Genotyping Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms with Molecular Beacons


Stratagenes custom molecular beacon synthesis assists in detecting SNPs quickly and easily

We used Stratagenes custom molecular beaconsff, to detect a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a region of chromosome 10q25.1 and showed clear discrimination among the different genotypes carried in family members. This molecular beacons application provides a fast and simple method that can be performed in 2 hours in a 96-well format and is especially suitable for high-throughout, high-quality genotyping of SNPs.

SNPs are the most frequently found DNA sequence variations in the human genome (about 1 per 350 bp frequency).1 The ability to efficiently genotype SNPs is increasingly seen as fundamental to identifying genetic factors associated with complex diseases. There are a number of available methods for SNP genotyping, ranging from traditional gel-based formats to detection with the TaqMan system2 and DNA microarrays3 that have offered the promise of high-throughput screening.

Molecular Beacon Technology

Molecular beacons are hairpin-shaped fluorescent hybridization probes that can be used to monitor the accumulation of specific product in a closed-tube in real time PCR. The homogeneous format eliminates the need for gel electrophoresis, reduces the time, effort, and risk of contamination involved with performing PCR analysis. Molecular beacons contain a fluorophore and a quencher moiety at opposite ends of an oligonucleotide. The ends of the oligonucleotide are designed to be complementary to each other and can form a stem structure, while the intervening loop is complementary to a sequence within the amplified product. When the unhybridized probe is in solu
