Título: | PCR strategies for complete allele calling in multigene families using high-throughput sequencing approaches |
Autor: | Marmesat, Elena; Soriano, Laura CSIC ORCID; Mazzoni, Camila J.; Sommer, Simone; Godoy, José A. CSIC ORCID CVN | Fecha de publicación: | 2016 | Editor: | Public Library of Science | Citación: | PLoS ONE 11. : e0157402 (2016) | Resumen: | The characterization of multigene families with high copy number variation is often approached through PCR amplification with highly degenerate primers to account for all expected variants flanking the region of interest. Such an approach often introduces PCR biases that result in an unbalanced representation of targets in high-throughput sequencing libraries that eventually results in incomplete detection of the targeted alleles. Here we confirm this result and propose two different amplification strategies to alleviate this problem. The first strategy (called pooled-PCRs) targets different subsets of alleles in multiple independent PCRs using different moderately degenerate primer pairs, whereas the second approach (called pooled-primers) uses a custom-made pool of non-degenerate primers in a single PCR. We compare their performance to the common use of a single PCR with highly degenerate primers using the MHC class I of the Iberian lynx as a model. We found both novel approaches to work similarly well and better than the conventional approach. They significantly scored more alleles per individual (11.33 ± 1.38 and 11.72 ± 0.89 vs 7.94 ± 1.95), yielded more complete allelic profiles (96.28 ± 8.46 and 99.50 ± 2.12 vs 63.76 ± 15.43), and revealed more alleles at a population level (13 vs 12). Finally, we could link each allele's amplification efficiency with the primer-mismatches in its flanking sequences and show that ultra-deep coverage offered by high-throughput technologies does not fully compensate for such biases, especially as real alleles may reach lower coverage than artefacts. Adopting either of the proposed amplification methods provides the opportunity to attain more complete allelic profiles at lower coverages, improving confidence over the downstream analyses and subsequent applications. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/146437 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0157402 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0157402 issn: 1932-6203 |
