Description générale

GenomePlex® Whole Genome Amplification WGA kit is suitable for use with genomic DNA, whole blood, buffy coats, buccal swabs, and cultured cells. Amplification requires only a small amount of starting material (1 μL blood, single cheek swab, or 10 ng of gDNA), which after PCR produces a yield of 5 - 10 μg per reaction. The amplified DNA can be purified and stored or used for downstream analyses including ABI′s TaqMan® assays, microsatellite analysis, or sequencing. GenomePlex gives a complete representation of the entire genome with no detectable allele bias.

WGA Kit utilizes a proprietary technology based on random fragmentation of genomic DNA and conversion of the resulting small fragments to PCR-amplifiable library molecules flanked by universal priming sites. WGA is achieved by PCR amplification of the library molecules using universal oligonucleotide primers.

GenomePlex method allows the researcher to generate a representative, ~500-fold amplification of genomic DNA. The amplification yield is dependent on the purity and amount of starting material. This kit contains all the required reagents to perform library preparation and fragmentation.

Application

GenomePlex® Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) Kit has been used to amplify input and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) DNA. It has also been used in the fragmentation of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones from bacterial cultures for the preparation of repeat free (RF) probes.

Caractéristiques et avantages

  • Higher yield from minimal template: Amplification of nanogram amounts (10ng) of genomic DNA to microgram yields (5-10 μg) in less than about three hours
  • Nanograms of samples can be preserved at –20 °C for future use
  • Choose from a variety of DNA sources: whole blood, buccal swab, blood card, plant, soil, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE)
  • Compatible with a wide variety of downstream applications such as TaqMan® and BeadArray assays
  • Universal primers
  • Whole-genome representation with no detectable bias
  • Increased accuracy in amplification produces no amplicon in the negative control reactions

Autres remarques

The sequences of the universal primers provided in this kit are considered proprietary.
