  • High-throughput genotyping by whole-genome resequencing

    The next-generation sequencing technology coupled with the growing number of genome sequences opens the oppor-
    tunity to redesign genotyping strategies for more effective genetic mapping and genome analysis. We have developed
    a high-throughput method for genotyping recombinant populations utilizing whole-genome resequencing data generated
    by the Illumina Genome Analyzer. A sliding window approach is designed to collectively examine genome-wide single
    nucleotide polymorphisms for genotype calling and recombination breakpoint determination. Using this method, we
    constructed a genetic map for 150 rice recombinant inbred lines with an expected genotype calling accuracy of 99.94%
    and a resolution of recombination breakpoints within an average of 40 kb. In comparison to the genetic map constructed
    with 287 PCR-based markers for the rice population, the sequencing-based method was ;203 faster in data collection
    and 353 more precise in recombination breakpoint determination. Using the sequencing-based genetic map, we located
    a quantitative trait locus of large effect on plant height in a 100-kb region containing the rice ‘‘green revolution’’ gene.
    Through computer simulation, we demonstrate that the method is robust for different types of mapping populations
    derived from organisms with variable quality of genome sequences and is feasible for organisms with large genome sizes
    and low polymorphisms. With continuous advances in sequencing technologies, this genome-based method may replace
    the conventional marker-based genotyping approach to provide a powerful tool for large-scale gene discovery and for
    addressing a wide range of biological questions.

    A PI asked us about doing it a couple of weeks ago. It looks like a very interesting technique.

    [BTW there are a couple of errors in the abstract above; it should read 20x faster... and 35x more precise, not 203 and 353 as it does.]

      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...
