (SBE) assay for genotyping single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using automated sequencers. The developed SNPtyper tool enables high-throughput SNP analysis without requiring new equipment.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are valuable genetic markers.
  • Existing SNP genotyping techniques often suffer from low throughput or high costs.
  • Automated sequencers offer a platform for SNP analysis via single-base extension (SBE) assays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified, high-throughput SBE protocol for SNP genotyping.
  • To address limitations in data analysis software for ABI sequencers.
  • To develop a tool for automated batch analysis of SNP data.

Main Methods:

  • Multiplex template generation and SBE reaction.
  • Analysis on a gel-based sequencer (ABI 377).
  • Development of a new size standard and a spreadsheet-based tool (SNPtyper) for automated data analysis.

Main Results:

  • The modified protocol allows multiplex sample analysis.
  • SNPtyper facilitates automated batch analysis of 96 samples, each with 10 SNPs.
  • The method enables genotyping up to 1000 SNPs per day per experimenter.

Conclusions:

  • The described method provides a cost-effective solution for high-throughput SNP genotyping in labs with existing ABI sequencers.
  • The SNPtyper tool significantly improves the efficiency and automation of SNP data analysis.
  • This approach democratizes access to advanced SNP genotyping capabilities.
