PCR-RFLP STR (microsatellites)RAPDAFLP
2
Some methods to detect DNA polymorphisms
• SNP analysis: by chip analysis or PCR
• RFLP: e.g. sickle cell globin, sometimes no hybridisation necessary e.g. mitochondrial DNA
• PCR e.g. followed by sequence analysis
• PCR-RFLP: PCR, followed by restriction digest (e.g. ITS of rDNA or chloroplast DNA)
• STR: short tandem repeats or microsatelites, usually detected by PCR
• RAPD: random PCR
• AFLP: PCR of selected restriction fragments
3
PCR-RFLP
• A1 & A2 are 2 alleles of one locus
• PCR primer pair is choosen to amplify this region
• Restriction digest
• DNA polymorphism results in differential cutting
• Analysis on agarose gelVery simple and cheapLimited to certain DNA
regions (ITS, cp genes,etc.)Not very polymorphic

VNTR=variable number of tandem repeats
• VNTRs are hypervariable due to mistakes during replication or recombination
• Microsatellites or STR (Short Tandem Repeat) or SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat): are repeats of a motif of 2, 3 or 4 nucleotides many times (such as CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG)
• Minisatelites were the first DNA fingerprints used in humans, they have larger motifs (tens of nucleotides) and are usually analysed by RFLP
• These types of repeats have been found in all eukaryotes studied
• Because of the high variability, they can be used to make individual DNA fingerprints
9
Minisatelites are usually analysed via hybridisation = variant of RFLP-analysis see RFLP, not much used anymore
VNTR=variable number of tandem repeats
10
A diploid organism has 2 alleles of a minisatellite locus, but many alleles can be present in a population
VNTR=variable number of tandem repeats
Who did it?
genetic fingerprints
If enough loci are analysed, the banding pattern is specific for
the individual
Who is the father?
M C F1 F2
Every child (C) gets half of its DNA from the mother (M) and the other half from its
father
F1 of F2?

STR= short tandem repeats
Microsatellites (STR, short tandem repeats or SSR simple sequence repeats) are usually studied by PCR, with analysis on polyacrylamide gel, detection can be by silver staining or incorporation of radioactivity or fluorescence
simple, fast, very polymorphic, much information if on several loci
development time-consuming, loci need to be searched for and sequenced

Example:
Combination of several single locus analyses (code of primer pairs on top)S1, S2, S3: the suspectsU1 tot U7: sperm samples collected from several women that had been raped.
STR= short tandem repeats
15
Single locus analyses can be combined on 1 gel if fragment sizes differ sufficiently and/or by incorporating different fluorescent colours.
STR= short tandem repeats
16
RAPD
• RAPD = random amplification of polymorphic DNA• Principle: one short primer (e.g. 10 nucleotides) is
used in the PCR reaction, this primer binds where it finds homology (many places), if two primers are by chance pointing to each other and not too far away, they can give a PCR product

• Example: RAPD patterns of different populations of Heterodera schachtii and of some other Heterodera species (21-23)
RAPD
18
Main advantages of RAPD: • Simple technique (analysis on agarose gel)• No sequence information needed to do this
type of PCR
Main disadvantage:• Not very reproducible
RAPD
19
AFLP
• AFLP is a technique in which differences in restriction fragments are revealed by PCR, and this not for one locus but for a larger number of loci in one reaction
• In a first step the restriction fragments are generated by using two different enzymes (a frequent tetra-cutter and a more rare hexacutter)
• Adapters are ligated to these fragments in order to have known sequences for primer design
• Selected fragments are amplified (to have between 50-150 bands on the gel) and separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (detection by autoradiography or fluorescence)

AFLP
• Selected fragments are amplified (to have 50-150 bands on the gel) and separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (detection by autoradiography or fluorescence)
• This selection is made by using longer primers: every extra nucleotide decreases the number of fragments by 1/4, so 2 extra nucleotides on each primer will amplify 1/256
• By repeating this second amplification with other primer pairs (other selective nucleotides) a different subset of the genome is amplified.

AFLP
24
The main advantages of AFLP are• No need for known sequences in the genome• High reproducibility• Many loci are simultaneously analysed• By changing the selective nucleotides a
different part of the genome (and thus different loci) can be analysed
• Whole genome analysis is (theoretically) possible
The main disadvantage: complex procedure

Choice of marker
28
• Depending on the level where polymorphisms need to be analysed, a different method has te be choosen
Level polymorphisms
Family > genus > species > cultivar or individual
Marker polymorphism
STR > SNP > AFLP > sequence > PCR-RFLP
• If the level of polymorphism is low, for example below species level, a highly polymorphic marker needs to be choosen such as STR
• For non-model organisms, SNP and STR are not usually available, AFLP is the fastest option, because for SNP/STR a lot of preparatory work is needed to find polymorphisms
