Homogeneous Scoring of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms: Comparison of the 5′-Nuclease TaqMan® Assay and Molecular Beacon Probes

TLDR
Two homogeneous assays based on real-time fluorescence monitoring during PCR are relevant alternatives for large-scale genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using three SNPs in the human estrogen receptor gene as targets.
Abstract
Homogeneous assays based on real-time fluorescence monitoring during PCR are relevant alternatives for large-scale genotyping of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We compared the performance ...

Accessing genetic variation: genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms

TL;DR: The hope that single nucleotide polymorphisms will allow genes that underlie complex disease to be identified, together with progress in identifying large sets ofSNPs, are the driving forces behind intense efforts to establish the technology for large-scale analysis of SNPs.

Real-Time PCR

TL;DR: The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) uses fluorescent reporter molecules to monitor the production of amplification products during each cycle of the PCR reaction, which combines the DNA amplification and detection steps into one homogeneous assay and obviates the need for gel electrophoresis to detect amplification products.

Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), an ultimate marker-assisted selection (MAS) tool to accelerate plant breeding.

TL;DR: Genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) has been developed and applied in sequencing multiplexed samples that combine molecular marker discovery and genotyping and has been successfully used in implementing genome-wide association study (GWAS), genomic diversity study, genetic linkage analysis, molecular markers discovery and genomic selection under a large scale of plant breeding programs.

A new class of homogeneous nucleic acid probes based on specific displacement hybridization

TL;DR: A new class of probes for homogeneous nucleic acid detection based on the proposed displacement hybridization that demonstrates that multiple targets can be distinguished in the same solution, even if they differ from one another by as little as a single nucleotide.

Diagnosis of Hepatitis A Virus Infection: a Molecular Approach

TL;DR: Current serologic tests provide the foundation for diagnosis of hepatitis A and hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection and new diagnostic methods have provided tools for the rapid detection of food-borne HAV transmission and identification of the potential source of the food contamination.

Molecular Beacons: Probes that Fluoresce upon Hybridization

TL;DR: Novel nucleic acid probes that recognize and report the presence of specific nucleic acids in homogeneous solutions that undergo a spontaneous conforma-tional change when they hybridize to their targets are developed.

Detection of specific polymerase chain reaction product by utilizing the 5'----3' exonuclease activity of Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: The 5'----3' exonuclease activity of the thermostable enzyme Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase may be employed in a polymerase chain reaction product detection system to generate a specific detectable signal concomitantly with amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oligonucleotides with fluorescent dyes at opposite ends provide a quenched probe system useful for detecting PCR product and nucleic acid hybridization.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the larger signal in the 5' nuclease PCR assay is caused by increased likelihood of cleavage by Taq DNA polymerase when the probe is hybridized to a template strand during PCR.

Multicolor molecular beacons for allele discrimination

TL;DR: Using several molecular beacons, each designed to recognize a different target and each labeled with a different fluorophore, it is demonstrated that multiple targets can be distinguished in the same solution, even if they differ from one another by as little as a single nucleotide.
