Figure Lengend Snippet: The tagged microarray approach. (a) Two alleles are distinguished by PCR using three primers. The biotinylated PCR products are arrayed onto a solid support and hybridised with detector probes, which recognise tags specific to the two products. (b) Structure of a tag primer. The allele-specific region is separated from the tag by a C18 linker. (c) Tag detector probe. Two partially complementary oligonucleotides carry a tag sequence (the A tag in this case), its reverse complement (A′), a region of cross-homology (B and B′ for this pair) and a fluorochrome each.

Article Snippet: PCR products were arrayed directly from 384-well PCR plates (ABgene TF-0384) onto streptavidin-coated glass microarray slides (Xenopore) at 19–21°C, 40–50% relative humidity, with no extra processing steps, using a Biorobotics Microgrid-II-TAS instrument fitted with 0.2 mm solid pins (the use of a smaller pin diameter resulted in much smaller spots but inferior signal strength).

Figure Lengend Snippet: The tagged microarray approach applied to a pea genomic retrotransposon insertion. (a) The two alleles differ by the presence or absence of a retrotransposon insertion (PDR1 here). Different PCR products are produced from the two alleles and these can be recognised either by gel electrophoresis or the tagged microarray approach (Fig. ​(Fig.1).1). (b) Microarray image from 384 pea samples assayed for the 1794-1 allele. Each sample was spotted four times in a row. Cy3 fluorescing spots (green) represent the occupied site allele and Cy5 labelled spots (red) show the unoccupied site allele. Arrowed samples were analysed by gel electrophoresis (Fig. ​(Fig.1c).1c). (c) Agarose gel of samples arrowed in (b), together with corresponding fluorescent images taken from the array image. (d) Quantitation of array spot intensities shown in (c). SD, standard deviation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Modifications to the tagged microarray approach. (a) Using tag detectors labelled with different fluorochromes produces different fluorescent outputs from the same samples. Sample JI 2698 contains an occupied 1794-1 allele and sample Therèse is unoccupied. Samples were spotted in triplicate. (b) Using four tag detectors to analyse the allelic state for two loci in the same reaction. Sample JI 2698 is occupied for 1794-1 and unoccupied for UniTpv, sample Therèse is unoccupied for 1794-1 and occupied for UniTpv and sample JI 2055 is unoccupied for both loci. Tag detectors used for both loci produce Cy3 signal (green) from an occupied allele and Cy5 signal (red) from an unoccupied allele.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microarray image for 1536 pea DNA samples assayed for the 1794-1 allele under the same conditions as Figure ​Figure2b.2b. Red (Cy5) spots indicate samples containing an unoccupied (–) allele, green indicates occupied (+) and yellow indicates both alleles (+/–). Each PCR was spotted once per array.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Detection of barley SNP polymorphisms using the tagged microarray approach. Cultivars Steptoe and Morex have contrasting alleles for SNP 206 and SNP 957. Cy5 fluorescence indicates the presence of one allele and Cy3 the other. Samples were spotted in triplicate. The Cy3 (green) and Cy5 (red) colour-separated images and the two-colour (overlay) image are shown. Quantification of averaged array intensities (in arbitrary fluorescence units) and the Cy3/Cy5 ratios of signal intensities are also shown. SD, standard deviation.
