Method for capturing genetic deafness gene sequence in targeted manner and sequencing method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to a method for capturing genetic deafness gene sequences in a targeted mode and a sequencing method.
Background
With the development of second-generation sequencing, genome sequencing becomes the most important means for identifying relevant site variation with high throughput and high depth so as to identify potential diseases, and has wide application in scientific research. The high-throughput sequencing can directly obtain a large amount of related site variation information, and has great significance for precise medical treatment.
The DNA targeting enrichment technology is applied to high-throughput sequencing, and can improve the proportion of a target region after a genome target region or interested target nucleic acid is enriched. Therefore, by using a DNA targeting enrichment technology, a specific disease-related target region, such as a human exome or a hereditary hearing loss gene, can be enriched, the sequencing cost can be greatly reduced, and the potential is huge. For example, exome sequencing only achieves sequencing of sequences which account for about 1% -2% of the full length of the human genome, and sequence information of exome regions is obtained by sequencing after capture, so that compared with whole genome sequencing, the cost is reduced by 50-100 times. And the genetic deafness gene region is captured, and genetic deafness gene sequences accounting for about 0.2 percent of the whole genome are enriched, so that the sequencing cost is greatly reduced.
Genetic deafness genotyping technology based on targeted capture currently comprises enrichment technology based on solid-phase carrier chips and enrichment technology based on solid-phase carrier magnetic beads. Solid phase carriers for nucleic acid hybridization, such as glass, plates, dishes, microspheres, and the like, need to be modified to specifically bind nucleic acids, such as magnetic beads, and need to be modified to specifically bind nucleic acids. However, the binding of nucleic acids is directional, and the amount of probes that can be bound is low, such as the current commercialized magnetic bead-based targeted nucleic acid molecule enrichment products, wherein a certain product has the characteristics that 20 micrograms of double-stranded DNA can be bound per milligram of magnetic bead, and the price per milligram of magnetic bead is about 240 yuan, which is high in cost. Meanwhile, the amount of the probe, the source of the probe, the preparation method of the probe, and the like are different due to different target enrichment techniques, which not only affects the diversity of the target nucleic acid, but also affects the cost.
Other reported methods for identifying hereditary deafness genes by enrichment technology all need to synthesize modified single-stranded nucleic acid probes and prepare modified solid phase carriers simultaneously by means of artificial synthesis. The enrichment process is also mostly to form nucleic acid probes firstly: target nucleic acid complex, and then nucleic acid complex: and (5) enriching the carrier to obtain the enriched target nucleic acid sequence. Since the binding of the complex to the carrier passes through the modifying groups of the nucleic acid probe and the solid phase carrier, the probe modification and the coating of the solid phase carrier with a specific group are inevitably carried out, which increases the capturing cost and complicates the steps.
