Targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) is a general strategy for identifying induced point mutations that can be applied to almost any organism. In this chapter, we describe the basic methodology for high-throughput TILLING. Gene segments are amplified using fluorescently tagged primers, and products are denatured and reannealed to form heteroduplexes between the mutated sequence and its wild-type counterpart. These heteroduplexes are substrates for cleavage by the endonuclease CEL I. Following cleavage, products are analyzed on denaturing polyacrylamide gels using the LI-COR DNA analyzer system. High-throughput TILLING has been adopted by the Arabidopsis TILLING Project (ATP) to provide allelic series of point mutations for the general Arabidopsis community.
基因组靶向诱导局部损伤技术(TILLING)是一种识别诱导点突变的通用策略,几乎可应用于任何生物体。在本章中,我们描述了高通量TILLING的基本方法。使用荧光标记引物扩增基因片段,产物变性并重新退火,以在突变序列与其野生型对应序列之间形成异源双链体。这些异源双链体是核酸内切酶CEL I切割的底物。切割后,使用LI-COR DNA分析仪系统在变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶上分析产物。拟南芥TILLING项目(ATP)采用了高通量TILLING技术,为整个拟南芥研究群体提供点突变的等位基因系列。
