绩效

焦磷酸测序技术可对遗传学和表观遗传学的DNA变化进行准确、灵敏的定量分析,提供高度可靠的序列数据。可鉴定新的突变,并检测低水平的DNA甲基化模式异常。

原理

焦磷酸测序技术基于合成测序原理,可在数分钟内提供序列的定量数据。PyroMark Q24 MDx实时定量焦磷酸序列分析仪是提供 real-time测序信息的完整体系,高度适用于遗传学和表观遗传学分析。该体系包括PyroMark Q24 MDx实时定量焦磷酸序列分析仪、 PyroMark Q24 MDx Vacuum Workstation、PyroMark Q24 MDx Software 2.0、PyroMark Gold Q24 Reagents、PyroMark Control Oligo和PyroMark Q24 Validation Oligo。同时提供样本制备方案,可使用PyroMark Q24 MDx Vacuum Workstation制备单链DNA。
焦磷酸测序步骤

步骤1:扩增DNA片段,作为焦磷酸测序模板的单链是生物素标记的。变性后,分离生物素标记的单链PCR扩增子,与测序引物杂交。杂交的引物和单链模板同各种酶,包括DNA聚合酶、ATP硫酸化酶、荧光素酶、三磷酸腺苷双磷酸酶以及底物、腺苷酰硫酸(APS)和荧光素一起孵育(参见"Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 1")。

步骤2:第一个脱氧核苷三磷酸(dNTP)加入反应中,在DNA聚合酶的作用下,dNTP结合到DNA链上与其互补的碱基位。每次结合都会释放与核苷酸相等摩尔量的焦磷酸脂(PPi)(参见"Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 2")。

步骤3:在存在APS的条件下,ATP硫酸化酶将PPi转化为ATP。在这个ATP的驱动下,荧光素酶将荧光素转化为氧化荧光素,并产生可见光,可见光的量与ATP的量成正比。通过电荷耦合(CCD)相机即可检测到荧光素酶催化反应产生的可见光,并在原始数据输出(Pyrogram)中显示为一个峰,每个峰的高度(光信号)与结合的核苷酸数量成正比(参见"Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 3")。

步骤4:三磷酸腺苷双磷酸酶,是一种核苷酸降解酶,会降解未结合的核苷酸与ATP。完全降解后,加入另一个核苷酸(参见"Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 4")。

步骤5:持续添加dNTP。α-硫代脱氧腺苷三磷酸(dATPαS)在反应中用于替代天然脱氧腺苷三磷酸(dATP),这是因为DNA聚合酶可高效的应用前者,而不被荧光素酶识别。当该过程连续进行时,就会形成互补的DNA链,可根据Pyrogram追踪的信号峰确定核苷酸的序列(参见"Principle of Pyrosequencing — step 5")。

FAQ ID -9047
What causes flat line on pyrogram?

Blocked reagent cartridge/tips, reagent issue, and incorrect pipetting are the common causes of the substrate peak being absent. Test cartridge/tips before adding reagent. Ensure reagent is pipetted to the correct positions and is collected at the bottom of the cartridge/tips.          

If the substrate peak is present, loss of template during the vacuum prep steps, no or incorrect sequencing primer, and camera failure are the common causes. Ensure no residual vacuum pressure before releasing the streptavidin beads and that the correct sequencing primer is used. Perform camera function test, see FAQ ID 9046.

If the issue persists, please send the run files (see FAQ ID 9048) to QIAGEN Technical Service for further assistance.

FAQ ID -9042
How do I perform the camera function test?

The camera function test is intended for the PyroMark Q96 ID, PyroMark Q96 MD/MDA, PSQ MA, and PSQ HS/HSA instruments.

1. Setup a mock run without using PyroMark reagent and other consumables.

2. When nucleotide dispensation starts, open both instrument lids so that the 96-well block is exposed to ambient light.

3. Check the detected signal level on the Y-axis on the operator’s computer and report the value to QIAGEN Technical Service.

Note: The inner lid of the instrument moves around during nucleotide dispensation. The lid can still be lifted while it is moving.

For PyroMark Q24 and PyroMark 24 Advanced instruments, please contact QIAGEN Technical Service for the self-test software and instruction.

FAQ ID - 3473

What causes low peak signals in Pyrosequencing?

Insufficient amount of PCR template, loss of streptavidin bead during vacuum prep steps, incorrect instrument method, and incorrect reagent are the common causes of low peak signals.

 

Check the PCR product with QIAxcel instrument or agarose gel electrophoresis and determine the appropriate amount of PCR product to be used. Perform vacuum prep function test. Determine the vacuum prep station functionality using the PyroMark Control Oligo with and without the vacuum prep steps. Ensure the correct instrument method is used. Refer to Managing PyroMark Instrument Methods. Ensure the correct reagent is used for the specific instrument model.

FAQ ID -9069
Why must I update the instrument method when lot numbers of the cartridge/tips change?

PyroMark instruments dispense the correct volume of enzyme mix, substrate mix, and nucleotides using variable pulse times and dispensing pressures. The settings for pulse times and dispensing pressure are specific for each lot of PyroMark dispensing tips and cartridges and need to be updated in the PyroMark software being used to operate the instrument.

 

Dispensing pressures and pulse time settings must be checked and, if necessary, updated every time a cartridge from a new lot number is used. Check the details at Managing PyroMark Instrument Methods.

FAQ ID -9055
What causes sequencing to stop prematurely?

Clogged cartridge/tips, and excessive PCR product are the most common causes. Test cartridge/tips before adding reagent. Avoid using filtered pipette tips because small particles from the filter can clog the cartridge/tips. Use appropriate PCR product for optimal single peak heights, also see FAQ ID 9058.

If the issue persists, please send the run files (see FAQ ID 9048) to QIAGEN Technical Service for further assistance.

FAQ ID -9043
What can I expect for the reading length on various PyroMark Instruments
How to perform the vacuum prep tool function test?

Fill a PCR plate with 80– 100 µl of high-purity water. Apply vacuum pressure to the vacuum prep tool. Lower the vacuum prep tool to the PCR plate and wait for 10 seconds. If the wells are not empty in 10 seconds, the vacuum system needs to be checked. Check the integrity of the waste bottle cap. Replace the inline filter if dirty or wet. Replace the vacuum probes after they are used 100 times.

FAQ ID -9044
What causes wide peaks?

Sodium hydroxide carry-over, too much template, and incorrectly stored reagent are the most common causes of wide peaks. Ensure correct volume of denaturation buffer is used on the vacuum prep station. Use 5–20 µl of PCR product depending on instrument models. Store reagent as described in the handbook.

 

If the issue persists, please send the run files (see Instruction for run file export) to QIAGEN Technical Service for further assistance.

FAQ ID -9062
