The invention provides a design method of a specific
gene probe for detecting pathogenic microorganisms, and belongs to the technical field of
microorganism detection. Comprising the following steps: acquiring
reference genome data of target
pathogenic bacteria,
reference genome data of all species belonging to the same
genus as the target
pathogenic bacteria and
genome data of all strains under the target
pathogenic bacteria species; comparing the
reference genome data of the target pathogenic
bacteria with the reference
genome data of all target pathogenic
bacteria congeneric species by using MUMmer to obtain all fragments in the reference
genome of the target pathogenic
bacteria, wherein the
base number of the fragments is greater than or equal to 20 when the fragments are continuously compared with the reference genomes of other congeneric microorganisms, and the
base number of the fragments is greater than or equal to 20 when the fragments are continuously compared with the reference genomes of other congeneric microorganisms; recording starting base sites and ending base sites of all fragments; breaking a reference genome of the target pathogenic bacteria into a 50nt k-mer set, and filtering out non-specific fragments in the 50nt k-mer set to obtain an initial candidate probe set; filtering the initial candidate probe set to obtain a candidate probe set 3; and filtering the candidate probe set 3 to obtain a specific probe set. According to the design method, the specific probe is directly mined in the
genomic data of the pathogenic microorganisms, large-scale probe design work can be competent, the designed probe has excellent resolution, the accuracy of
pathogenic microorganism detection can be improved, and accurate detection of the pathogenic microorganisms is achieved.
