One-lane sequence analysis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides*1

One-lane sequence analysis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides*1

This paper represents an early work towards the simplification of DNA sequencing, in the time when the Sanger dideoxy method was not yet quite established. The authors found modified chemical conditions, whereby chemical degradation of each of the four bases was effected in such a way that differential intensities were found that allowed for correct base calling. All oligos were labeled using T4polynucleotide kinase and P32. The chemical degradation conditions were: 0.4 aqueous piperidinium formate, pH 2, at 37°C for 6 h, followed by treatment with 1 aqueous piperidine at 90°C for 6 h. The degradation products were analyzed in a 27% polyacrylamide gel; the differential intensities of each of the bases was found to be G > A > C > T. Also the spacing obtained from a given band in relation to the next higher band in the ladder was unique for each base , this characteristic order of spacing was found to be G > T %u2265 A > C. This method is an improvement of the previous report by one of the authors, since this procedure renders a salt-free hydrolyzate, in such a way as to minimize possible electrophoretic artifacts of the smaller bands running at the front of the PAGE gel.
Bio-Synthesis Inc, has been producing synthetic oligonucleotides and Peptides for over 25 years; not only DNA, but RNA, other modified oligonucleotides, and more recently bio-conjugates, which have a number of applications on gene expression inhibition and related anti-sense studies. Also Synthetic Peptide and peptide antibodies for a number of biological relevant applications, in the areas of proteomics, epigenetics, immune regulation, post translational modifications, antisense , gene expression control, RNA interference just to mention a few.

About BSI

"The use of state-of-the art technology has allowed Bio-Synthesis, Inc. to rapidly gain recognition for its manufacturing quality & dependability of delivery."

Founded in 1984, Bio-Synthesis, Inc. was first known as OCS Laboratories. It was the first producer of commercially available synthetic DNA and, in 1985, became a producer of synthetic peptides. In 1989, OCS incorporated as Bio-Synthesis, Inc. and moved its laboratories to Lewisville, Texas. Today, BSI occupies 10,000 square feet of modern laboratory space (completed in 1995) located 20 miles from downtown Dallas and 10 miles from D/FW airport. Among the surrounding academic institutions are: University of Texas Southwestern Medical School (12 miles), University of North Texas (10 miles), and University of North Texas Health Science Center (25 miles). These universities provide excellent library resources. Since its inception, BSI has steadily expanded its product lines and services to meet the growing needs of the molecular biology community. It has maintained its position as an aggressive, innovative company in a highly competitive marketplace without sacrificing quality. In the beginning, our primary emphasis was on synthesizing high quality DNA primers and linkers, which were the initial uses of oligos. Today, newer technologies, such as gene construction, PCR, mutagenesis, combinatorial libraries, dye/adduct labeling, DNA microarrays, peptide-nucleic acid chimeras, etc. have challenged the molecular biology field. In response, BSI has branched into several related areas including DNA paternity testing, DNA HLA typing, PNA synthesis, genomic sequencing, fluorescence-based genotyping, custom organic synthesis and other molecular biology based applications.

The Research and Development Division comprises a number of Ph.D. and M.D. professionals with backgrounds in molecular biology, immunology, nucleic acids, peptide synthesis, general organic chemistry, and automated amino acid sequencing. The Molecular Biology Division is set up to handle most modern experimental procedures; the Immunology Division specializes in immunodiagnostic-based reagents.

Not only has BSI continued to provide quality DNA products and services for the research community, but it has also become a world leader in providing custom peptide products and services. Using state-of-the-art solid phase peptide chemistries, BSI provides high quality custom peptides, performs carrier conjugations, antipeptide antibody production, antigenic peptide design, synthesis of long and/or modified peptides, MALDI TOF analysis, contract research, consultation services and more.

Biomedical researchers worldwide in universities, biotech companies, private clinics, and government agencies use products from Bio-Synthesis, Inc. in studies ranging from PCR diagnostics to cancer research and the Human Genome Project.

Custom Peptides

As a leading supplier of genomic and proteomic research products, BSI is able to offer its customers integrated solutions for custom DNA synthesis, custom RNA synthesis, custom polyclonal antibody production, custom peptide synthesis, molecular diagnostic detection kits, DNA Real-Time PCR products, DNA microarray services and a wide range of custom DNA-based diagnostic kits and consumables.

The proteomic division is experienced in the design of peptides, both for antibody production and bioactive peptide synthesis, e.g cosmetic peptides. While the custom peptide synthesis division has the ability to produce thousands of modified or non-modified peptides per day for research applications, BSI also provides diagnostic/therapeutic GMP custom peptide production. Synthesis of custom peptides results in quantities ranging from milligrams to multi-kilograms. The staff in the custom antibody division provide expert support in the selection of peptide antigens for target antibody production and offer convenient custom-bundled packages with a wide range of host animals. In addition, peptide, antibody and protein arrays are also amongst its expertise.

BSI is a U.S. based company whose primary emphasis is on the synthesis of high quality custom products for a variety of applications and a full-service contract manufacturing organization (CMO) delivering research, development and production services for cGMP clinical batch manufacturing.
