==Results & Conclusion== | |||
*Pos Ctrl (V6 probes capture gDNA with Ampligase) has low amount of ligated padlock probes | |||
**High Ct in PCR curve | |||
**I guess 300ng gDNA has fewer targets than 30ng RNA | |||
**But same low level as Neg Ctrl (Ampligase used on DNA/RNA hybrid) | |||
*NTC (V6 captures '''nothing''' with SplintR) has same amount of ligated padlock probes as Experimental samples (V6 captures RNA with SplintR) | |||
**suggests SplintR doesn't need RNA splint to ligate DNA | |||
*CONCLUSION: Need to check literature and/or call NEB but it seems SplintR has high ssDNA ligase activity, making it unusable for high specificity padlock probe applications | |||
**Checked and there is no reported ssDNA ligase activity, therefore it must be probes annealing to other probes | |||
**"Template-independent ligation" | |||
===After meeting with Dr. Zhang=== | |||
*Reason PosCtrl does not show higher ligation is because forgot 95C is needed to denature gDNA! | |||
*He pointed out there is separation between NTC/30ng and 150ng/820ng PCR curves | |||
**Therefore there is some probe/splint ligation going on and conditions (eg temperature/time/concentration) need to be tuned to increase this separation | |||
===Next Experiment=== | |||
*Find shortest amount of time necessary for SplintR Ligase at 37C | |||
**Minimize this time so less non-specific annealing of probes | |||
*Keep constant probe:target ratio for all | |||
*Try 3 NTCs with padlock probe concentrations matching 3 samples | |||
*Annealing temp: 95C 30sec -> Cool to 55C | |||
*Try different annealing times? |

SplintR Ligase Test[edit]
Reference[edit]
- V4 and V7 Capture Experiment
- V4 Capture Analysis
- Purify UHRR of DNA
- V6 & V8 Probe Production
- Linking biotin to streptavidin
- NEED to add extra wash steps to remove RNases!
Experimental Outline[edit]
- Remove DNA from RNA (UHRR 740000-41)
- Shouldn't be completely necessary
- Biotinylate RNA
- Attach RNA to magnetic streptavidin beads
- V6 Padlock Probe capture to RNA
- Quantify captured products by qPCR
- Also adds Illumina sequencing adapters
Sample Groups[edit]
- Use Universal Human Reference RNA (UHRR 740000-41)
- 3 RNA template concentrations for each (30ng, 150ng and 820ng)
- For DNA template positive control only do 1 sample using 300ng gDNA
- Sample 1: gDNA template captured by V6 padlock probes with Ampligase at 55C
- Standard padlock probe capture except keep at 55C whole time
- Sample 2: RNA template captured by V6 padlock probes with SplintR at 25C
- Should be ligated but non-specific because low temp
- Sample 3: biotinylated and streptavidin bead linked RNA captured by V6 padlock probes with SplintR at 25C
- No washing or pull down
- Should be same as Sample 2 unless RNA is lost during biotin or streptavidin bead steps
- Sample 4: RNA template captured by V6 with Ampligase at 55C
- Negative control to see difference between SplintR and Ampligase
- Sample 5: No template with V6 and SplintR at 25C
- NTC checks for ssDNA ligase activity
- Sample 6: biotinylated and strept bead linked RNA captured by V4 padlock probes at 55C followed by wash and then SplintR & gDNA at 25C
- V4 padlock probes should be targeting wrong strand and completely washed away before
- Sample 7: biotinylated and strept bead linked RNA captured by V6 at 55C followed by wash and then SplintR at 25C
- Summary:
- 3 samples with biotinylated RNA
- 2 samples where RNA is pulled down by magnetic beads and washed to remove non-specific binding

Biotinylate RNA[edit]
- Use Pierce RNA 3' End Biotinylation Kit (>75% ligation efficiency)
- 3ul of 1ug/ul UHRR
- Thaw all kit components except 30% PEG and DMSO on ice

Results & Conclusion[edit]
- Pos Ctrl (V6 probes capture gDNA with Ampligase) has low amount of ligated padlock probes
- High Ct in PCR curve
- I guess 300ng gDNA has fewer targets than 30ng RNA
- But same low level as Neg Ctrl (Ampligase used on DNA/RNA hybrid)
- NTC (V6 captures nothing with SplintR) has same amount of ligated padlock probes as Experimental samples (V6 captures RNA with SplintR)
- suggests SplintR doesn't need RNA splint to ligate DNA
- CONCLUSION: Need to check literature and/or call NEB but it seems SplintR has high ssDNA ligase activity, making it unusable for high specificity padlock probe applications
- Checked and there is no reported ssDNA ligase activity, therefore it must be probes annealing to other probes
- "Template-independent ligation"
After meeting with Dr. Zhang[edit]
- Reason PosCtrl does not show higher ligation is because forgot 95C is needed to denature gDNA!
- He pointed out there is separation between NTC/30ng and 150ng/820ng PCR curves
- Therefore there is some probe/splint ligation going on and conditions (eg temperature/time/concentration) need to be tuned to increase this separation
Next Experiment[edit]
- Find shortest amount of time necessary for SplintR Ligase at 37C
- Minimize this time so less non-specific annealing of probes
- Keep constant probe:target ratio for all
- Try 3 NTCs with padlock probe concentrations matching 3 samples
- Annealing temp: 95C 30sec -> Cool to 55C
- Try different annealing times?
