Abstract
We have developed a general procedure for the rapid and efficient enrichment of specific DNA, RNA or cDNA sequences. Biotinylated DNA or RNA is used as a hybridization probe in solution, avidin is then added to label both the probe and hybrid molecules, and the hybridization mixture chromatographed over cupric-iminodiacetic acid agarose beads. Avidin-probe and avidin-hybrid molecules are selectively retained on the column; non-hybridized sequences are contained in the flow-through fraction. Sequences retained on the column are recovered in high yield by the addition of ethylenediamine tetracetic acid in the buffer. The method can be used in both subtractive enrichment and positive selection protocols. Here we report its application to the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae specific genomic DNA clones and the purification of a cDNA subpopulation representing mRNA sequences that are over-expressed in murine Friend cells after dimethylsulfoxide induction.Keywords
