Alternatives For and With Alternatives For and With Microarrays Microarrays

1. Affymetrix/Nimblegen.

2. The ArrayPlate Technology.

3. SAGE/454 Solexa Sequencing.

4. Microarrays in genotyping.

Affymetrix arrays

• Probe “spots” are 10μm• Photolithographic synth. of

25mer oligo probes• 11-20 “match” probes and 11-

20 “mismatch” probes per gene

• Only one target per array• Arrays are not reused

Production of Affymetrix arrayshttp://www.affym

etrix.com/technology/m

anufacturing/index.affx

Note: Single channel measurements only.

Each chip costs about $400.

Hybridization costs are also extra ($100-150 per chip).

What is being measured?This depends on the chip design.

Chip Designs1. PM/MM method.

2. PM only.

Some advantages of Affymetrix arrays

• High precision because of:– careful probe design– up to 20 probes per gene– up to 20 mismatch probes

• Very precise measurements• Very high density (500,000 elements /

array)

Some disadvantages of Affymetrix arrays

• Inflexible: each set of new arrays requires a new production process.

• More expensive than spotted arrays.• Proprietary technology

– only one manufacturer of readers, etc.• Dependencies of results on method of

analysis.

NimbleGen arrays

• 786,000 individually addressable mirrors on a microchip

• Mirrors direct light to specific parts of microarray for oligonucleotide synthesis.

mNPA/ArrayPlate SummarymNPA/ArrayPlate Summary

• Very Many Treatments x Many Genes.• Requires as little as 12ng total RNA (microarray

requires ~ 50μg without amplification).• Assay can be used directly on single seedlings

grown in 96 well plates.• Excellent precision facilitates data collection. • Data reports mRNA abundances that are gene

independent.

Advantages of mNPA

• Extremely sensitive.• Very large dynamic range.• Very precise measurements.• Multiple genes AND multiple treatments

can be assayed in parallel.• Easily automated, scaled-up.• Appropriate for high throughput

screening.

Some disadvantages of mNPA

• Only 16 (now up to 64?) genes can be assayed at a time

• Expensive to set up– three 25-mers must be synthesized for

each gene• Proprietary technology.

SAGE cont’d

Some advantages of SAGE

• Very direct method of measuring transcript abundance

• Open-ended technology• Large dynamic range• Built-in quality control:

– e.g. spacing of tags & 4-cutter restriction sites

Some disadvantages of SAGE

• Must sequence >50,000 tags per sample– therefore >$5,000 per sample

• Most useful with fully sequenced genomes– otherwise difficult to associate 15bp tags

with their genes• 3’ ends of some genes can be very

polymorphic

Alternatives to SAGE

• SAGE reduces sequencing costs by concatenating small tags to efficiently accommodate the long read capability of automated Sanger sequencing.

• Alternative is to reduce the cost of short DNA sequencing to a level that allows comprehensive tag identification without loss of specificity.

• Requires “Next Generation” DNA sequencers.

Next Generation DNA SequencingNext Generation DNA Sequencing

• The aim is to reduce the cost as much as possible.

• Two companies are close to commercialization:

454 Life Sciences (now part of Roche; www.roche-applied-science.com).

Solexa (www.solexa.com; now becoming part of Illumina).

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

• Generates ~20 Mbases of sequence per run.

• 200,000 reads per run.

• Each run takes 5.5 hours.

• Each run (including the prep steps) costs about $6,000.

• Preparative steps (which take longer than 5.5 hours) can be done in parallel to give an efficient pipeline.

• Run lengths are around 100 bases, but they are pushing this to longer reads.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

sstDNA library production

• Sample preparation is dependent on the type of starting material used.

• It involves a series of enzymatic steps to produce single-stranded template DNA (sstDNA) incorporating primer and bead-binding adaptors.

• For example, genomic DNA (gDNA) is fractionated into smaller fragments (300-800 base pairs) that are subsequently polished to make blunt ends.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

sstDNA library production

• Short Adaptors (A and B) are then ligated onto the ends of the fragments. These adaptors provide priming sequences for both amplification (emPCR) and sequencing of the sample-library fragments, and contain a streptavidin binding site for sample purification.

• Low molecular weight DNA can be used without fragmentation, and sample preparation begins with adaptor ligation. The A and B adaptors can also be added during PCR by using the appropriate primers

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

sstDNA library production

• The sstDNA library produced at the end of this preparation step is assessed for its quality.

• The optimal amount (DNA copies per bead) needed for emPCR is determined by a titration run.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

emPCR Amplification

• The sstDNA library is immobilized onto specially designed DNA Capture Beads. Each bead carries a single sstDNA library fragment.

• The bead-bound library is emulsified with amplification reagents in a water-in-oil mixture. Each bead is separately captured within its own microreactor for PCR amplification.

• Amplification is performed in bulk, resulting in bead-immobilized, clonally amplified DNA fragments that are specific to each bead.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

Sequencing-by-Synthesis

• Sequencing starts with the preparation of a PicoTiter Plate. During this step, a combination of beads, sequencing enzymes, and an sstDNA library is deposited into the wells of the plate.

• The bead-deposition process maximizes the number of wells that contain an individual sstDNAlibrary bead.

• The loaded PicoTiterPlate is placed into the Genome Sequencer 20 Instrument.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

Sequencing-by-Synthesis

• The fluidics subsystem flows sequencing reagents (containing buffers and nucleotides) across the wells of the plate.

• Each sequencing cycle consists of flowing individual nucleotides in a fixed order (TACG) across the PicoTiterPlate. During the nucleotide flow, each of the hundreds of thousands of beads with millions of copies of DNA is sequenced in parallel.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

Sequencing-by-Synthesis

• If a nucleotide complementary to the template strand is flowed into a well, the polymerase extends the existing DNA strand by adding nucleotide(s).

• Addition of one (or more) nucleotide(s) results in a reaction that generates a chemiluminescent signal that is recorded by the CCD camera in the Genome Sequencer 20 Instrument.

• This signal strength is proportional to the number of nucleotides incorporated during a single nucleotide flow.

454 Genome Sequencer 20 System

• Solexa's platform is based on massively parallel sequencing of millions of fragments using a proprietary Clonal Single Molecule Array™technology and novel reversible terminator-based sequencing chemistry.

• The approach relies on attachment of randomly fragmented genomic DNA to a planar, optically transparent surface.

• Solid phase amplification is then used to create an ultra-high density sequencing flow cell with >10 million clusters, each containing ~1,000 copies of template per sq. cm.

Solexa Technology

• These templates are sequenced using a four-color DNA sequencing-by-synthesis technology, which employs reversible terminators with removable fluorescence.

• This approach achieves high accuracy and avoids artifacts due to homopolymeric repeats.

• High sensitivity fluorescence detection is achieved using laser excitation and total internal reflection optics.

Solexa Technology

• Short sequence reads are obtained. These are aligned against a reference genome and genetic differences are called using a specially developed data pipeline.

• Alternative sample preparation methods allow the same system to be used for a range of other genetic analysis applications, including gene expression and small RNA discovery.

Large-scale genotyping in rice using spotted oligonucleotide

microarrays

David Galbraith, Jeremy D. Edwards, Jaroslav Janda, Ambika Gaikwad, Bin

Liu, Hei Leung

Objectives

• Development of a microarray-based genotyping platform for rice.

Low cost per data point.Low cost per individual.Targeted to known polymorphic features.

Microarray-based genotyping

• Single Feature Polymorphisms (SFPs)

Differential hybridization to single probes. SFPs are a consequence either of insertions/deletion (InDel) polymorphisms or represent multiple SNPs across the complementary sequences.

Microarray-based genotyping

• SFPs identified through hybridization of genomic DNA to whole-genome tiling arrays (i.e., Affymetrix Genechips).

Yeast: Wodicka, L., H. Dong, M. Mittmann, M.H. Ho, and D.J. Lockhart. 1997. Nat Biotechnol 15: 1359-1367.Arabidopsis: Borevitz, J.O., D. Liang, D. Plouffe, H.S. Chang, T. Zhu, D. Weigel, C.C. Berry, E. Winzeler, and J. Chory. 2003. Genome Res 13: 513-523.

Targeted approach to microarray-based genotyping

• Computational identification of SFPs through whole-genome sequence alignments.

• Assay of SFPs using relatively low-cost spotted long oligonucleotide microarrays.

Quantitative genotyping:Bulked segregant analysis

• RIL mapping population segregating for a single-isolate major gene for blast resistance.

• DNA samples pooled according to phenotype (73 individuals per pool).

• Pooled samples labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 and hybridized (dye-swap design using four slides).

• Probes linked to the gene should have significant differences in color ratios.– The direction of the ratio differences indicates which

parental allele is causing the effect.

Bioinformatics Tools

• SFP discovery – Perl scripts– Find InDels in MUMmer/NUCmer whole-genome

alignments.– Probe design

• Analysis– R statistical programming language– Scripts for importing data, normalization and fitting

linear models using Bioconductor/Limma packages.– Tools for data visualization and graphical genotyping

under development.

Distribution of microarray technology

• Microarray production is done using either a GeneMachines OG300 (300 slides per print run, or a Genetix Arraymax (450 slides per run).

Distribution of microarray technology

• Two models for technology distribution are then possible:

– DNA and RNA (if expression analysis involved) shipped to Arizona. Hybridization results distributed.

Problem with Homeland security(?)

– Microarrays distributed. Genotyping and expression analyses done at distal sites.

Is technology portable?

Agreement between SFP and SSR genotyping with all work done at IRRI argues technology can be transferred to end users. Microarrays took 3 days; SSR’stook one month.

Lesion mimic mutation crossed with Azucena – F2 generated and scored lesion mimic and wt. Pool 10 plants of each type for genotyping by bulk segregant analysis. SFP and SSR genotyping done separately.

Conclusions

• 880 SFPs suitable for probe design were identified in Nipponbare/9311 sequence alignments.

• The SFPs were experimentally verified with 87% success.

• The evolutionary relationships between rice sub-populations can be resolved .

• There are sufficient numbers of polymorphic markers for QTL mapping across (and in some cases within) sub-populations of rice.

• Bulk segregant analysis was used to map a single-isolate major gene for Blast resistance.

• Technology is portable.
