TL;DR: A new method, called multiple displacement amplification, dramatically improves the high-fidelity reproduction of genomic DNA, with 10–100 kb amplified DNA products providing uniform coverage of genes.

TL;DR: Fragments homologous to chitin synthase were amplified from the genomic DNA of 14 fungal species and deduced amino acid sequences fell into three distinct classes, which could represent separate functional groups.
Abstract: Comparison of the chitin synthase genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHS1 and CHS2 with the Candida albicans CHS1 gene (UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:chitin 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.16) revealed two small regions of complete amino acid sequence conservation that were used to design PCR primers. Fragments homologous to chitin synthase (approximately 600 base pairs) were amplified from the genomic DNA of 14 fungal species. These fragments were sequenced, and their deduced amino acid sequences were aligned. With the exception of S. cerevisiae CHS1, the sequences fell into three distinct classes, which could represent separate functional groups. Within each class phylogenetic analysis was performed. Although not the major purpose of the investigation, this analysis tends to confirm some relationships consistent with current taxonomic groupings.

TL;DR: Next-generation RNA sequence analysis of platelets from an individual with autosomal recessive gray platelet syndrome detected abnormal transcript reads, including intron retention, mapping to NBEAL2 (encoding neurobeachin-like 2), which was confirmed as the genetic cause of GPS.
Abstract: Next-generation RNA sequence analysis of platelets from an individual with autosomal recessive gray platelet syndrome (GPS, MIM139090) detected abnormal transcript reads, including intron retention, mapping to NBEAL2 (encoding neurobeachin-like 2). Genomic DNA sequencing confirmed mutations in NBEAL2 as the genetic cause of GPS. NBEAL2 encodes a protein containing a BEACH domain that is predicted to be involved in vesicular trafficking and may be critical for the development of platelet α-granules.

TL;DR: In the authors' hands, the SSH technique has enriched over 1000-fold for rare sequences in a single round of subtractive hybridization.
Abstract: Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) is a widely used method for separating DNA molecules that distinguish two closely related DNA samples. Two of the main SSH applications are cDNA subtraction and genomic DNA subtraction. To our knowledge, SSH is one of the most powerful and popular methods for generating subtracted cDNA or genomic DNA libraries. It is based primarily on a suppression polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique (described narrowly in Chapter 3) and combines normalization and subtraction in a single procedure. The normalization step equalizes the abundance of DNA fragments within the target population, and the subtraction step excludes sequences that are common to the populations being compared. This dramatically increases the probability of obtaining low-abundance differentially expressed cDNAs or genomic DNA fragments and simplifies analysis of the subtracted library. SSH technique is applicable to many comparative and functional genetic studies for the identification of disease, developmental, tissuespecific, or other differentially expressed genes, as well as for the recovery of genomic DNA fragments distinguishing the samples under comparison. This chapter provides an insight into SSH practical use and contains detailed protocol for generation of subtracted cDNAs (which is the most frequent SSH application) and differential screening of the resulting subtracted cDNA library. As shown in many examples, the SSH technique may result in over 1000-fold enrichment for rare sequences in a single round of subtractive hybridization. Finally, we discuss the characteristics of cDNA-subtracted libraries, the nature and level of background nondifferentially expressed clones in the libraries, as well as procedure for rapid identification of truly differentially expressed cDNA clones.
