  • Exon Sequencing of Human Chromosome X: I´m in serious trouble

    Hello

    My lab had discovered a locus in chromosome X that is involved with a kind of cortical malformation in a family with a pattern of X dominant inhiritance. We discovered this locus by linkage analysis. So we have performed exome enrichment of Ch X exome and second generation sequencing in a Illumina plataform. A paired end library was built (75 bp aproximatelly). Well ...there are a lot of duplicated genes and regions.... so bioinformatic analysis is not capable to say if region X is really X or Y ... because the homology is between 90 and 100% .... Thus my SNP calling is not reliable....
    My supervisor told me to perform Sanger sequencing...but is almost impossible to pick primers in this region
    There is other solution for my problem ?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    In case theduplicated regions are not too long, you could perform a long-range PCR (up to 25kb or so) and put the primers in regions with no duplication. This may serve as template for PCRs used for Sanger sequencing or may be directly sequenced (depending on the yield after LR-PCR).

    Any other ideas? (Well you could do FlowSorting of Chromosomes, but that's not too easy)

      Thanks Peter...
      Unfortunately the region is long.... But your suggestion is very interesting...
      I´m going to check if there is unique sequences between the repetitive regions... i can isolate its regions by long range PCR and use amplicons as a template for Sanger Sequencing...yes it´s possible !
      Thank you very much
      Best Regards
      Fábio

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
