Our genome is exposed to a wide variety of DNA-damaging agents. If left unrepaired, this damage can be converted into mutations that promote carcinogenesis or the development of genetically inherited diseases. As a result, researchers and clinicians require tools that can detect DNA damage and mutations with exceptional sensitivity. In this study, we describe a massively parallel sequencing tool termed Mutation And DNA Damage Detection-seq (MADDD-seq) that is capable of detecting O6-methyl guanine lesions and mutations simultaneously, with a single assay. To illustrate the dual capabilities of MADDD-seq, we treated WT and DNA repair deficient yeast cells with the DNA-damaging agent MNNG and tracked DNA lesions and mutations over a 24-h time period. This approach allowed us to identify thousands of DNA adducts and mutations in a single sequencing run and gain deep insight into the kinetics of DNA repair and mutagenesis.
我们的基因组会暴露于各种类型的 DNA 损伤试剂中。如果这些损伤得不到修复,就可能会转化为促进癌变或遗传疾病发展的突变。因此,研究人员和临床医生需要能够以极高的灵敏度检测 DNA 损伤和突变的工具。在这项研究中,我们描述了一种名为“突变和 DNA 损伤检测测序(Mutation And DNA Damage Detection-seq,MADDD-seq)”的大规模平行测序工具,该工具能够在单个检测中同时检测 O6-甲基鸟嘌呤损伤和突变。为了说明 MADDD-seq 的双重功能,我们用 DNA 损伤试剂 MNNG 处理 WT 和 DNA 修复缺陷型酵母细胞,并在 24 小时的时间内追踪 DNA 损伤和突变。这种方法使我们能够在单个测序运行中鉴定数千个 DNA 加合物和突变,并深入了解 DNA 修复和诱变的动力学。
