Whole exome sequencing (WES) focuses on sequencing protein coding regions sequencing RNA is now being sequenced but with other type of technology cDNA sequencing cDNA is made from mRNA and gives information regarding which includes nanopores expression Patient lymphocytes are cultured (grown in media) and arrested Analysis of chromosomes to detect chromosomal abnormalities like Triploidy, in metaphase by the addition of a spindle inhibitor like large deletions, duplications, translocations and inversions. Resolution, must be G-banding colchicine. Chromosomes are fixed to slide and dyed with larger than > 5 Mb, or must change banding pattern. Can be combined with FISH if Giemsa which produces characteristic banding patterns. (AT-rich a microdeletion is suspected regions stain deep purple) CGH – copy number variants (duplications or deletions but never useful A method that allows for the simultaneous analysis of thousands for translocations) of DNA sequences. It involves hybridizing DNA samples to a solid SNP – genotyping/haplotyping, UPD (when comparing to both parents) Can give Microarray support containing immobilized probes. Microarrays are used for information on duplications and deletions when a loss of heterozygosity is gene expression profiling, genotyping, and detecting copy identified number variations. Expression – compare gene expression between to populations of cells (different tissue, diseased vs. normal tissue in same organ) can be RNA or cDNA Metaphase – performed on cells that have been cultured and arrested in metaphase, can be performed on same samples prepared for G-banding A technique that uses fluorescent probes to detect specific DNA Interphase – performed on cells fixed to a slide with no need for culturing, Fluorescence In Situ sequences on chromosomes. FISH is commonly used to identify sometimes referred to as Rapid FISH Hybridization (FISH) chromosomal abnormalities, such as gene rearrangements or SKY FISH – thousands of probes designed to color each chromosome in a aneuploidies. particular color, best to see cancer rearrangements, not informative for duplications or deletions, can be metaphase or interphase DNA Polymerase chain reaction A technique used to amplify a specific DNA sequence. It involves Triplet expansion repeats, VNTR or STR fingerprinting, deletions by PCR sizing, (not a genomic test but in cycles of denaturation, annealing, and extension using DNA amplifying regions of DNA for further testing this lecture) polymerase. 40 Some specific points for students to use as study guide: Genetic & Genomic Tests Can you differentiate between indirect and direct methods of mutation detection? Can you outline the laboratory techniques, analyze, compare and contrast, and interpret results of some of the common tests that are used for molecular diagnosis of mutations Can you discuss how sizing of PCR products may be useful in genetic diagnosis Use of PCR of regions that have variable amounts of repeat expansions (such as VNTR and STR – use in gene mapping, forensics, and paternity testing diagnosis of triplet repeat disorders by Southern blot and by PCR sizing Are you able to compare and contrast the limitations and advantages of each of the molecular tests Explain to your friend how the following techniques are used to understand chromosomal abnormalities: karyotyping, chromosome banding (staining), FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization, SKY (spectral karyotyping), array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization), array SNP chips Compare, contrast, analyze and differentiate between techniques that are able to identify whole chromosome defects (aneuploidy) and chromosomal microdeletions Describe how chromosomal analysis can identify: Aneuploidy Mapping of chromosomal breakpoints Detection of subtle translocations Characterization of complex rearrangements Gains, losses and amplifications of DNA Can you describe the general concept of NGS (next generation sequencing) Discuss with your friend about nucleic acid-based microarrays cDNA microarrays (gene expression at the mRNA level) Array CGH SNP chips Compare and contrast the effects of and discuss the various types of mutation that occur in the genome including: substitution (missense, nonsense) insertion/deletion (in-frame, frameshift) splice-site amplification of repeat sequence, genomic instability regulatory mutation (promoter, regulatory element) Clinical examples include diseases involving single base mutation (sickle cell anemia), and repeat expansion disorders (Fragile X, Huntington disease, myotonic dystrophy).
