Library Screening, Characterization, and Amplification
• Screening of libraries
• Amplification of DNA (PCR)
• Analysis of DNA (Sequencing)
• Chemical Synthesis of DNA
2
Screening of Libraries
1. Screening libraries with gene probes (DNA level):
-> Hybridisation: - Colony Hybridisation
- Plaque Hybridisation
2. Screening Expression libraries (Protein level):
-> Activity screening (-> HTS of Directed Evolution Libraries)
-> with Antibodies
3
Screening of Libraries
1. Hybridisation:
4
Gene Probes
- Homologous gene probes (DNA from the same gene, same organism)
-> if you have already an incomplete clone of the gene
-> if you want to clone neighboring regulatory elements (promoters)
-> if you have cDNA clone but want the genomic clone as well
-> genetic variations between individuals (mutation causing diseases)
- Heterologous gene probe (DNA from the same gene, different organism)
-> if you have already the gene from the same gene family but different organism (insulin from rat in order to screen human library)
- Probe generated by back translation -> degenerated oligonucleotide probe
5
A degenerate oligonucleotide probe.

Colony Hybridisation
7
Plaque Hybridisation
8
Screening of Expression Libraries with Antibodies
Primary Antibody: against protein of interest (specific)
Secondary Antibody: against proteins (antibodies) produced in rabbit, mouse, bird,… (unspecific but labeled)
9
Characterization of gene products
• Restriction analysis• Southern blot hybridisation• PCR• DNA sequencing
• Chromosome walking - Characterization of large fragments -> make ordered
libraries - Identify genes (clone genes)
10
Characterization of Nucleotide sequences and protein sequences - Blots
Blots -> Transfer of target molecules to filters -> analysis of target molecules on filters
1. Southern Blot: -> Hybridisation of DNA (target) with DNA or RNA (Probe)
used for detection and characterization of gene fragments
2. Northern Blot: -> Hybrisation of RNA (target) with DNA or RNA (probe)
used for detection of transcrition level (mRNA) of expressed genes (can also be done by real-time PCR) -> analysis of gene expression
used for detection of size of transcript (length of mRNA) -> analysis of alternative splicing
3. Western Blot: -> Interaction of Antigen with Antibody
used for detection and localization of proteins
11
Detection of DNAs containing specific base sequences by the Southern blot technique.

Restriction fragment length polymorphism or RFLP analysis is used to identify a change in the genetic sequence that occurs at a site where a restriction enzyme cuts. RFLPs can be used to trace inhertitance patterns, identify specific mutations, and for other molecular genetic techniques.

Chromosome Walking
14
PCR – Polymerase Chain Reaction1993 Kary B Mullis received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
1. Step -> Denaturation (94-96º C)
2. Step -> Annealing (variable Temp.)
T -> 2-4 C below melting T
3. Step -> Extension (68-72º C)
Normally around 30-35 cycles -> around 1 mill copies
15
PCR
Reaction mix: • Primers (15 – 30 bp) -> GC at 3’ end, not too high Tm (40-70˚C), ho hairpine • Nucleotides (A,T, G,C)• Buffer -> Mg 2+ • Target DNA (around 10 ng)• Taq Polymerase (from Thermus aquaticus -> thermostable)
Fidelity: -> rate of misincorporation-> in DNA replication : 1 in 109 nucleotides (proof reading)-> in PCR (Taq polymerase) : 1 in 2x104 nucleotides
High fidelity PCR -> Pfu,… (engineered polymerases)
For Engineering purpose -> low fidelity -> introduction of mutations- Change of salt (Mg 2+ -> Mn2+) and salt concentration- increase concentration of polymerase- Not equal amount of nucleotides or dITP
16
PCR Applications
• Amplification of DNA• Modification of ends for cloning (RACE)• Analysis of PCR products (nested primers)• Cloning of genes (amplification from genome or library)• Introduction of site-specific mutations• Joining ends (religation of different DNA molecules) without ligation• Invitro splicing• Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-PCR• Real-time PCR -> Diagnostics• Asymmetric PCR -> ssDNA -> sequencing• Detection of Infections (bacterial, viral) -> Diagnostics• Detection of sex in prenatal cells• Fingerprinting -> forensic medicine• PCR on a Chip -> Detection of human pathogen organisms• In situ PCR -> studying disease states, mapping chromosomes,…

21
Real-time PCR
22
Detection of sex in prenatal cells
23
PCR fingerprinting: for identification of bacteria, forensic purpose (to assist in the identification of individuals on the basis of their respective DNA profiles
24
DNA Sequencing
1. According to Maxam- Gilbert -> selective chemical degratation
2. According to Sanger -> polymerase reaction with nucleotide analog
25
DNA Sequencing – Sanger methodPolymerase Reaction:
5’-> 3’
-> incorporation of ddNTP -> 3’ end has NO OH group -> Polymerase reaction stops!!!
