  • the random sequences described in a) of the above method can be generated easily using straight-forward computer algorithms.
  • Simulation of PCR reactions as in b) of the above method can be performed by, for example, searching both strands of the target sequence for a sequence complementary to the primer sequence, permitting varying degrees of mismatch, for example 3 mismatches.
  • a PCR product is scored if a suitable match is found on both strands and the matching sequences are within a predetermined distance from each other, for example from 100 to 1,000 bp apart. Searches can be performed using using any of several commercially available software packages, such as FINDPATTERNS in the Wisconsin GCG package.
  • Non-redundant nucleotide sequence databases are used to provide target sequences for PCR simulations.
  • Nucleotide sequence databases are easily accessible to skilled person, two of the largest and most well-known being the Genbank and EMBL databanks. From these databanks, a subset of sequences are selected. Only sequences containing at least 500 bp, preferably at least 1000 bp, of coding sequence are selected. Furthermore redundant sequences are eliminated. That is to say, for any given gene, often more than one entry occurs in the databank and it is desirable to select only one of the entries if they all have very similar sequences.
  • One method of achieving this is to compare databank entries which have a common word in their sequence descriptions with a sequence comparison program, for example FASTA, and eliminate the shorter sequence if the two sequences have sequence identity above a percentage threshold, preferably greater than 95%. It is also d desirable to eliminate intron sequences from genomic sequences to produce a contiguous cDNA sequence.
  • a sequence comparison program for example FASTA
  • the oligonucleotide primers may be of any length and preferably comprise from at least 10 to 20 nucleotides, for example they may consist of 12, 15 or 18 nucleotides, more preferably 12 nucleotides. Primers may contain additional groups such as labelling groups, for example biotin, or radio- labelled substituents . Primers may be synthesised using standard methods known to those skilled in the art, for example using an automated oligonucleotide synthesiser.
  • the efficiency index as defined above and used as one of the two criteria for selecting candidate primers should not be either too low (preferably > 2) or too high (preferably ⁇ . 10) .
  • the selectivity index as defined above and used as the other criterion for selecting candidate primers is preferably higher than 1, more preferably higher than 1.8, even more preferably higher than 2.
  • Some primers may produce PCR products containing both coding sequences and untranslated regions. However, the amount of coding sequence in some cases may be very small. Therefore, when determining efficiency and selectivity scores it may be preferable to only consider a primer as having yielded a product within a coding sequence if the amount of coding sequence within the product exceeds a predetermined percentage, for example 10, 30, 50 or 70%, or a predetermined length (e.g. 50, 100 or 200 nts) .
  • a predetermined percentage for example 10, 30, 50 or 70%, or a predetermined length (e.g. 50, 100 or 200 nts) .
  • the set of primers selected according to the method of the invention described above may be further selected from to produce a smaller set of primers. This can be accomplished by simply selecting primers with the highest selectivity indices. For example, if 500 primers are selected after steps a) to c) , it would not be necessary to synthesise all 500 primers for use in PCR techniques. A skilled person may only select, for example, from 10 to 100 primers. Generally, a skilled person would select primers with the highest selectivity index and efficiency index except that they may discard any primers with sequences that are too similar to other selected primers, for example if they are greater than 80% identical overall (or greater than 60% identical in the last 8 nucleotides at the 3 ' end) .
  • the kit described above will typically contain about from 10 to 200 primers, or pairs of primers degenerate at one position (e.g. the last nucleotide at the 3' end) preferably from 20 to 100 primers (or pairs) , for example 30, 60 or 96 primers (or pairs), selected by the method of the invention.
  • PCR simulations were run on two nonredundant (nr) databases, obtained from a combination of human or mouse sequences deposited into the Genbank and EMBL nucleotide sequence databanks (accessed through the GCG Wisconsin package, version 8.1-UNIX, August 1995) (7), using one arbitrary 12 -nt primer sequence at a time, thus assuming to each primer to anneal in a degenerate fashion to the sense and antisense strand.
  • the reduced human and mouse databases were obtained by selecting human or mouse sequences containing at least 1000 bp of coding region (CDS) .
  • CDS coding region
  • variable regions of immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors were eliminated, and all pairs of sequences sharing a word in their product descriptions were compared by the FASTA algorithm (8) ; the shorter one was eliminated when >95% identical to the other.
  • Intronic regions were eliminated from genomic sequences, generating new transcribed sequence files containing uninterrupted cDNA.
  • Annealing of the primers was simulated by searching both strands for the sequence of each primer in the nr databases by means of the FINDPATTERNS program in the Wisconsin GCG package (7) , permitting a maximum of 3 mismatches. All pairings with one or more mismatched base (s) among the last 4 (at the 3 ' end) were excluded as unsuitable to prime a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) .
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • simulated PCR products were tagged with a CDS flag, if they contained a coding sequence portion, a UTR flag, if they contained a portion of 3' untranslated region.
  • Each primer could be assigned an "efficiency” score (total number of simulated PCR products in the sequence database) and a “selectivity” score (ratio of the probabilities of yielding a PCR product comprising // coding sequences or untranslated -3' regions) .
  • a crucial aspect in assessing the validity of the approach proposed here is to exclude the possibility that differences in "efficiency" observed among random primers are due to chance.
  • S s is a sequence composed of a s C/G nucleotides and b s A/T nucleotides
  • the probability of a G or C nucleotide in the primer matching an arbitrary nucleotide in the sequence is
  • P s A s • B s .
  • the average value of F s was 0.53 ( ⁇ 0.082) and in general P s was about 1-2-10 "4 , its value increasing for primers with increasing numbers of C/G nucleotides in the last 4 positions.
  • the ch.f. is computed by summing the logs of the single ch . f . ' s over the set of primers for the same sequence) .
  • a third distribution of interest is that of the number of "successful" primers per sequence (i.e. yielding at least one PCR product from the sequence), P3. This is computed in the same way using the modified p.d.f.,
  • Distribution P ⁇ is used to check whether the observed distribution of PCR products per primer significantly departs from the expectation: if a marked excess of particularly "good” and “poor” primers are found, this argues against a purely random distribution of nucleotides in the sequences of the databank.
  • Distributions P2 and P3 yield information on the exhaustivity of the approach, i.e. the capability of picking out as many different sequences as possible.
  • the shape of the p.d.f. P3 can be compared to the corresponding distribution, obtained by the simulation experiments, to check whether any bias is present towards a subpopulation of sequences (i.e. whether some sequences are significantly more subject to amplification than others) .
  • Reverse transcription is carried out using a (dT) 16 primer on 1 mg total RNA extracted by the caesium chloride method (9) .
  • Radioactive PCR reactions in duplicate, are performed from 2 ⁇ l of each RT reaction in 50 ⁇ l final volume with arbitrary 12-mers (final cone. 4 m ) , using Perkin Elmer 1 x Amplitaq polymerase + MgCl2 [1.5 . mM] .
  • PCR conditions are 3 minutes at 94 °C, 2 minutes at 80°C at which /
  • Taq polymerase is added (hot start) , followed by 35 cycles of 40 sees, at 94°C, 1 min. at 50°C, 1 min. at 72°C, with a final elongation step of 5 ins at 72°C.
  • 0.2 ⁇ l [ ⁇ - 32 P]dCTP are added to each reaction.
  • Amplified products are separated on a 5% denaturing polyacrylamide gel and visualized by autoradiography . Differentially displayed bands are cut from the gel and electroeluted in dialysis bags as described (2) . Bands are reamplified using the same 12-mer primers and cloned into a modified pBluescript II SK+ (Stratagene) . Clones corresponding to differentially displayed bands are selected from the background of unrelated products.
  • a series of 1000 acceptable primers (according to criteria a, b and c) were challenged against the human nr database to measure their efficiency (total number of simulated PCR products) and selective affinity for coding portions of transcripts. Only primers yielding >100 simulated PCR products out of 2 , 085-sequences of our human nr database (6.04 Mb total DNA, 72.8% CDS) were included in the "good primers" list (158 primers) ,- 497 primers were discarded because of their similarity to previously included primers (criterium d) . The remaining 345 primers yielded ⁇ 100 simulated PCR products.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a histogram of the number of simulated PCR products obtained from each primer in this series (503 primers) . Also illustrated is the probability density function (%) expected based on the probability of matching to the randomly scrambled database sequences (see Section b for details on the computation of this curve) . It can be clearly seen that the observed distribution does not fit a random distribution of bases in the sequences, and that the extreme shoulders of the distribution curve are markedly overcrowded. This indicates a large excess of particularly poor and particularly efficient primers, and points to the IS possibility of selecting efficient PCR primers based on the present "simulated gene fishing" approach.
  • the simulation was repeated (MOUSE12.8) by testing the same series of primers on the mouse nr nucleotide database, containing 1041 sequences comprised of 2.95 Mb total nucleotide sequence, (72.5% CDS), in order to check whether species-specific features in sequence composition played a major role in determining the efficiency scores of different primers. In this case 193 "good" primers and 326 inefficient ones were obtained; 481 primers were not considered due to criterium d. The distribution of the numbers of simulated PCR products per primer was qualitatively similar to the one obtained in the human database (not shown) .
  • Figure 2 is a scatter plot of the number of simulated PCR products obtained in the human (x-axis) vs. the mouse (y- axis) database, with the same primers (454) .
  • some "genetic strings" the base composition of some particular oligonucleotides
  • the primers selected because of their ⁇ c high efficiency in yielding simulated PCR products may be directed towards subpopulations of genetic sequences. If this were the case, the number of sequences not picked out
  • Figure 3 illustrates this point; in particular, it shows the distributions of the numbers of PCR products generated by each primer in the human database (A) , and the distribution of the numbers of different primers yielding at least one PCR product from each transcript (B) .
  • Data are relative to sequences containing at least 1000 bp of coding region.
  • the dashed line in B represents the expected distribution of numbers of primers (among the 96 selected here) picking out each sequence, given the average value of such distribution
  • Figure 4 shows that the best 96 primer pairs yield a distribution of number of primers spotting each sequence which is shifted to the right with respect to the expectation (solid line) , suggesting that this subset of primers is particularly efficient; the distribution is well fit when the expectation is corrected for the mean efficiency of this particular set of primers (dashed line) and the number of sequences yielding no simulated PCR products, d) Experimental assessment of the primer panel
  • Sensitivity Besides assessing the above issues, we tried to determine whether our internal primers exhibit a preference for highly abundant transcripts (sensitivity) in at least two cases, cDNA clones generated by our method produced no hybridization signal by northern analysis of 30 mg total RNA. In two cases, cDNAs found by RT-PCR in a given tissue have required plating of over 10 ⁇ pfu to permit isolation of the corresponding gene by hybridization-based screening of the appropriate library.
