Pengembangan Set Multipleks Penanda DNA Mikrosatelit untuk Analisis Variasi Genetik Padi dan Kedelai
<p>Detection of multiplex microsatellite markers in a<br />single capillary array on a laser detection system is traditionally<br />conducted with specific primers that are labelled with<br />fluorescent dyes. An alternative method using fluorescent<br />labels that are appended to 5’ end of universal primer M13<br />instead of to the specific primers offers flexibility in<br />designning multiplex panels and a less expensive method.<br />Allele size range of microsatellite loci that can be grouped in<br />multiplex panels can be accurately estimated by pooling and<br />analyzing DNA samples from several genotypes simultaneously.<br />This paper describes the procedure in development<br />of microsatellite multiplex panels using M13 fluorescentlylabelled<br />and estimation of allele size range based on pooled<br />DNA strategies. Two multiplex panels of PCR amplification<br />products for rice consisting of 15 loci and three panels for<br />soybean consisting of 10 loci have been designed. The<br />panels have been applied to 50 accessions of rice and soybean<br />with fairly good results. Further characterization of<br />allele size range, however, is required prior to the application<br />of these panels to diverse genotypes. The procedure<br />described here should be applicable in the development of<br />multiplex panels of other species.</p>
