Problems solved by technology

[0003] The current 2015 edition of "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" recommends ITS2 sequence amplification primers as ITS2F / ITS3R, which still has certain limitations in species versatility. Difficulty in increasing (Chen Shilin, Chinese Pharmacopoeia Standard DNA Barcode Sequence of Chinese Medicinal Materials, Science Press), special primers need to be designed for PCR amplification of ITS2 sequence, which does not meet the general requirements of DNA barcode molecular identification method

Embodiment 1

[0025] The design of embodiment 1 ITS2 sequence amplification universal primer

[0026] 1. Massive data analysis: Compared with ITS2F / ITS3R published in 2010, the number of ITS sequences in GenBank has increased from about 300,000 to about 800,000. The inventors of the present application downloaded and obtained all about 800,000 sequences from GenBank, sorted and analyzed them, and used them as the basic data for the design of new primers for ITS2, and the data are more representative.

[0027] 2. K-mer modeling analysis: The traditional method of searching for conserved regions through multiple sequence alignment for primer design is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also easily misses important species taxa. The inventor adopts a brand-new primer design idea, first conducts 18-25bp k-mer analysis on the 5.8S rRNA region and 28S rRNA region, and screens candidate k-mer data sets covering all groups through modeling and frequency statistics, and then k-mer -me...

[0033] Example 2 ITS2 Sequence Amplification General Primer ITS2F1 / ITS2R1 PCR Amplification of Genomic DNA of Chinese Medicinal Materials

[0034] The PCR amplification of Chinese medicinal material genomic DNA comprises the following steps:

[0035] Step 1, pretreating the Chinese medicinal materials for testing and extracting its genomic DNA;

[0036] For DNA extraction, Tiangen Plant Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Tiangen Biotech Co., China) was used, and its operation procedure was modified to obtain high-quality DNA. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0037] a) Weigh about 10 mg of dried leaves, wash them with 70% ethanol, dry them with absorbent paper, put them into EP tubes and grind them on a MM400 ball mill (Retsch, Germany).

[0038] b) Take 700ul 65°C preheated buffer GP1 and quickly add it to the centrifuge tube containing the powder (add mercaptoethanol to the preheated GP1 before the experiment to make the final concentration 0.1%), quickly invert and m...

[0055] Example 3 Comparison of PCR amplification efficiency between ITS2 sequence amplification universal primer ITS2F1 / ITS2R1 of the present invention and 2015 "People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia" recommended primer ITS2F / ITS3R

[0056] In this example, the above two sets of primers ITS2F1 / ITS2R1 and ITS2F / ITS3R were used to perform PCR amplification on the genomic DNA of representative medicinal plants of 67 families respectively, and the success rate of the amplification was compared. The results are shown in the following table :

[0057]

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] From the above results, it can be seen that the PCR amplification success rate of the ITS2 sequence amplification general primer ITS2F1 / ITS2R1 provided by the present invention is as high as 95.52%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a universal primer for ITS2 sequence amplification, wherein the forward primer sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No.1, and the reverse primer sequence is as shown in SEQ ID No.2.The invention also discloses a method for identifying traditional Chinese medicine materials and a kit. The limitation of the currently adopted ITS2 bar code amplification primer ITS2F / ITS3R on universality is overcome, the universality of the primer is increased to 20 percent and important value in the field of identification of the traditional Chinese medicine materials is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of molecular biology detection, in particular to a universal primer for ITS2 sequence amplification and application thereof, and a method and kit for identifying Chinese medicinal materials. Background technique [0002] The DNA barcode molecular identification method uses a recognized and relatively short DNA sequence in the genome for species identification. It is versatile, stable, and accurate. It has been included in the national pharmacopoeias of China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, and is currently mainly used for medicinal purposes. Identification of plants, medicinal materials and some decoction pieces. DNA barcode molecular identification of Chinese herbal medicines is usually a method system based on ITS2 (ribosomal DNA second internal transcribed spacer) barcode sequence identification of Chinese herbal medicines. [0003] The current 2015 edition of "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Repu...
