Abstract:
Degenerate oligonucleotide primed PCR is an useful technique to amplify whole genome and its the applications for fluorescent in situ hybridization and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) were reported. For the CGH, topoisomerase and sequenase were recommended to use for the better hybridization. But adding the enzymes to PCR reaction per every cycle is labor-intensive and can easily contaminate PCR reaction. This study was carried out to prove the possibility of application of DOP-PCR to CGH without use of sequenase. Several combinations of CGH e.g., DOP-PCR amplified normal DNA vs. DOP-PCR amplified normal DNA, DOP-PCR amplified normal DNA vs. non-DOP normal DNA, DOP-PCR amplified normal DNA vs. DOP-PCR amplified MCF-600 cell line DNA, and non-DOP normal DNA vs. non-DOP MCF-600 DNA were performed. In addition, randomly selected microsatellite loci were tested to know whether DOP-PCR covers whole genome amplification. Apparently the DOP-PCR provides enough amount and size of DNA for CGH application and covers whole genome amplification. These results suggest that DOP-PCR can be used for CGH and genotyping.
