Single-molecule denaturation mapping of DNA in nanofluidic channels

Reisner, Walter ; Larsen, Niels B. ; Silahtaroglu, Asli ; Kristensen, Anders ; Tommerup, Niels ; Tegenfeldt, Jonas LU orcid and Flyvbjerg, Henrik (2010) In Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 107(30). p.13294-13299
Abstract
Here we explore the potential power of denaturation mapping as a single-molecule technique. By partially denaturing YOYO (R)-1-labeled DNA in nanofluidic channels with a combination of formamide and local heating, we obtain a sequence-dependent "barcode" corresponding to a series of local dips and peaks in the intensity trace along the extended molecule. We demonstrate that this structure arises from the physics of local denaturation: statistical mechanical calculations of sequence-dependent melting probability can predict the barcode to be observed experimentally for a given sequence. Consequently, the technique is sensitive to sequence variation without requiring enzymatic labeling or a restriction step. This technique may serve as the... (More)
