What is MLPA?

MLPA introductionMLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) is a multiplex PCR method detecting abnormal copy numbers of up to 50 different genomic DNA or RNA sequences, which is able to distinguish sequences differing in only one nucleotide (1). The MLPA technique is easy to use and can be performed in many laboratories, as it only requires a thermocycler and capillary electrophoresis equipment. Up to 96 samples can be handled simultaneously, with results being available within 24 hours. Although for most hereditary conditions, (partial) gene deletions or duplications account for less than 10 % of all disease-causing mutations, for many other disorders this is 10 to 30 % (2-8) or even higher still (9, 10). The inclusion of MLPA in clinical settings can therefore significantly increase the detection rate of many genetic disorders.Advantages of MLPAUsing MLPA for copy number detection offers many advantages over other techniques. First of all, methods which were primarily developed for detecting point mutations, such as sequencing and DHPLC, generally fail to detect copy numbers changes. Southern blot analysis, on the other hand, will reveal many aberrations but will not always detect small deletions and is not ideal as a routine technique. Although well-characterised deletions and amplifications can be detected by PCR, the exact breakpoint site of most deletions is unknown. Furthermore, when comparing MLPA to FISH, MLPA not only has the advantage of being a multiplex technique, but also one in which very small (50-70 NT) sequences are targeted, enabling MLPA to identify the frequent, single gene aberrations which are too small to be detected by FISH. Moreover, MLPA can be used on purified DNA. Finally, as compared to array CGH, MLPA is a low cost and technically uncomplicated method. Although MLPA is not suitable for genome-wide research screening, it is a good alternative to array-based techniques for many routine applications. The over 300 probe sets now commercially available are dedicated to applications ranging from the relatively common (Duchenne, DiGeorge syndrome, SMA) to the very rare (hereditary pancreatitis, Antithrombin deficiency, Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome).MLPA reactionTypical for MLPA is that it is not target sequences that are amplified, but MLPA probes that hybridise to the target sequence. In contrast to a standard multiplex PCR, a single pair PCR primers is used for MLPA amplification. The resulting amplification products of a SALSA MLPA kits range between 130 and 480 NT in length and can be analysed by capillary electrophoresis. Comparing the peak pattern obtained to that of reference samples indicates which sequences show aberrant copy numbers.The MLPA reaction can be divided in five major steps: 1) DNA denaturation and hybridisation of MLPA probes; 2) ligation reaction; 3) PCR reaction; 4) separation of amplification products by electrophoresis; and 5) data analysis. During the first step, the DNA is denatured and incubated overnight with a mixture of MLPA probes. MLPA probes consist of two separate oligonucleotides, each containing one of the PCR primer sequences. The two probe oligonucleotides hybridise to immediately adjacent target sequences. Only when the two probe oligonucleotides are both hybridised to their adjacent targets can they be ligated during the ligation reaction. Because only ligated probes will be exponentially amplified during the subsequent PCR reaction, the number of probe ligation products is a measure for the number of target sequences in the sample. The amplification products are separated using capillary electrophoresis. Probe oligonucleotides that are not ligated only contain one primer sequence. As a consequence, they cannot be amplified exponentially and will not generate a signal. The removal of unbound probes is therefore unnecessary in MLPA and makes the MLPA method easy to perform.


Do you need back ground check for muzzle loader in Maine?

No. However, if you are a "prohibited person" it is illegal for you to possess 209 shotshell primers. Percussion caps are OK, 209 primers are not.


Do you need a magnum primer for reloading a 270 wsm?

Yes, you need to use large rifle magnum primers.


Can small pistol and rifle primers be interchanged?

The SP and SR primers are same size, but with different cup thickness/hardness and different amount/brisance of priming compound. You will need to be vigilant in working up loads. You can use small rifle primers in place of small pistol, just not the reverse.


The pcr technique requires the use of a thermal cycler to?

1.) Melt the two strands of DNA. ~95 C2.) Anneal primers onto the DNA. ~55 C3.) Extend the primers. ~70 C


Does PCR require knowledge of the DNA sequences at the ends of the region to be amplified?

Yes, the primers need to anneal at the correct sites on the template strand for the specific region to be amplified. For the primers to attach to a specific site, they need to be in the correct sequence -- one that is opposite to the template sequence.


Why use touchdown PCR?

We use this principe when the annealing temperature of the two primers (reverse and forward) is different


What will you need to reolad Pistol ammunition in addition to a press?

Brass, primers, powder, projectiles, powder, reloading manual


Are Federal 209 primer are the same as Federal 209A primers?

Federal 209A primers are hotter than Federal 209 primers and are hotter than Winchester or Remmington or CCI 209 primers. To duplicate your load when substituting Federal 209A primers in place of any other 209 primer, use 1 grain less powder for like performance.


Why do scientists only need a tiny trace of DNA for tests?

The DNA undergoes a process named PCR (Polymer Chain Reaction) once the scientists get a hold of the DNA. essentially the DNA double helix is unwound and is split into its two strands, and random nucleotides (or primers as they are called in this process) attach to the two open strands. These primers form hydrogen bonds with the DNA strands. due to this, there are now two strands of DNA rather than just one. scientists do this over and over again, until they have enough DNA to be able to test whatever they need to test on it.


How much does gun primers cost?

Last large pistol primers I purchased for reloading were about $4.00 per hundred.
