Construction of libraries enriched for sequence repeats and jumping clones, and hybridization selection for region-specific markers
- Yale Univ. School of Medicine, New Haven, CT (United States)
The authors describe a simple and rapid method for constructing small-insert genomic libraries highly enriched for dimeric, trimeric, and tetrameric nucleotide repeat motifs. The approach involves use of DNA inserts recovered by PCR amplification of a small-insert sonicated genomic phage library or by a single-primer PCR amplification of Mbo I-digested and adaptor-ligated genomic DNA. The genomic DNA inserts are heat denatured and hybridized to a biotinylated oligonucleotde. The biotinylated hybrids are retained on a Vectrex-avidin matrix and eluted specifically. The eluate is PCR amplified and cloned. More than 90% of the clones in a library enriched for (CA)[sub n] microsatellites with this approach contained clones with inserts containing CA repeats. They have also used this protocol for enrichment of (CAG)[sub n] and (AGAT)[sub n] sequence repeats and for Not I jumping clones. They have used the enriched libraries with an adaptation of the cDNA selection method to enrich for repeat motifs encoded in yeast artificial chromosomes.
