Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for detecting multi-target gene-edited plants based on liquid-phase gene chips. Background Technology
[0002] Plant gene editing technology is one of the core breakthroughs in modern agricultural technology, promoting efficient and sustainable agricultural development, ensuring food security, and enhancing industrial value. By improving crop traits through gene editing, it is possible to increase crop yield, enhance stress resistance, and improve quality characteristics, thus addressing the pain points of traditional breeding. For example, base editing technology can be used to edit the acetolactate synthase (ALS) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase genes (Rui Zhang et al., Nature Plants (2019) Genetically modified wheat germplasm with herbicide tolerance mutations was generated, conferring tolerance to sulfonylureas, imidazolides, and aryloxyphenoxypropionates. These herbicide tolerance traits provide a potentially powerful tool for weed management. In addition, gene editing of soybean endogenous fatty acid dehydrogenase significantly increased the oleic acid content in soybean seeds, reaching over 80%. Gene sequencing is the core method for validating and assessing the safety of gene-edited plants, mainly used to confirm the precise information of gene editing sites and to determine the existence of off-target effects.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream DNA sequencing technologies include Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing (NGS), molecular hybridization, and microarray hybridization, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of throughput, sensitivity, cost, and application scope.
[0004] 1) Sanger sequencing uses the dideoxy chain termination method, which terminates DNA synthesis by introducing dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) lacking 3'-OH groups, and separates fragments of different lengths by gel electrophoresis to read the sequence. Although this method is highly accurate, it has low throughput and long cycle time, and is suitable for short fragment sequencing and single point mutation verification. It has insufficient sensitivity for detecting low-frequency mutations (e.g., mutation rate < 1%) and cannot meet the demand for large-scale sequencing. 2) High-throughput sequencing (NGS) can achieve parallel sequencing of a large number of DNA fragments. Although NGS significantly improves sequencing throughput, it still has the following shortcomings: PCR amplification during library construction can introduce errors and increase the proportion of repetitive sequences, resulting in waste of sequencing resources; the read length is short, limiting its effectiveness in complex structural regions or long read length applications; the amount of data is large, requiring high computing resources, storage and analysis capabilities; the parallel detection capability for multiple mutation sites is limited, and false positive results are prone to occur; and cross-species parallel detection is difficult. 3) Molecular hybridization methods include amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR), which are sensitive to single base mutation detection but difficult to achieve simultaneous detection of multiple sites, and require strict primer design and reaction conditions. 4) Chip hybridization techniques include solid-phase chips and liquid-phase chips. Solid-phase chips: probes are fixed on solid supports, and the complementary sequence is determined by hybridization fluorescence intensity, which can achieve multiple SNP detection, but the production process is complex, the development cost is high, and the cycle is long; liquid-phase chips: probes are fixed on microspheres, and are detected by fluorescent dye classification or combined with targeted capture and NGS library construction to improve capture efficiency, but still rely on complex probe design and hybridization condition optimization.
[0005] In summary, the existing sequencing and detection methods have significant shortcomings in throughput, sensitivity, multiple site parallel detection, cross-species adaptability, and cost efficiency, and cannot accurately distinguish between edited and unedited samples.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new base editing detection method to distinguish between edited and unedited samples. SUMMARY

[0037] The present application designs capture probes for detecting gene editing materials in different species, and constructs a liquid chip using the capture probes, to achieve the following effects: 1. High-throughput detection Traditional Sanger sequencing or PCR detection methods can only detect a single variation at a time, and it is difficult to cover multiple gene editing regions. The present application designs multiple specific probes in the liquid chip system, which can be designed for multiple sites and simultaneously detect multiple editing targets. It can detect single base variation while detecting multiple types of editing events, and perform precise, efficient, high-specificity, multi-site, and multi-editing type detection. It can simultaneously capture multiple gene editing sites and their adjacent regions in one detection, and perform high-throughput parallel detection.
[0038] 2. Increase the accuracy of data The application effectively improves the sequencing accuracy and the target region coverage, and enhances the reliability of the sequencing results by sequencing the DNA library captured by the liquid phase chip through a high-throughput sequencing platform and through a standardized bioinformatics analysis process. Compared with other sequencing methods, the sequencing coverage uniformity of the application is excellent, the Fold80 value is close to 1.00, and the accuracy of the sequencing data is ensured.
[0039] 3. Saving detection cost and reducing detection design investment Compared with Sanger sequencing and NGS sequencing, the application relies on probe capture of the target region, enriches the target region, and then performs sequencing. The application avoids multiple primer design, reduces the design time required, and does not need to establish a PCR system. Only the target material needs to be processed and the specific probe of the target region needs to be designed, which greatly reduces the reagent use and manual design investment.
[0040] 4. Widely applied to multi-species detection and having universality The application is not only suitable for single-species sequencing, but also can be used for sequencing of multiple species such as wheat and soybean, and is a universal gene editing event detection platform, which provides a reliable detection tool for agricultural molecular design breeding and promotes the development of molecular breeding.
[0041] In summary, the capture probe of the application has high detection sensitivity for variations, generally high sequencing depth, and reliable results. The application can simultaneously detect variations at different positions on different chromosomes and realize parallel detection. The detection method based on the liquid phase gene chip of the application can realize parallel detection of multiple sites, multiple samples, and cross-species, and can accurately identify single-base mutations.

[0063] 1. Design probes for wild type sequence and edited sequence of gene editing The following multiple factors are considered in the probe design process: probe length, GC content, melting temperature (Tm value), and off-target efficiency, to ensure the stability and specificity of the probe. The design principles of the capture probe are as follows: the GC content index is highly positively correlated with the annealing temperature, and the GC content is preferably selected within the range of 45%-55%; in addition, the specific binding of the probe and the DNA template is checked by blast software, and the probe with high specificity is selected; in addition, the position of the probe in the target region, and the probe close to the target region is preferably selected. A set of scoring rules is obtained, and the probes with high scores are selected for synthesis and used in the next step.
[0064] Three probes are designed for wheat gene editing material detection, as follows: The present application first compares the wild type sequence and the edited sequence of the target gene according to the target gene sequence information, and designs the probe sequence corresponding to the editing region: 100bp is selected as the target region from the editing region of the wheat acetyl lactate synthase gene (TaALS-A, gene number TraesCS6A02G288000) on chromosome 6A; then capture probe PROBE19 is designed according to the target region, and the information is shown in Table 1, and the capture probe is combined with the corresponding target region.
[0065] 100bp is selected as the target region from the editing region of the wheat acetyl lactate synthase gene (TaALS-B, gene number TraesCS6B02G317400) on chromosome 6B; then capture probe PROBE20 is designed according to the target region, and the information is shown in Table 1, and the capture probe is combined with the corresponding target region.
[0066] 100bp is selected as the target region from the corresponding region of the wheat acetyl lactate synthase gene on chromosome 6D according to the similarity of the wheat acetyl lactate synthase gene on chromosome 6A and chromosome 6B; then off-target probe PROBE21 is designed according to the target region, and the information is shown in Table 1, and the off-target probe is combined with the corresponding target region.
[0067] The information of various target probes is shown in Table 1 as follows: Table 1 is the probe sequence of the present example
[0068] The information of various probe target regions is shown in Table 2 as follows: Table 2 capture probe design region information
[0069] 2. Preparation of liquid chip and high-throughput sequencing The probes in Table 1 above are subjected to single-stranded DNA synthesis, and a biotin modification is added to the 5' end to obtain a liquid chip for detecting wheat gene editing materials.
[0070] The genomic DNA of the material to be tested is subjected to ultrasonic or enzyme treatment to form short fragments (250 bp) of appropriate length, and a DNA sequencing library with adaptors is constructed. To prevent non-specific binding of the adaptors to the probes, blocking primers are added for blocking; then the liquid chip for detecting wheat gene editing materials is added to the system, and the complementary target sequences in the library hybridize under appropriate conditions; the complex formed by the probes and the target fragments is captured by streptavidin magnetic beads through the high affinity between biotin and streptavidin, and then the unbound non-target fragments are removed by magnetic separation. The fragments that fail to hybridize to the probes are washed away, and the target fragment DNA is enriched. Subsequently, the enriched product is sequenced by a high-throughput sequencing platform.
[0071] The material to be tested is the homozygous offspring of known wheat gene editing materials and the homozygous offspring of known wheat gene unedited materials. TaMu-1, TaMu-2, TaMu-3, and TaMu-4 are T5 generation homozygous offspring samples (10 mixed samples) of wheat gene editing materials. TaWT-1, TaWT-2, TaWT-3, and TaWT-4 are T5 generation homozygous offspring (10 mixed samples) of wheat gene unedited materials. The T5 generation homozygous offspring of the wheat gene editing material changes the CCC mutation to TTT in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-A in the Kenong 199 genome corresponding to the 520441396-520441398 position of chromosome 6A of the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1), and changes the CC mutation to TT in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-B corresponding to the 565393903-565393904 position of chromosome 6B of the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1), and the other nucleotide residues remain unchanged, and the nucleotide residues in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-D corresponding to the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1) of chromosome 6D remain unchanged.
[0072] The T5 generation homozygous offspring of the wheat gene unedited material is the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-A, TaALS-B, and TaALS-D in the Kenong 199 genome corresponding to the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1) unchanged.
[0073] In subsequent applications, the material to be tested can be wheat or its offspring after gene editing on the wheat acetolactate synthase gene.
[0074] In the present application, multiple probes are designed to simultaneously detect multiple sites and efficiently and specifically enrich.
[0075] After sequencing, the sequencing data is analyzed using bioinformatics analysis procedures: first, the sequencing data is quality controlled and low-quality reads are removed. Then the reads are aligned to the reference genome, and the editing event occurrence and InDel situation in the probe targeting region are analyzed, the type and frequency of gene editing events are determined, and low-frequency variations are also captured sensitively. By synchronous verification of the target site and the upstream and downstream coverage area, the sensitivity and accuracy of detection can be improved, and unexpected InDel event occurrence can also be detected.
[0076] The sequencing results of the three probe targeting regions are visualized using IGV visualization software, as shown in Figures 5-7 It can be seen that PROBE19, PROBE20 and PROBE21 can realize detection of wheat gene editing materials.
[0077] II. Liquid chip detection of wheat gene editing materials 1. Liquid chip detection of wheat gene editing materials According to the method of 2 of 1, the prepared liquid chip for detecting wheat gene editing materials is used to detect the wheat to be tested, and the sequencing results of different materials are obtained.
[0078] The wheat to be tested is the homozygous offspring of known wheat gene editing materials and the homozygous offspring of known wheat gene unedited materials.

[0080] TaWT-1, TaWT-2, TaWT-3 and TaWT-4 are respectively T5 generation homozygous offspring (10 mixed samples) of wheat gene unedited materials.
[0081] The T5 generation homozygous offspring of the wheat gene editing material all have the CCC mutation changed to TTT in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-A in the Kengen 199 genome corresponding to the 520441396-520441398 position of chromosome 6A of the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1), and the CC mutation changed to TT in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-B corresponding to the 565393903-565393904 position of chromosome 6B of the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1), and the other nucleotide residues are unchanged, and the nucleotide residues in the acetyl-CoA synthase gene TaALS-D corresponding to the reference genome (common wheat Chinese Spring, version CS v1.1) of chromosome 6D are unchanged.

[0083] 2, Efficiency verification of capture probe The sequencing results obtained in the above 1 were subjected to the mem module of the bwa software (0.7.17-r1198), and the sequencing data subjected to data cleaning was aligned to the reference genome; the original aligned bam file was subjected to merging, sorting, indexing, etc. by the samtools v1.8 software, to obtain basic alignment data information.
[0084] The capture efficiency of the PROBE19, PROBE20 and PROBE21 probe capture probe is shown in Table 3. It can be seen that the proportion of sequencing data aligned to the genome is 99.96%, and the alignment quality is excellent; since the probe sequence is only used to capture the target sequence in the library, the target sequence is often much longer than the probe binding target region, so the proportion of each sample falling in the probe binding target region is 0.01% on average; considering the upstream and downstream 100bp of the probe binding target region, the proportion falling in the region is 0.08% on average; the depth of each sample falling in the probe binding target region is 402.95 on average, and the coverage of the probe target binding region is 100%; Fold80 is an important index for probe design capture, representing the average sequencing depth multiple required to reach 80% uniform coverage, and is used to measure the uniformity of sequencing. In this experiment, Fold80 is 1.07 on average, and the capture coverage uniformity is very good; and the proportion of target region coverage depth exceeding 90x is 100.00% on average, and the coverage depth and uniformity are very good.

In the variant type, the last two numbers represent the read number of the reference genome base type and the variant base type supporting the variant, respectively. For example, “C / C:250,0” indicates that the base type of this material is C / C, and 250 reads support the base type (C) of the reference genome at this position; no read supports the variant base type (T) at this position.
[0090] The variant detection results of the PROBE21 capture probe are shown in Table 5, TaMu-1-4 is a gene editing variety, and TaWT-1-4 is a wild type variety. It can be seen that the base editing product is successfully detected, and no InDel is generated. The specific information is as shown in Table 8. Figure 6 .

In the variation type: the last two numbers represent the read number of the reference genome base type and the variant base type supporting the variation, respectively. For example, "C / C: 250, 0" indicates that the base type of this material is C / C, and 250 reads support the base type (C) of the reference genome at this position; no read supports the variant base type (T) at this position.
[0093] As can be seen from the above, the chip of the application can accurately detect gene edited wheat and gene unedited wheat, and can simultaneously detect off-target effects.

[0105] The information of various probes is shown in Table 6: Table 6 is the probe design information
[0106] 2. Preparation of liquid chip and high-throughput sequencing The probes in Table 6 in the above 1 were subjected to single-stranded DNA synthesis, and biotin modification was added to the 5' end to obtain a liquid chip for detecting soybean gene editing materials.
[0107] The genomic DNA of the material to be tested was subjected to ultrasonic or enzyme treatment to form short fragments (250 bp) with appropriate length, and a DNA sequencing library with a linker was constructed. In order to prevent non-specific binding of the linker to the probe, blocking primers were added for blocking; then the liquid chip for detecting soybean gene editing materials was added to the system, and hybridization occurred between the complementary target sequences in the library under appropriate conditions; the complex formed by the probe and the target fragment was captured by streptavidin magnetic beads through the high affinity between biotin and streptavidin, and then the unbound non-target fragments were removed by magnetic separation; the fragments that failed to hybridize with the probe were washed away, and the target fragment DNA was enriched; then the high-throughput sequencing platform was used to sequence the enrichment product.

[0111] In the present application, multiple probes are designed to simultaneously detect multiple editing sites and efficiently and specifically enrich.
[0112] After sequencing, the sequencing data is analyzed by bioinformatics analysis process: first, the sequencing data is subjected to quality control, and low-quality reads are removed. Then, the reads are aligned to the reference genome, and the editing event occurrence and InDel situation in the probe targeting region are analyzed, the type and frequency of gene editing events are determined, and low-frequency variations are also sensitively captured.

[0114] The visualization screenshot is shown in Figures 1-4 As can be seen from the visualization screenshot, PROBE25, PROBE26, PROBE29 and PROBE30 can capture the gene editing target for verifying the occurrence of the gene editing event.
[0115] II. Application of soybean gene editing material in liquid chip detection of wheat gene editing 1. Liquid chip detection of soybean gene editing material According to the method of 2 of the above 1, the prepared liquid chip of soybean gene editing material was used to detect the soybean to be tested, and the sequencing results of different materials were obtained.
[0116] The soybean to be tested was the homozygous offspring of the known soybean gene editing material and the homozygous offspring of the known soybean gene unedited material.
[0117] P16-2, P16-3, P16-4 and P16-5 are T7 generation homozygous offspring samples (10 strains of mixed samples) of soybean gene editing materials, respectively.
[0118] S1, S2, S3 and S4 are T7 generation homozygous offspring (10 strains of mixed samples) of soybean gene unedited materials, respectively.
[0119] The T7 generation homozygous offspring of the soybean gene editing material is the soybean variety Zhonghuang 42, in which the G mutation corresponding to the 10th chromosome 51849167 in the reference genome (version number glyma.Zh13.gnm1) in the SoyZH13_10G256800 gene is changed to GA, other nucleotide residues remain unchanged, and the ATCTATTGGGTTCTCCAAGGTTGCCT mutation from the 10th chromosome 51849113 is changed to GA, other nucleotide residues remain unchanged, and the CATGGCCAATCT mutation corresponding to the 20th chromosome 39643612 in the reference genome (version number glyma.Zh13.gnm1) in the SoyZH13_20G098800 gene is changed to C, other nucleotide residues remain unchanged, and the CGA mutation from the 20th chromosome 39643673 is changed to C, other nucleotide residues remain unchanged.

[0121] 2. Efficiency verification of capture probe The sequencing results obtained in the above 1 were subjected to the mem module of the bwa software (0.7.17-r1198) to align the data cleaning sequencing data to the reference genome; the original aligned bam file was subjected to merging, sorting, indexing, etc. by the samtools v1.8 software to obtain basic alignment data information. The capture efficiency of the capture probe is shown in Table 6. It can be seen that the proportion of sequencing data aligned to the genome is 99.98%, and the alignment quality is excellent; since the probe sequence is only used to capture the target sequence in the library, the target sequence is often much longer than the probe binding target region, so the proportion of each sample falling in the probe binding target region is 1.00% on average; considering the upstream and downstream 100bp of the probe binding target region, the proportion falling in the region is 21.88% on average; the depth of each sample falling in the probe binding target region is 2255.81 on average, and the coverage of the probe binding target region is 97.92%. It is worth noting that the coverage reaches 100% in the wild type sample, which is inferred from the sequencing results that the probe covers the missing part of the short fragment in the library, resulting in a decrease in coverage. For example, PROBE29 detects an 11bp short fragment deletion, and PROBE30 detects a 2bp short fragment deletion, which partially overlaps with the probe binding target region; Fold80 is an important indicator for probe design capture, representing the average sequencing depth fold required to achieve 80% uniform coverage, and is used to measure the uniformity of sequencing. In this experiment, the Fold80 is 1.01 on average, and the capture coverage uniformity is very good; and the proportion of target region coverage depth exceeding 90x is 95.14% on average, and the coverage depth and uniformity are good.
[0122] Table 7 is the capture efficiency statistics of PROBE25, PROBE26, PROBE29 and PROBE30 probes
[0123] 3. Variation event detection The bam file obtained in the above 2 was combined with the bed file of the target editing region, and the SNP / INDEL of the editing region was identified by GATK (v 4.1.2) software and bedtools software.
[0124] The variant event detection results of the capture probes are shown in Table 8, P16-2, P16-3, P16-4, P16-5 are gene editing varieties, and S1, S2, S3 and S4 are wild type varieties. It can be seen that the base editing product is successfully detected by using the application. The specific information of PROBE25 and PROBE30 is shown in the following table Figure 1 and Figure 4 The specific information of PROBE26 and PROBE29 is shown in the following table Figure 2 and Figure 3 .
[0125] Table 8 is the SNP / INDEL results of the target region captured by PROBE25, PROBE26, PROBE29 and PROBE30 probes
[0126] In the above table, from left to right, the SNP / INDEL in the captured target region is in the chromosome, the physical position (the position of the first base as the physical position), the reference genome base type (the base of the wild type soybean), the variant base type (the base of the soybean gene editing material) and the SNP / INDEL variation type in P16-2, P16-3, P16-4 and P16-5. In the variation type, the last two numbers represent the read number of the reference genome base type and the variant base type supporting the variation. For example, "G / G:250,0" indicates that the base type of this material is G / G, of which 250 reads support the base type of this position as the reference genome (G); no read supports the base type of this position as the variant base type (GA); wt / wt represents the base type as the reference genome base type.
[0127] As can be seen from the above, the chip of the application successfully detects a variety of types of variations, including fragment deletion, base insertion or deletion (InDel) and the like. For example, single base insertion, 2bp, 11bp and 25bp short fragment deletion in this example. This example proves that the application has high detection sensitivity for variations, generally high sequencing depth, reliable results; can simultaneously detect multiple different types of variations at different positions, and realize parallel detection.
[0128] The application has been described in detail. For those skilled in the art, the application can be implemented in a wider range under the same parameters, concentrations and conditions without departing from the spirit and scope of the application and without unnecessary experiments. Although the application gives a specific example, it should be understood that the application can be further improved.
