Wristwatch PCR: A Versatile and Efficient Genome Walking Strategy
Genome walking is a method used to retrieve unknown flanking DNA. Here, we reported wristwatch (WW) PCR, an efficient genome walking technique mediated by WW primers (WWPs). WWPs feature 5′- and 3′-overlap and a heterologous interval. Therefore, a wristwatch-like structure can be formed between WWPs...

description | Genome walking is a method used to retrieve unknown flanking DNA. Here, we reported wristwatch (WW) PCR, an efficient genome walking technique mediated by WW primers (WWPs). WWPs feature 5′- and 3′-overlap and a heterologous interval. Therefore, a wristwatch-like structure can be formed between WWPs under relatively low temperatures. Each WW-PCR set is composed of three nested (primary, secondary, and tertiary) PCRs individually performed by three WWPs. The WWP is arbitrarily annealed somewhere on the genome in the one low-stringency cycle of the primary PCR, or directionally to the previous WWP site in one reduced-stringency cycle of the secondary/tertiary PCR, producing a pool of single-stranded DNAs (ssDNAs). A target ssDNA incorporates a gene-specific primer (GSP) complementary at the 3′-end and the WWP at the 5′-end and thus can be exponentially amplified in the next high-stringency cycles. Nevertheless, a non-target ssDNA cannot be amplified as it lacks a perfect binding site for any primers. The practicability of the WW-PCR was validated by successfully accessing unknown regions flanking Lactobacillus brevis CD0817 glutamate decarboxylase gene and the hygromycin gene of rice. The WW-PCR is an attractive alternative to the existing genome walking techniques. |
