Oligonucleotide mapping: evaluation of its sensitivity by computer-simulation

    Summary

    Oligonucleotide mapping, a method for comparing RNA, is best for highly similar sequences. Computer models show that even small sequence differences significantly reduce shared large oligonucleotides, limiting fingerprint analysis utility.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Oligonucleotide mapping (fingerprinting) is a common technique for comparing large RNA molecules.
    • This method involves analyzing sets of oligonucleotides generated by RNase digestion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the number of large RNase T1-resistant oligonucleotides from random RNA sequences using computer simulations.
    • To determine the impact of sequence variations on oligonucleotide profiles for quantitative RNA comparison.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized computer simulations to model random RNA sequences and RNase T1 digestion.
    • Developed simple analytic expressions to estimate oligonucleotide counts.
    • Analyzed the effect of sequence variations (1%, 5%, 10%) on shared oligonucleotides.

    Main Results:

    • Computer simulations estimated the number of large oligonucleotides in random RNA sequences.
    • RNA sequences differing by 1%, 5%, or 10% shared only 85%, 50%, or 25% of large oligonucleotides, respectively.
    • Statistical confidence limits for fingerprint comparisons were estimated.

    Conclusions:

    • Fingerprint analysis is most reliable for comparing closely related RNA molecules or specific RNA regions.
    • High sequence homology (greater than 90%) is recommended for effective oligonucleotide mapping.
    • Significant reductions in shared oligonucleotides occur even with minor sequence divergence.
