Genetic Screens

5.4K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Southern Blot

Agarose gel electrophoresis is very useful in separating DNA fragments by size. Running a DNA ladder containing fragments of the known length alongside the sample helps determine the approximate length of the sample DNA fragments. However, additional steps are needed to verify the sequence identity of the sample DNA fragments.
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...

Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Molecular characterization is crucial for genetically modified (GM) crop development.
  • Traditional methods like Southern blot analysis are time-consuming, expensive, and lack sequence-level detail.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel sequence-based application, Southern-by-Sequencing (SbS), as a replacement for Southern blot analysis.
  • To enable high-throughput molecular characterization and event selection in GM crop development.

Main Methods:

  • SbS utilizes sequence capture coupled with next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • Whole-genome DNA libraries from GM plants are hybridized to probes targeting transformation plasmid sequences.
  • Analysis of next-to-target sequences identifies plasmid-to-genome and plasmid-to-plasmid junctions.

Main Results:

  • SbS provides sequence-level detail on insertion loci, copy number, and rearrangements.
  • It accurately detects unlinked DNA fragments, truncations, deletions, and plasmid backbone sequences.
  • The method successfully characterized and selected GM plants meeting optimal criteria.

Conclusions:

  • SbS is a robust and efficient screening tool for high-throughput molecular characterization of GM events.
  • This technology enhances the precision and speed of GM crop development.
  • SbS offers a valuable alternative to conventional Southern blot analysis.
