Performance of a TthPrimPol-based whole genome amplification kit for copy number alteration detection using massively parallel sequencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Starting from only a few cells, current whole genome amplification (WGA) methods provide enough DNA to perform massively parallel sequencing (MPS). Unfortunately, all current WGA methods introduce representation bias which limits detection of copy number

The choice of universal primers and the characteristics of the species mixture determine when DNA metabarcoding can be quantitative

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2018
DNA metabarcoding is a technique used to survey biodiversity in many ecological settings, but there are doubts about whether it can provide quantitative results, that is, the proportions of each species in the mixture as opposed to a species list.

16S rRNA gene primer choice impacts off-target amplification in human gastrointestinal tract biopsies and microbiome profiling

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
16S rRNA amplicon sequencing or, more recently, metatranscriptomic analysis are currently the only preferred methods for microbial profiling of samples containing a predominant ratio of human to bacterial DNA. However, due to the off-target amplification

A primer on the oxDNA model of DNA: When to use it, how to simulate it and how to interpret the results [PDF]

open access: yesFront. Mol. Biosci. 8, 693710 (2021), 2021
The oxDNA model of DNA has been applied widely to systems in biology, biophysics and nanotechnology. It is currently available via two independent open source packages. Here we present a set of clearly-documented exemplar simulations that simultaneously provide both an introduction to simulating the model, and a review of the model's fundamental ...

16S rRNA gene sequencing of mock microbial populations- impact of DNA extraction method, primer choice and sequencing platform [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
peer-reviewedBackground Next-generation sequencing platforms have revolutionised our ability to investigate the microbiota composition of complex environments, frequently through 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the bacterial component of the

MiFish, a set of universal PCR primers for metabarcoding environmental DNA from fishes: detection of more than 230 subtropical marine species

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
We developed a set of universal PCR primers (MiFish-U/E) for metabarcoding environmental DNA (eDNA) from fishes. Primers were designed using aligned whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences from 880 species, supplemented by partial mitogenome ...

An efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We developed an efficient method for DNA extraction from Cladosporioid fungi, which are important fungal plant pathogens. The cell wall of Cladosporioid fungi is often melanized, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from their cells.

New universal ITS2 primers for high-resolution herbivory analyses using DNA metabarcoding in both tropical and temperate zones

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly growing technique for obtaining detailed dietary information. Current metabarcoding methods for herbivory, using a single locus, can lack taxonomic resolution for some applications.

Ten polymorphic microsatellite primers in the tropical tree caimito, Chrysophyllum cainito (Sapotaceae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
UnlabelledPremise of the studyWe developed microsatellite primers for the tropical tree Chrysophyllum cainito (Sapotaceae) to determine the native range of the species, investigate the origin of cultivated populations, and examine the partitioning of ...

The synthesis of oligonucleotides containing an aliphatic amino group at the 5' terminus: synthesis of fluorescent DNA primers for use in DNA sequence analysis.

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1985
A rapid and versatile method has been developed for the synthesis of oligonucleotides which contain an aliphatic amino group at their 5' terminus. This amino group reacts specifically with a variety of electrophiles, thereby allowing other chemical ...
