The use of multiple displacement amplification to amplify complex DNA libraries.

ABSTRACT: Complex libraries for genomic DNA and cDNA sequencing analyses are typically amplified using bacterial propagation. To reduce biases, large numbers of colonies are plated and scraped from solid-surface agar. This process is time consuming, tedious and limits scaling up. At the same time, multiple displacement amplification (MDA) has been recently developed as a method for in vitro amplification of DNA. However, MDA has no selection function for the removal of ligation multimers. We developed a novel method of briefly introducing ligation reactions into bacteria to select single insert DNA clones followed by MDA to amplify. We applied these methods to a Gene Identification Signatures with Paired-End diTags (GIS-PET) library, which is a complex transcriptome library created by pairing short tags from the 5' and 3' ends of cDNA fragments together, and demonstrated that this selection and amplification strategy is unbiased and efficient.

Project description:Generating sufficient DNA for high-throughput genetic analysis has always been a challenge for clinical settings where the amount of source DNA is limited. Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) has been proposed as a promising candidate for such situations. Previous work with lower-resolution arrays confirmed the utility of single-cell MDA products for large-size (~30 Mb) genome variation screening. We tested the performance of single-cell MDA products on the SNP 6.0 arrays to examine the performance of single-cell MDA in SNP genotyping, copy number polymorphism, de novo copy number variation (CNV) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. Our data show that for SNP genotyping, single-cell MDA did not obtain complete genome coverage or high sequence fidelity. For CNV calling, single-cell MDA introduced stochastic amplification artifacts in log2 ratio profiles, reducing the robustness of CNV calling; however, by adjusting smooth window size, it is still possible to analyze large chromosomal aberrations, and homozygous deletions as small as 500 kb can still be identified from the noisy log2 ratio profiles. Our results also suggest that even with a modified protocol (reduction of reaction volume, addition of a molecular crowding reagent, minimization of reaction time), single-cell MDA presented little improvement over the unmodified protocol, but by increasing the number of cells as template to 5M-bM-^@M-^S10 cells, SNP 6.0 array results comparable to those of 10 ng genomic DNA MDA could be obtained. Algorithms like PICNIC improved the CNV calling, suggesting that better algorithms can better utilize single-cell MDA array results. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cell line samples, and multiple displacement samples. Genotyping, Copy number and LOH analysis of Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays was performed for 3 samples of unamplified cell line genomic DNA, 2 samples of DNA obtained by multiple displacement amplification from 10ng genomic DNA, 3 single-cell multiple displacement amplification (MDA) products, single cell modified MDA amplification product, 5-cell modified MDA amplification product, 10-cell modified MDA amplification product.
