Human Adenovirus Genome Sequencing

This is Final report for your sample.

We finished to analyze your sample and we get the results. We confirmed two mutations and each end-point sequence is same with reference. Regarding first mutation, we can’t confirm using the results of experiment but it is expected T(5) though BLASTX analysis. This report includes experiment method. Please review it and if you have any questions feel free to contact us at anytime.

SolGent provides Genescan running service for genotyping. Utilizing this method, we apply to your sample with Snapshot typing. The process is as following below,

1.  Design primer: Synthesize the primer included T(5) sequence and then add 1bp sequence.

2.  Run: Used nucleotide have four-flourscent and then run Genescan using ABI3100.

3.  Analysis: In case of T(6), the peak will be red and T(5) will be blue.

4.  Price: The fee is $100.00. But if DNA template is mixted with T(5) and T(6), it is difficult to get good results, too.

[3] The process of experiment

We performed the PCR & Sanger method sequencing for your sample. We referred a few reference (attached file; reference 5-7). And in order to good results, we used various method which SolGent provides.

PCR and initial DNA sequencing strategy

PCR primers were generated from a consensus sequence derived from Human adenovirus 36 from USA, complete genome (Accession Number: GQ384080, GI: 261875889, Ad36-1988). A standard PCR with 40 primer pairs was conducted to amplify the overlapping fragments encompassing the entire genome of Ad36 2012, except its 5' and 3' termini. PCR products, about 1.2 kb, were used initially. Cross primer matching were used for covering gaps and for complementing sequences.

PCR reaction condition is following; Solg™ 2X Multiplex PCR Pre-Mix, denatured initially at 95 ℃ for 15 min, and then amplified at 95 ℃ for 20 sec, 55 ℃ for 40 sec and 72 ℃ for 1 min for 35 cycles, followed by a final extension at 72 ℃ for 3 min and stored at 4 ℃.

Potential primers for PCR amplifications and sequencing were synthesized by Bioneer (http://www.bioneer.com/).

End sequencing

A method similar to that which uses a 5'/ 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends kit was followed.

1) 3' end sequencing

First, single strand DNA synthesized with phosphorylated PCR primer (5'-PAGCACAGCAGTACAAGCGC-3') and self-ligated using T4 DNA ligase (Promega). Subsequently, inverse PCR were performed using ligated single strand DNA as template with internal primers (5'-GTTCCCACGTTACGTCACTT-3', 5'-CGAGGAAGTGACAACGCGGAA-3').

2) 5' end sequencing

First, PvuII restriction enzyme (Jena Bioscience, Germany) digest DNA template. Then in the presence of T4 DNA ligase (Promega), the blunt-ended DNA templates were ligated. Subsequently, inverse PCR were performed with internal primers (5'-CACTTGCATCCGCCCAGAAT-3' and 5'-CGAAAACTGAATGAGGAAGTG-3') for amplification of the 5'-terminal DNA sequences to obtain the sequencing templates.

DNA sequencing and analyses

The amplified fragments were purified by 1 % agarose gel electrophoresis by using a SolGent™ PCR Purification Kit (Solgent, Daejeon, Korea). The sequencing reactions were performed bidirectionally with the appropriate primers and cycle sequencing kits (ABI Prism BigDye Terminator, version 3.1) and were then resolved with a model 3730XL DNA Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).

We used special analysis method with difficult sequence caused by repeated poly(N).

The purified products were cloned into T-Blunt vector (T-Blunt™ PCR Cloning Kit, Solgent) and reacted rolling circle amplification (RCA, SEQ-TempliGen™ RCA Kit, Solgent). Phred-Phrap-Consed program [1]-[3] were used for sequence assembly and editing assembled sequences.
