DNA Isolation

DNA Isolation

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...

Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Sanger Sequencing

Sanger Sequencing

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...

Background:

Genome walking is crucial for identifying flanking DNA sequences.
Existing methods can be complex or species-specific.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple, reliable, and universal genome walking protocol.
To detail the primer extension refractory PCR (PER-PCR) method.

Main Methods:

Utilizes three walking primers (WPs) with overlapping regions.
Employs differential annealing temperatures to generate and amplify specific single-stranded DNA (ssDNA).
Nested PER-PCR rounds enhance target amplification.

Main Results:

The PER-PCR protocol successfully identified flanking DNA sequences for two selected genes.
The method demonstrated universality across species.
Nested PER-PCR typically yields positive results within two rounds.

Conclusions:

PER-PCR offers an efficient and accessible approach for genome walking.
The protocol's design ensures specific amplification of target DNA.
This technique has broad applications in life sciences and genetic research.
