Article Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between microarray probes and RNA targets can affect the performance of expression array by weakening the hybridization. In this paper, we examined the effect of the SNPs on Affymetrix GeneChip probe set summaries and the expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping results in two eQTL datasets, one from mouse and one from human. We showed that removing SNP-containing probes significantly changed the probe set summaries and the more SNP-containing probes we removed the greater the change. Comparison of the eQTL mapping results between with and without SNP-containing probes showed that less than 70% of the significant eQTL peaks were concordant regardless of the significance threshold. These results indicate that SNPs do affect both probe set summaries and eQTLs (both cis and trans), thus SNP-containing probes should be filtered out to improve the performance of eQTL mapping.

In this work, we develop a field-effect transistor with a two-dimensional channel made of a single graphene layer to achieve label-free detection of DNA hybridization down to attomolar concentration, while being able to discriminate a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The SNP-level target specificity is achieved by immobilization of probe DNA on the graphene surface through a pyrene-derivative heterobifunctional linker. Biorecognition events result in a positive gate voltage shift of the graphene charge neutrality point.

A robust and sensitive electrochemical assay for chrononocoulometric detection of nucleic acids at a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level has been developed. The assay exploits hybridization-induced conformational switching of gold-tethered TP53-specific 33-mer and truncated 20-mer hairpin DNA probes and methylene blue (MB) as an intercalating redox indicator. We show that by fine tuning of MB-DNA intercations the enhanced binding of MB to hybrids formed with a cancer-biomarker sequence can be achieved, and that results in robust "off-on" sensing of hybridization, while the stem-loop probe design allows minimized, independent of the DNA length background signals.

Hybridization-based techniques have been extensively employed for the analysis of specific DNA/RNA sequences. Herein, we describe highly specific inexpensive smart hybridization-based sensor that takes advantage of a universal molecular beacon probe as a fluorescent reporter. The sensor has a straightforward design, and demonstrates improved selectivity and specificity of nucleic acid recognition.

A simple and robust "off-on" signaling genosensor platform with improved selectivity for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection based on the electronic DNA hairpin molecular beacons has been developed. The DNA beacons were immobilized onto gold electrodes in their folded states through the alkanethiol linker at the 3'-end, while the 5'-end was labeled with a methylene blue (MB) redox probe. A typical "on-off" change of the electrochemical signal was observed upon hybridization of the 27-33 nucleotide (nt) long hairpin DNA to the target DNA, in agreement with all the hitherto published data.

The present research was to develop the exciplex-based fluorescence detection of DNA. A SNP-containing region of cytochrome P450 2C9 DNA systems was evaluated to define some of the structural and associated requirement of this new class of exciplex-formed probe, and a 24-base target was selected which contains single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes coding for cytochrome P450. The two probes were all 12-base to give coverage of a 24-base target region to ensure specificity within the human genome.
