Whole-genome amplification enables accurate genotyping for microarray-based high-density single nucleotide polymorphism array.

ABSTRACT: In large-scale genome-wide association studies based on high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping array, the quantity and quality of available genomic DNA (gDNA) is a practical problem. We examined the feasibility of using the Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) method of whole-genome amplification (WGA) for such a platform. The Affymetrix Early Access Mendel Nsp 250K GeneChip was used for genotyping 224,940 SNPs per sample for 28 DNA samples. We compared the call concordance using 14 gDNA samples and their corresponding 14 WGA samples. The overall mean genotype call rates in gDNA and the corresponding WGA samples were comparable at 97.07% [95% confidence interval (CI), 96.17-97.97] versus 97.77% (95% CI, 97.26-98.28; P = 0.154), respectively. Reproducibility of the platform, calculated as concordance in duplicate samples, was 99.45%. Overall genotypes for 97.74% (95% CI, 97.03-98.44) of SNPs were concordant between gDNA and WGA samples. When the analysis was restricted to well-performing SNPs (successful genotyping in gDNA and WGA in >90% of samples), 99.11% (95% CI, 98.80-99.42) of the SNPs, on average, were concordant, and overall a SNP showed a discordant call in 0.92% (95% CI, 0.90-0.94) of paired samples. In a pair of gDNA and WGA DNA, similar concordance was reproducible on Illumina's Infinium 610 Quad platform as well. Although copy number analysis revealed a total of seven small telomeric regions in six chromosomes with loss of copy number, the estimated genome representation was 99.29%. In conclusion, our study confirms that high-density oligonucleotide array-based genotyping can yield reproducible data and MDA-WGA DNA products can be effectively used for genome-wide SNP genotyping analysis.

Project description:High-density SNP arrays for genome-wide assessment of allelic variation have made high resolution genetic characterization of crop germplasm feasible. A medium density array for apple, the IRSC 8K SNP array, has been successfully developed and used for screens of bi-parental populations. However, the number of robust and well-distributed markers contained on this array was not sufficient to perform genome-wide association analyses in wider germplasm sets, or Pedigree-Based Analysis at high precision, because of rapid decay of linkage disequilibrium. We describe the development of an Illumina Infinium array targeting 20K SNPs. The SNPs were predicted from re-sequencing data derived from the genomes of 13 Malus × domestica apple cultivars and one accession belonging to a crab apple species (M. micromalus). A pipeline for SNP selection was devised that avoided the pitfalls associated with the inclusion of paralogous sequence variants, supported the construction of robust multi-allelic SNP haploblocks and selected up to 11 entries within narrow genomic regions of ±5 kb, termed focal points (FPs). Broad genome coverage was attained by placing FPs at 1 cM intervals on a consensus genetic map, complementing them with FPs to enrich the ends of each of the chromosomes, and by bridging physical intervals greater than 400 Kbps. The selection also included ∼3.7K validated SNPs from the IRSC 8K array. The array has already been used in other studies where ∼15.8K SNP markers were mapped with an average of ∼6.8K SNPs per full-sib family. The newly developed array with its high density of polymorphic validated SNPs is expected to be of great utility for Pedigree-Based Analysis and Genomic Selection. It will also be a valuable tool to help dissect the genetic mechanisms controlling important fruit quality traits, and to aid the identification of marker-trait associations suitable for the application of Marker Assisted Selection in apple breeding programs.
