RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.5K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

DNA Isolation

45.8K
DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

Sanger Sequencing

777.2K
DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Traditional Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) methods suffer from poor reproducibility and productivity.
  • An improved RAPD method, RAMP-PCR, was previously developed to enhance reproducibility and efficiency.
  • Further optimization is needed to maximize the utility of RAMP-PCR for molecular marker studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the efficiency and reproducibility of the RAMP-PCR method.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of high-GC content primers in RAMP-PCR.
  • To assess the applicability of the improved method for genetic identification across various species.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an improved RAMP-PCR protocol utilizing high-GC content primers.
  • Compared amplification profiles from standard RAPD, regular PCR, and RAMP-PCR with high-GC primers.
  • Applied the optimized RAMP-PCR method to DNA samples from diverse species (plants, animals, humans).

Main Results:

  • The use of high-GC primers in RAMP-PCR significantly increased the average number of bands and polymorphisms per primer (e.g., from 6.4 to 15.0 bands).
  • Cluster dendrograms confirmed the consistency and reproducibility of the enhanced RAMP-PCR method.
  • Successful amplification of multiple bands was achieved across all tested species, demonstrating broad applicability.

Conclusions:

  • The high-GC primer-enhanced RAMP-PCR offers a more effective and reproducible approach for generating DNA markers.
  • This improved technique provides a valuable tool for the genetic identification of diverse organisms, especially medicinal plants.
  • The method demonstrates consistent results and general interest for studies across different genera and species.
