Abstract

The invention provides a fluorescence quantitative in-situ hybridization (Q-FISH) method for determination of telomere length by using genomic DNA, wherein the method comprises the steps: the genomicDNA is fixed on a glass slide and then is hybridized with a telomere-specific PNA probe, and fluorescence data are collected; the method is also suitable for determination of the telomere lengths of split active and senescent cells; a plurality of telomere length parameters comprising the average telomere length, the telomere length variation and the frequency of abnormal-length telomeres can be obtained, and the defect that the telomere function is evaluated by single dependency of the average telomere length to obtain information is eliminated. The invention also provides a stronger-specificity telomere-specificity PNA probe, TTAGGG is shortened to 2 repetitions, the amount of the probe is reduced by half and a fluorescence signal is doubled. The invention also provides a telomere lengthstandard and a preparation method thereof, wherein the telomere length standard can be used for measuring the base length of each telomere and also can be used as calibration standard for different tests. If the automatic detection method is adopted, a large number of samples can be processed, and the method saves manpower compared with other methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring the length of individual telomeres using genomic DNA, a standard product of telomere length and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a fluorescence quantitative in situ hybridization (Q-FISH) method for measuring telomere length using genomic DNA ) method, belonging to the field of molecular biology detection. Background technique [0002] Telomere is a small piece of DNA-protein complex located at the end of linear chromosomes in eukaryotic cells. Its function is to protect the ends of chromosomal DNA and avoid degradation, end fusion and abnormal recombination of chromosomal DNA. In mammalian cells, telomeric DNA consists of tandem repeats of the sequence TTAGGG. Each division of a cell is accompanied by the loss of a small sequence of telomeric DNA due to the duplication of the ends of the DNA. Every division of a cell will be accompanied by the shortening of the telomere at the end of the ...
