Research abstract

65732 Deoxyribonucleic acid optical mapping and fiber fluorescence in situ hybridization are technologies for genomic physical mapping to support chromosome analysis at kilobase resolution while retaining long range continuity information. Existing techniques are low in resolution, and cannot map large DNA molecules ¿ in the mm range ¿ showing the extent of clone overlap or the separation between elements. This project will develop a Microarray Electrophoretic DNA Mapping system, based on a multistage electrophoresis chip, to carry out rapid semiautomated screening of DNA samples for gene rearrangements, with a resolution below kilobase. In Phase I, the system will be constructed, and the rapid homogeneous stretching and mapping of multiple DNA molecules will be carried out. Subsystems for spectroscopic imaging and laser diode heating will be included. In Phase II, the system will be integrated into a preproduction prototype. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The DNA mapping system not only can be used as a new genetic diagnostic method but also will contribute to the basic understanding of molecular events involved in DNA transcription, replication, and gene regulation.
