Benefits of technology

The present patent provides a simple and direct method for amplifying DNA using a single reaction mixture and a single programmable thermocycling reaction. This method can amplify trace amounts of DNA from small samples, such as bloodstains on a solid medium. The method also includes a precipitation method for processing DNA samples on a solid medium, which simplifies the preparation of DNA samples for genetic analysis or DNA amplification. The method uses a reaction mixture containing a DNA sample, two primers, and a heat-stable DNA polymerase. The DNA sample is denatured, annealed with the primers, and incubated to allow the polymerase to synthesize complementary DNA strands. The resulting DNA product is then amplified using the heat-stable DNA polymerase. The method can be used with various DNA polymerases and is efficient, consistent, and adaptable to a wide range of DNA samples.

Problems solved by technology

Other known methods of preparing DNA samples stored on a solid medium for genetic analysis or DNA amplification are inefficient and inconsistent, thereby limiting the usefulness of the information obtained from the DNA samples.

example 1

[0202]The efficiency of PCR™ amplification of DNA samples stored on FTA paper processed using the presently disclosed precipitation method and the commercially produced FTA Purification Reagent (manufactured by Whatman) protocol was compared. First, four bloodstain DNA samples stored on FTA paper were processed using the disclosed precipitation method according to the following protocol: A small circle (1-3 mm) in the FTA paper sample was excised by the commercial Harris Micro-Punch manufactured by Shunderson Communication, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and washed with distilled water. The circle was transferred to a 96-well plate and soaked in 200 μl of DD H2O for 20 minutes. The water was changed and the circle was soaked in water again for 5 minutes. The water was next replaced with 200 μl of 0.3M NaOAc / Ethanol (50 / 50 v / v) solution and the paper was soaked for 5 minutes to fix the genomic DNA on the paper. The solution was removed and the paper was washed in 200 μl of 80% ethanol for ...

example 2

[0206]The method of amplifying whole genomic DNA of the present disclosure was used to amplify genomic DNA from bovine bloodstain samples stored on FTA paper. This method combines DNA extraction and amplification in a single operation by allowing genomic DNA in a bovine bloodstain sample to be amplified in a single reaction mixture using a single thermocycling reaction. Therefore, this method greatly reduces the risk of sample contamination and facilitates high-throughput screening. Additionally, 96-well or 384-well plates can be utilized for amplification of genomic DNA stored on FTA paper using the presently disclosed methods, which greatly facilitates a high-throughput operation. The utility and efficiency of the presently disclosed method of DNA amplification was tested by comparing PCR amplification of a known bovine SNP locus using DNA amplified by the disclosed method and DNA bound directly to FTA paper. In both experiments, the DNA samples stored on FTA paper were processed ...

example 3

[0212]To compare the efficiency of the presently disclosed method of DNA amplification, DNA samples stored on FTA paper were first processed using the presently disclosed precipitation method or the commercial FTA Purification Reagent protocol, and then amplified according to the disclosed DNA amplification method. Two sets of punches from six different bloodstains stored on FTA paper were first treated using either the disclosed precipitation method or the FTA Purification Reagent protocol as outlined in Example 1. Next, the two sets of DNA samples were amplified according to the disclosed DNA amplification method, as outlined in Example 2.

[0213]FIG. 4. demonstrates the results of genomic DNA amplification using the disclosed method of DNA amplification. The figure compares the efficiency of the disclosed DNA amplification method when the DNA sample is processed using the FTA Purification Reagent protocol (lanes 2-7) versus the disclosed precipitation method (lanes 8-13). FIG. 4. c...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods of DNA amplification with a first primer that has a random sequence of nucleotides at its 3′ end and a generic sequence 5′ of the random nucleotides, as well as a second primer with the generic sequence of the first primer. The disclosure further relates to a method of precipitating DNA on a solid medium to improve DNA amplification. In a preferred embodiment, the presently disclosed methods are used for high-throughput genotyping of DNA samples, such as bloodstains or trace amounts of DNA.
