Pyrosequencing(®) is a technique that allows the quick sequencing of short stretches of DNA, and results can be inspected in real time as they are generated. As such, it is a highly useful tool for the typing of organisms, based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, if a single polymorphism is not sufficient for typing and several distant genomic regions need to be examined, multiple Pyrosequencing reactions have to be performed for each organism. This strongly increases both workload and reagent costs. Alternatively, multiplex Pyrosequencing can be performed, in which the multiple sequencing reactions for all analyzed genomic regions are performed in a single reaction. However, when using this method, special care has to be taken while designing the assay and analyzing the results.Here we present a detailed protocol using our newly developed software mPSQed for assay design and MultiPSQ for data analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
