摘要:
The present application provides polynucleotides comprising 5′-tails with sequence segments useful for the detection of target nucleic acid sequences, and methods for their use in detecting target nucleic acids. The polynucleotides are used to amplify a subsequence of a target nucleic acid in the presence of one or more ribonucleotides. The ribonucleotides are incorporated into amplification products at regular intervals complementary to the 5′-tail sequence segments. Cleavage of amplification products at the bond immediately 3′ to incorporated ribonucleotides produces detectably distinct fragments indicative of the presence or absence of a target nucleic acid.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method and device for withdrawing biological samples. The device has a receptacle which can receive one or several covers for sample containers, another receptacle which can receive one or several sample containers, and a mechanism. Said mechanism joins the covers and containers together during a working cycle in which the biological sample is withdrawn either through the cover or the sample container to a test capsule.

A method for the identification of DNA sequence elements in complex and highly variable sequences is described. The method considist of identifying a short sequence element of several DNA bases (2-6 bases) at a given position in the genome simultaneously on all parental alleles. The method allows differentiating mini-haplotypes on different alleles in one analysis. The method consists of carrying out an enzymatic primer extension reaction with a combination of extension primers (pool of primers) and analyzing the products by mass spectrometry. The pool of primers is assembled in such a way that the primer extension product allows unambiguous identification of both the primer of the pool that was extended and the base that was added. The method of great utility for DNA sequences harbouring many SNP's close to each other with many possible haplotypes. Such sequences are known in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). This method is particularly well suited for DNA-based HLA typing and in combination with a suitable selection of sites tested, it is superior in ease of operation to conventional HLA typing methods. We have identified sets of these assays for HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB 1 that allow unambiguous four-digit HLA of each of these genes with between 11 and 28 queried markers.
摘要:
The invention referres to a method for the preparation and selective replication of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from biomaterial using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for the analysis in time-of-flight mass spectrometers (TOF) with matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization (MALDI) for determining specific genetic features in biomaterial. The invention consists, in a first step, of replicating the selected DNA segments by the PCR method in the usual unmodified fashion, and in a further enzymatic replication process, to replicate the DNA segments using modified substrates (the nucleic acids used for PCR) and specially prepared primers to such DNA analogs as are especially suitable for ionization by MALDI. Preparation of the primers particularly consists of introducing a charged group, which improves the ionization, and modification of the substrates is used to neutralize the negative charge on the phosphoric acid group of the DNA backbone. It is especially practical to immobilize the DNA on a surface for the fmal enzymatic reduplication process, for example on a prepared MALDI layer located on magnetic beads. In the final reduplication process, extremely little reagent is used, thus it is also possible in terms of low cost to use isotope-enriched material here in order to increase the mass resolving power.

摘要:
The invention presents a method for examining genetic material (deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA) to detect the presence of pre-known mutations, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), using mass spectrometry with ionization by matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI). The invention uses nucleoside triphosphates with modified sites for the method of primer extension in a duplicating, enzymatic reaction and at least partially removal of primers from the extension product, in combination with product neutralization by chemical treatment of the modified sites, so that the resulting DNA products can be, by using special matrix materials, preferredly ionized in an adduct-free form over other constituents in the reaction solution without any further cleaning. The method is particularly suitable for simultaneous identification of several mutations by multiplexing.
