Product Details

PyroMark Q24应用焦磷酸测序技术,对序列突变和表观遗传学甲基化进行实时的基于序列的检测和定量。PyroMark Q24非常适合用于分析CpG位点甲基化、SNPs、插入/缺失、STR、基因拷贝数变异以及微生物鉴定和抗性分型。

Performance

高度适用于表观遗传学研究的检测工具

焦磷酸测序技术配合QIAGEN表观遗传学产品线,提供高度可靠的序列数据,能够准确、灵敏的定量分析甲基化水平(参见" CpG methylation analysis of the MLH1 gene")。甚至能够检测新的突变,以及低水平的DNA异常甲基化。PyroMark Q24包括了一个完整软件包,用于分析CpG位点甲基化,以及用于确认亚硫酸氢盐处理彻底与否的内置的对照。

定量分析单个CpG位点

分析单个CpG位点对于研究各种肿瘤基因的异常表达是非常重要的(参见" CpG methylation pattern in the RASSF1A gene")。由于传统方法获得的数据分辨率低,通常灵敏度不高。焦磷酸测序技术克服了这一局限,可高度精确地分析有一个或多个CpG位点的甲基化序列单个位点的变化。

焦磷酸测序反应步骤:

步骤1:扩增DNA片段,作为焦磷酸测序模板的单链是生物素标记的。变性后,分离生物素标记的单链PCR扩增子,与测序引物杂交。杂交的引物和单链模板同各种酶,包括DNA聚合酶、ATP硫酸化酶、荧光素酶、三磷酸腺苷双磷酸酶以及底物腺苷酰硫酸(APS)和荧光素一起孵育(参见" Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 1")。

步骤2:第一个脱氧核苷三磷酸(dNTP)加入反应中,在DNA聚合酶的作用下,dNTP结合到DNA链上与其互补的碱基位。每次结合都会释放与核苷酸相等摩尔量的焦磷酸(PPi)(参见" Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 2")。

步骤3:在有APS的条件下,ATP硫酸化酶将PPi转化为ATP。在这个ATP的驱动下,荧光素酶将荧光素转化为氧化荧光素,并产生可见光,可见光的量与ATP的量成正比。通过电荷耦合(CCD)相机即可检测到荧光素酶催化反应产生的可见光,并在原始数据输出(Pyrogram)中显示为一个峰,每个峰的高度(光信号)与结合的核苷酸数量成正比(参见" Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 3")。

步骤4:三磷酸腺苷双磷酸酶,是一种核苷酸降解酶,会降解未结合的核苷酸与ATP。完全降解后,加入另一个核苷酸(参见" Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 4")。

步骤5:持续添加dNTP。α-硫代脱氧腺苷三磷酸(dATPαS)在反应中用于替代天然脱氧腺苷三磷酸(dATP),这是因为DNA聚合酶可高效的应用前者,而不被荧光素酶识别。当该过程连续进行时,就会形成互补的DNA链,可根据Pyrogram追踪的信号峰确定核苷酸序列(参见" Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 5")。

Procedure

快速方便的样本制备

从PCR产物到直接用于测序的单链模板,应用PyroMark Q24 Vacuum Workstation可在15分钟内同时制备24个样本。该工作站操作简单,且手动时间少于5分钟。

在焦磷酸测序之前,形成了一个生物素标记的PCR产物,该产物结合到覆盖链酶亲和素的琼脂糖凝胶珠上。这些胶珠会被真空仪器捕捉并彻底清洗,随后变性,得到适合于焦磷酸测序的单链DNA。该模板DNA放入含测序引物的焦磷酸测序反应板中,随后引物退火,再将该板放入PyroMark仪器中即可。PyroMark Gold试剂包含用于焦磷酸测序反应的酶、核苷酸和底物,将这些试剂加入分配吸头或卡夹(取决于仪器),按照软件中提供的体积,试剂被加入到仪器中,用于焦磷酸测序。

Applications

焦磷酸测序技术对各个领域的研究应用至关重要。焦磷酸测序技术能够灵敏的分析遗传学和表观遗传学的变化,如检测病原体中药物抗性的发展,基因表达分析中表观遗传学DNA甲基化的作用、牲畜特异性表现型的遗传标记,以及法医检材样本中线粒体DNA的多态性。此外,由于焦磷酸测序技术整合了序列检测和定量,提高了分析灵敏度,助于发现新的信息。

FAQ

What are the differences between new PyroMark Q24 Advanced reagents chemistry and PyroMark Q24 Gold reagents?

The PyroMark Q24 Advanced reagent kit contains an improved enzyme and substrate mix and a new annealing buffer for the new adapted annealing procedure (adapted reaction volume of 20 µl and adapted annealing protocol). Moreover, the kit also contains binding buffer and the dATPalpha is half concentrated.

FAQ ID -3165
How does the built-in QC control for complete bisulfite conversion of DNA work on PyroMark Q24?

Data generated with the methylation analysis software (detection and quantification of CpG sites) on PyroMark Q24 contains unique features that act as quality control for complete bisulfite conversion of DNA. When the assay encounters a C not followed by a G (C unmethylated), that C should be fully converted to T if the bisulfite treatment upfront was successful. Subsequently, it should be presented in the pyrogram as T = 100%. This acts as a useful quality control for full conversion of unmethylated C residues during bisulfite treatment and PCR.

FAQ ID -2095
What is the use of the PyroMark Q24 Validation Oligo?
The PyroMark Q24 Validation Oligo was developed to check the performance of the PyroMark Q24 system. It consists of two biotinylated oligonucleotides that only differ in one position (A or G) of the sequence. By mixing different proportions of the two oligonucleotides in replicates the linearity, bias and reproducibility of the system can be determined.
FAQ ID -2855
How do I perform the PyroMark Q24 Advanced upgrade?

The upgrade can be performed by the user since it only requires installation of the application software and download and installation of the new firmware according to instruction in the Q24 user manual. A service engineer will not be required onsite for the upgrade.

FAQ ID -3163
Is it possible to use PyroMark Q24 Advanced reagents on PyroMark Q24 system?

PyroMark Q24 Advanced reagents should only be used in combination with PyroMark Advanced system. Usage of these reagents on PyroMark Q24 system will result in decreased pyrosequencing performance and low signals.

FAQ ID -3160
We recently changed the OS from Windows XP to Windows 7. When re-installing software Pyromark Q24 2.0.6, it fails to analyze the results. Any suggestions?

Please install software 2.0.7, which is compatible with Windows 7, 64 and 32 bit.

FAQ ID - 3621
What is the amplicon length of the PyroMark CpG LINE assay?
The amplicon length of the PyroMark CpG LINE-1 PCR product is about 146 bp. for PyroMark Q24 and PyroMark Q96 MD.
2856
Does the PyroMark LINE assay target all LINE sequences?
The PyroMark assay is designed to cover LINE-1 retrotransposable elements in the genome. Those differ slightly in sequence and it might be that not all are picked up by our LINE-1 assay. The intention of the assay is to cover as many as possible of the LINE-1 sequences.
2860
What region of LINE gets targeted by the assay for PyroMark Q96 MD or PyroMark Q24?

The PyroMark Q96 CpG LINE-1 for PyroMark Q96 MD is designed to target four CpG sites in positions 331 to 305 (GenBank accession no X58075). The PyroMark Q24 CpG LINE-1 assay for PyroMark Q24 targets three CpG sites in positions 331 to 318 (GenBank accession no X58075). The target region is human LINE-1 transposon DNA consensus sequence.

2857
How long does a single run on the PyroMark Q24 take?

The estimated dispensation time is 1 min/nucleotide.

FAQ ID -2096
How accurate and reliable is PyroMark Q24 in mutation analysis?

PyroMark Q24 uses pyrosequencing technology for mutation analysis and provides a built-in quality control in each run. By sequencing nucleotides flanking the mutation of interest, the researcher gets confirmation that the assay was made at the correct position. In addition, blank dispensations are included in the assay providing a negative control of the run.
