Fast saccharide mapping method for quality consistency evaluation of commercial xylooligosaccharides collected in China.

ABSTRACT: Due to the extensive use of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) as functional food ingredients, many inferior goods and even adulterants are generally found in the market, which may pose a health hazard to certain populations. Chromatography method such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is traditionally applied for the quality analysis of XOS. However, it is time consuming due to the prolonged separation and pre- or post- derivatization procedure. In this study, a fast saccharide mapping method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was developed for the quality consistency analysis of 22 batches of XOS collected from different manufacturers in China. The time needed for saccharides analysis using MALDI-MS was less than 30 min for one plate, at least 6 times faster than that by the traditional HPTLC chromatography method. In addition, MALDI-MS possessed higher resolution for XOS with DP4-DP7 based on the difference of m/z, which is hardly separated using HPTLC. The results showed that XOS were present only in samples XY01-XY11, samples XY12-XY14 only consisted of hex oligosaccharides, and samples XY15-XY22 were free of oligosaccharides. These indicate that the quality consistency of XOS products in the China market was poor, which should be carefully investigated.

Project description:BackgroundThe German cDNA Consortium has been cloning full length cDNAs and continued with their exploitation in protein localization experiments and cellular assays. However, the efficient use of large cDNA resources requires the development of strategies that are capable of a speedy selection of truly useful cDNAs from biological and experimental noise. To this end we have developed a new high-throughput analysis tool, CAFTAN, which simplifies these efforts and thus fills the gap between large-scale cDNA collections and their systematic annotation and application in functional genomics.ResultsCAFTAN is built around the mapping of cDNAs to the genome assembly, and the subsequent analysis of their genomic context. It uses sequence features like the presence and type of PolyA signals, inner and flanking repeats, the GC-content, splice site types, etc. All these features are evaluated in individual tests and classify cDNAs according to their sequence quality and likelihood to have been generated from fully processed mRNAs. Additionally, CAFTAN compares the coordinates of mapped cDNAs with the genomic coordinates of reference sets from public available resources (e.g., VEGA, ENSEMBL). This provides detailed information about overlapping exons and the structural classification of cDNAs with respect to the reference set of splice variants. The evaluation of CAFTAN showed that is able to correctly classify more than 85% of 5950 selected "known protein-coding" VEGA cDNAs as high quality multi- or single-exon. It identified as good 80.6 % of the single exon cDNAs and 85 % of the multiple exon cDNAs. The program is written in Perl and in a modular way, allowing the adoption of this strategy to other tasks like EST-annotation, or to extend it by adding new classification rules and new organism databases as they become available. We think that it is a very useful program for the annotation and research of unfinished genomes.ConclusionCAFTAN is a high-throughput sequence analysis tool, which performs a fast and reliable quality prediction of cDNAs. Several thousands of cDNAs can be analyzed in a short time, giving the curator/scientist a first quick overview about the quality and the already existing annotation of a set of cDNAs. It supports the rejection of low quality cDNAs and helps in the selection of likely novel splice variants, and/or completely novel transcripts for new experiments.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate Shift Undersampling improves Parametric mapping Efficiency and Resolution (SUPER), a novel blockwise curve-fitting method for accelerating parametric mapping with very fast reconstruction.MethodsSUPER uses interleaved k-space undersampling, which enables a blockwise decomposition of the otherwise large-scale cost function to improve the reconstruction efficiency. SUPER can be readily combined with SENSE to achieve at least 4-fold acceleration. D-factor, a parametric-mapping counterpart of g-factor, was proposed and formulated to compare spatially heterogeneous noise amplification because of different acceleration methods. As a proof-of-concept, SUPER/SUPER-SENSE was validated using T1 mapping, by comparing them to alternative model-based methods, including MARTINI and GRAPPATINI, via simulations, phantom imaging, and in vivo brain imaging (N = 5), over criteria of normalized root-mean-squares error (NRMSE), average d-factor, and computational time per voxel (TPV). A novel SUPER-SENSE MOLLI cardiac T1 -mapping sequence with improved resolution (1.4 mm × 1.4 mm) was compared to standard MOLLI (1.9 mm × 2.5 mm) in 8 healthy subjects.ResultsIn brain imaging, 2-fold SUPER achieved lower NRMSE (0.04 ± 0.02 vs. 0.11 ± 0.02, P < 0.01), lower average d-factor (1.01 ± 0.002 vs. 1.12 ± 0.004, P < 0.001), and lower TPV (4.6 ms ± 0.2 ms vs. 79 ms ± 3 ms, P < 0.001) than 2-fold MARTINI. Similarly, 4-fold SUPER-SENSE achieved lower NRMSE (0.07 ± 0.01 vs. 0.13 ± 0.03, P = 0.02), lower average d-factor (1.15 ± 0.01 vs. 1.20 ± 0.01, P < 0.001), and lower TPV (4.0 ms ± 0.1 ms vs. 72 ms ± 3 ms, P < 0.001) than 4-fold GRAPPATINI. In cardiac T1 mapping, SUPER-SENSE MOLLI yielded similar myocardial T1 (1151 ms ± 63 ms vs. 1159 ms ± 32 ms, P = 0.6), slightly lower blood T1 (1643 ms ± 86 ms vs. 1680 ms ± 79 ms, P = 0.004), but improved spatial resolution compared with standard MOLLI in the same imaging time.ConclusionSUPER and SUPER-SENSE provide fast model-based reconstruction methods for accelerating parametric mapping and improving its clinical appeal.
