  7. Introduction to Barcode Microarrays

  8. Barcode Microarray Method • The red and green arrows represent PCR primers • Unique combination of A, C, G, Ts for each barcode yeast strain • Barcode microarray uses these unique sequences as printing material • Each spot on microarray represents a unique barcode sequence of a deletion strain

  9. Synthesizing Probes for Barcode Microarray • Allow the mixture of different barcode yeast strains to grow • Take a sample of the initial population, use the gDNA as templates for PCR using the two pairs of primers, then label the products with red dye • After the different deletion strains grow more, competing with each other, take another sample and label the products with green dye

  10. Barcode Application

  11. My Research Questions • Can we make barcode microarrays on glass? • Is there steric hindrance? • What is the optimal probe concentration? • What is the optimal hybridization temperature?

  12. Probe to Buffer Ratio Was signal strong enough to be analyzed? 1:500 No 1:50 No 1:25 No 1:5 Yes 1:3.3 Yes 1:2.5 Yes Concentration Dependence • Suggested concentration of 1:500 in the protocol resulted in no visible spots after scanning • No significant difference in signal strength was observed between the last three concentrations

  13. Hybridization and Data Analysis • 96 samples of 40-mer barcodes from Johns Hopkins University • Two identical probes only differing in label colors, prepared by Drs. Daniel S. Yuan and Jef Boeke

  14. Notable Trends in Data • Because the probes were prepared identically, only differing in the color label, the ratios were expected to be close to 1 • Ratios consistently hovered around 0.5 (Cy5/Cy3) due to weaker Cy5 (Red) signal compared to Cy3 (Green) signal

  16. Discussion and Future Directions • Signal seems strong enough to generate quality ratio data • Higher incubation temperatures (40°C and 43°C) at two different probe to buffer ratios have been tested and being analyzed • Synthesize probes with dendrimer binding sequences and use dendrimers as fluorescent dyes to increase signal
