Project description:Primary outcome(s): Concordance rate of both KRAS and NRAS gene exon 2, 3 and 4 mutations between standard genetic testings including sanger sequencing and an established in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kit for KRAS exon2, and a newly developed Luminex-based all RAS assay kit
Project description:We present MultiEditR, the first algorithm specifically designed to detect and quantify RNA editing from Sanger sequencing (z.umn.edu/multieditr). Although RNA editing is routinely evaluated by measuring the heights of peaks from in Sanger sequencing traces, the accuracy and the precision of this approach has yet to be evaluated against gold-standards next-generation sequencing methods. Through a comprehensive comparison to RNA-seq and amplicon based deep sequencing, we show that MultiEditR is accurate, precise, and reliable for detecting endogenous and programmable RNA editing.

Project description:In this study, we recruited a patient with Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) detected to have a novel heterozygous variant in the SPTB in the proband. Sanger sequencing of variant alleles and haplotype linkage analysis were performed simultaneously. Five embryos were identified with one heterozygous and four not carrying the SPTB variant. Single-cell amplification and whole genome sequencing showed that three embryos had varying degrees of trisomy mosaicism.
Project description:mRNA from 59 primary colorectal tumour samples were extracted and hybridized to HG-U133Plus 2.0 expression arrays. Mutation status for several genes were determined using Sanger sequencing.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small RNAs of approximately 22 nucleotides in length that control eukaryotic gene expression by fine tuning mRNA translation. They regulate a wide variety of biological processes, namely developmental timing, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, immune response and infection. For this reason, their identification is essential to understand eukaryotic biology. Their small size, low abundance and high instability complicated early identification; however, cloning/Sanger sequencing and new generation genome sequencing approaches overcame most technical hurdles and are being used for rapid miRNA identification in many eukaryotes. We have applied 454 DNA pyrosequencing technology to miRNA discovery in zebrafish (Danio rerio). For this, a series of cDNA libraries were prepared from small non-coding RNAs isolated at different embryonic time points and from fully developed organs. Each cDNA library was tagged with specific sequences and was sequenced using the Roche FLX genome sequencer. This approach retrieved 90% of the 192 miRNAs previously identified by cloning/Sanger sequencing and bioinformatics and 25 novel miRNAs were predicted.
