Summary: | A protocol of simple rapid microdissection of single-chromosome, amplification and cloning of its DNA fromLilium regale Wilson is described. Single-chromosome, microdissected by micromanipulator, was put into a 0.5 mL Eppendorf tube and digested with Sau3A, and then the Sau3A linker adaptors were ligated to the ends of DNA fragments. After 2 rounds of PCR amplification with one chain of linker adaptor as primer, the PCR products thus obtained have a length of 300–2500 base pairs (bp) with predominant fragments at about 1000 bp. Southern blot analysis confirmed that the PCR products originated from the genome ofLilium regale Wilson. By cloning the amplification products from the second round of PCR, single-chromosome DNA library was constructed, in which about as many as 100000 recombinant clones were produced. A total number of 84 clones were analysed, and it was revealed that the inserts ranged in size from 300 to 1800 bp, with an average of780 bp. Compared with the methods described in other literature, this protocol, eliminating the need for enzymatic digestion and ligating micromanipulation of chromosomal DNA in nanoliter volumes, permits the efficient amplification of single chromosome (not tens of chromosomes as reported before) and the fragments (780 bp in average) cloned in this study are longer than those reported before (650 bp in average). |
