Labeling DNA Probes

Labeling DNA Probes

DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization

Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...

Area of Science:

Molecular Biology
Biochemistry
Genetics

Background:

CYP2C9 * 3 is a significant genetic variant.
Accurate detection of DNA mismatches is crucial for genetic analysis.
Existing methods for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an exciplex fluorescent-probe system for detecting mismatched CYP2C9 * 3 DNA.
To assess the system's efficacy in distinguishing wild-type (WT) from mutant (MT) DNA targets.
To explore the potential of this system for SNP detection.

Main Methods:

Utilized a model system with two 12-mer oligonucleotide fluorescent probes.
Probes were designed to be complementary to neighboring sites of DNA targets (24-mer and 47-mer).
Exciplex formation and fluorescence emission at 505 nm were analyzed at different temperatures (5°C and Tm).

Main Results:

The exciplex fluorescent-probe system detected mismatches in CYP2C9 * 3 DNA.
Distinct exciplex bands at 505 nm were observed for WT and MT targets at Tm, differentiating them effectively.
The system showed clear fluorescence differences between WT and MT circular plasmids.

Conclusions:

The exciplex fluorescent-probe system demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for detecting CYP2C9 * 3 DNA mismatches.
This technology holds promise for reliable and efficient single nucleotide polymorphism detection.
The temperature-dependent fluorescence response is key to distinguishing between WT and MT DNA sequences.
